PaperStory important update
Our shop in Bawdeswell will be closed from 23rd August 2026 for approximately two months, while Angie undergoes daily chemoradiotherapy for cancer treatment.
Our online store is open as usual, and we will continue to dispatch orders three times a week throughout this time. We can arrange in-store collection for local customers who would prefer to collect their orders in person.

Paperstory has long been my go-to place…
Paperstory has long been my go-to place for art supplies, and that won't be changing any time soon! Angela and Chris are so helpful, and their customer service is the very best, bar none. The products are fantastic quality, and always the best price possible. I can't recommend Paperstory highly enough. Almost every piece of art I create has something from Paperstory included in Paperstory has long been my go-to place…
