Last updated on 01 Aug, 2026

August is my birthday month but you get the presents - 25% off everything. This year the Birthday Sale will end early (8/24) so that I can take a no doubt undeserved break. Happy Shopping.

Welcome. - In this shop you will find a strong preference for one particular medium - PAPER. Shop for handmade boxes, handbound books (many with letterpress), artist papers and more. If you would like to learn more about paper arts and find tutorials on making various paper projects you are invited to visit my website - The Paper Assembly:
www.thepaperassembly.com

In addition to my studio work I will be "de-stashing" supplies, and perhaps some tools, that were formerly offered at Reminiscence Papers (my first, but now departed Etsy shop). Beginning with my large cache of letterpress type I will also be adding vintage buttons, vintage doll parts, brads, vintage watch parts, trims, tapes and so much more. Check in often as things come and go quickly in the de-stash sections of this shop.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Paper Assembly is a great seller. Items arrived on time, thoughtfully packaged, and with a very cool little handmade thank you gift: a small booklet to use to sample stamp the blocks. The only thing I’d note is this many blocks could easily have been too much for a -paper- bubble mailer given the lack of care in handling by the USPS. Highest recommendation I could give for a seller.
