Precious Paper Goods. . . . . . .


I'm always on the lookout for interesting paper products.
When at Oxford Green I found some beautiful things actually made 
here in the USA 


I'm loving the paper table runners. They are long rolls of heavy paper, 
some white and already illustrated with line drawings such as knives, forks and 
spoons. My favorite however is plain black which comes with its own chalks so 
you can create your own art and write wonderful quotes about food, life and the 
love of cooking and creating for your guests. . . . . as Shawna, the very 
creative owner of Oxford Green has done here.
I bought a roll and hope to find a smidgen of artistic talent lurking somewhere
so I can make a lovely table later.
These oversized notepads another paper goods from are great 
and have many uses. They also come in different designs, all just lovely. 
Shawna suggests using them to print menus - there are matching place mats
available also.

Colorful Gifts and Home Decor at Oxford Green. . . . . .


I popped into the amazing gift/home decor shop 
Oxford Green this weekend.

Life is hectic to say the least. I'm trying to get ready for the upcoming trip and still 
work in other required chores on the TO DO list. It seems to gather projects and 
grow longer daily. 
Our air conditioning needs servicing - these last very hot days have been 
uncomfortable in the house with no cooling. . . . . .and the service guy has yet to appear.
The garden is growing non-stop and requires daily attendance. . . . . I swear the 
grass grows an inch every day now.
Meanwhile, thick yellow pollen coats every surface and birdsong is muffled by 
coughing and sneezing.

Oxford Green, a little oasis of beauty, is directly across from where I go for 
physiotherapy twice weekly. That takes a chunk of my time, but is necessary 
if I'm going to dodge the surgeon's knife and be able to toddle around those 
European cobble stoned streets soon!

I've tried to stay away from this lovely shop but gave in yesterday when 
looking for a couple of special gifts.
My previous post on the shop was last Fall HERE.
I told owner Shawna I'd take a few pics and write this little post on her delightful 
shop before leaving town, so please enjoy looking around here. . . . . . . . you will 
definitely see some treasures to brighten your Monday. 
If you live locally I would suggest a visit - you'll love it here.
