Hello everyone and welcome to the Paper Love Blog Hop.
I am so excited to have you drop by my blog and learn about a paper and gift shop that I discovered recently, thanks to a friend of mine. I hope you enjoy learning about a new place to go to feed your love of paper and your paper happiness.

A few weeks ago, I heard from a friend about a little gift shop featuring unusual cards and papers called "LuLa Mae" located in Pasadena, California. My friend raved about this "little gem" located in the popular Old Town District on Fair Oaks Ave. Apparently LuLa Mae was voted the Best Gift Boutique in Pasadena, along with being named Best Card Shop and the best one stop gift shop in Los Angeles.
Upon entering LuLa Mae's I was enchanted by the lay out of the store. Shelves were stocked with gifts and papers and unusual cards,
just as my friend had mentioned.

My friend raved about this "little gem" located in the popular Old Town District on Fair Oaks Ave. Apparently LuLa Mae was voted the Best Gift Boutique in Pasadena, along with being named Best Card Shop and the best one stop gift shop in Los Angeles.
Upon entering LuLa Mae's I was enchanted by the lay out of the store. Shelves were stocked with gifts and papers and unusual cards,
just as my friend had mentioned.
The very friendly shop owner, Marci Toombs, greeted me with a lovely smile and a sparkle in her eyes. She showed me a large wooden table with all sorts of goodies on it and told me that people can come in, sit down and create their own, one of kind special card, at the table.
I loved the sign on the wall above Marci that read "This is My Happy Place." I took this picture of her while she was ringing up another happy customer.
There is truly something for everyone at this colorful, wonderful shop, from baby to bath and body, home and garden, paper goods, books, handbags, jewelry, accessories, candles and special holiday items. It is also Marci and LuLa Mae's custom to give a treat with every purchase to thank customers for their loyalty.
If you are looking for a unique place to find that perfect gift or just a place to browse for something for yourself, step through the magical door of LuLa Mae's located at 100 North Fair Oaks Ave. in the heart of historic Old Town Pasadena. You will not be disappointed. It is now my own "little gem" and I know I will be back there many times in the future. Thanks Marci for creating your "Happy Place" so that others can enjoy it.
