Penny’s Paper is practically perfect
When we were coming up with the name of our shop we deliberated for some time. Finding a name isn’t easy and we wanted something that was fun and cute that showed the kind of people we are. Eventually we settled on naming our little shop after our Yorkie Poodle mix Penny Layne Matics. After alliterative acrobatics we decided that Penny’s Paper was practically perfect.
This whole story starts back in September of 2014 when we got engaged. We were looking for a pollen free alternative to the typical flower arrangements that you would typically find at a wedding as Andrew gets migraines from his allergies. Meredith instantly came up with the idea to make paper flowers for the wedding, and after some trial and error she came out with striking and beautiful flowers that were both pollen free and wedding worthy. Skip ahead to February and Meredith was still making those flowers, nonstop. After a few friends expressed interest in purchasing them for their own purposes we decided that maybe starting an Etsy shop for specialty papercrafts such as the flowers and hand cut reliefs and other such items would be a great idea. Thus Penny’s paper was born.
