Window Shopping
It looks like many of us won't be able to give our grandkids a big hug on Easter Sunday :(. Consider sending an unbelievably cuddly Jellycat stuffed bunny to do the job for you!
This is just one of the items we have available in our new "Window Shop". We've transformed our windows along 152nd and on 9th Ave. into a (very) low-tech "catalog" of sorts! We've tried to include a variety of items. Each is labeled with an item number, name and price. We couldn't put candles in the window because of the sun but if there is a candle scent that you have been craving we are happy to get that to you as well.
So, how does it work? Just send us an email at info@paperdelights.com with your name, address and phone number. Include the item numbers and names of the goodies you want. If you want something that is not in the window, describe it in the email and we will do our best to get that to you as well!. We will call you with a total and you can give us your credit card over the phone. If you live in the Burien/Normandy park area we will arrange to drop off your treasures outside your home in one day for free (what else do we have to do?). We can also arrange for a pick up outside our shop or (for a shipping fee) we can drop it in the mail.
We miss you! We miss being in our little shop and like everyone we miss normalcy! At the same time we are grateful that the COVID-19 has not struck anyone that we know and we hope the same it true for you. On the upside we love the creativity that these new circumstances have inspired. We love the lack of traffic, we love ZOOM, and we love jigsaw puzzles (who new they were addictive?).
Drop by and take a peek! We hope to hear from you soon! Take care :)
Freshen up with Plants!
We are over the moon with houseplants! I think this long, gray northwest winter has really stoked our desire (need?) to bring the outdoors in. We're decorating our own homes with a variety of beautiful, fresh foliage so, of course we wanted to bring all kinds of gorgeous greenery into our shop! Choose among the huge variety of plants of all sizes. Pair a tiny plant with a pretty new pot for a perfect little hostess gift. Pop a larger plant into a basket for a nice contrast of texture. It's amazing how this simple touch can really give a fresh update to any decor!
One Year in Olde Burien!!
Remember "Bonjour Burien"? A year ago we set in the mosaic door mat (whew!) and starting passing out canvas bags to make our statement: "Bonjour Burien, we are so happy to be putting the products we love in our home town!" We never tire of hearing you say that you're glad we're here as well. We even have a customer who said she comes into the shop when she's feeling down just to lift her mood! We are most happy to oblige!
As long-time residents we feel good ole' Burien is on the rise and what a thrill to be a part of it! We thank all of you for the support that you have given us. We take it as a strong statement that you want to do some shopping in your home town in real stores from real people.
We are committed to stocking only the items that we want to use (and gift) ourselves. We work hard to find unusual, functional, earth-friendly products of high quality that reflect our design aesthetic. This brings joy to our work and our relationships with our customers! Our hope is that when you visit you will have an uplifting, fun-filled adventure as you discover the perfect gift or necessity nestled in our shelves!
SO...please join us on Friday, November 29 from 10 am - 6 pm to celebrate this mini-milestone! We'll have sips and treats and a gift with purchase! Bring your "Bonjour Burien" bag from last year and you'll get 10% off your entire purchase all day!
We hope that you will spend the day and discover all the amazing little shops in the neighborhood!
