I've always loved book shops, especially second hand book shops, rabbit warrens full of surprises, each book a piece of art that you can pick up, turn over and thumb through. The best are the ones with cafes attached, somewhere to read and write, appreciate the art on the walls, have a conversation or simply watch the world go by.
Someday I want my own cafe, bookshop and exhibition space, but as I do not have the funds yet I thought I would start The Paper Cafe for now.
So far The Paper Cafe is a series of unique publications, handmade notebooks and some cafe chat.
The publications are illustrated short stories exhibited in handmade books.
The notebooks are also handmade and unique, they are made to order and can be tailored to your individual needs.
The cafe chat is a blog, the place I go to when I want to share an idea or start a conversation.
Whilst I can't offer you a cup of tea just yet, I can invite you to make your own and I hope you enjoy browsing through The Paper Cafe.
Thanks for visiting - Katie May

The Paper Cafe is a virtual cafe and bookshop where you can browse the artwork, buy some notebooks and dip into some conversation. Don't forget to make yourself a cuppa before having a look around!
Id like a job in the paper cafe, I will send my cv for your perusal but for now Id like to order a set of miniature notebooks xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! Maybe that's something we can chat about in the future ;-) I'll have some miniature notebooks ready for you asap!
