my sister amy is the designer at the coolest stationery store - in little italy (it's in san diego) called India Ink Papers. i took these pictures (before my battery died) when i was visiting last weekend. the displays in the store are always so creative. alice who works there,
is always coming up with new ideas for window displays, and other inspiring ways to display new products. right now the ceiling is covered in different patterned papers, & there's a black, white & yellow theme behind the counter. the bathroom is also decorated..last time the whole ceiling was covered with upside down drink umbrellas! make sure you visit if you are ever in the area ( they also design the best custom wedding & other invitations) stacey, one if the owners, also had a great taste, and always buys some of coolest, & unique products for the store. i always ending buying a handful of little gifts when i visit, and it's so hard only to choose a few...
OMG!!! What a freakin' AWESOME store!! Fun, fun, fun!

When ever I get down there, I'm definitely going to pop into the store. I can't believe I live as close as I do and just rarely get to San Diego. Allison, we need to bring her to the dark side of scrapbooking! (ha ha) As creative as Amy is, she would be awesome at it!!

Totally agree one of my favorite stores in San Diego, and my hubby works right next door, so i go and visit Amy often.
Was so fun to be in your class at Ever After, congrats on your new toy.
