Io Adoro – Sugar Paper – Los Angeles, California
Finally, my jet lag is over.
My trip to Los Angeles was fantastic. Those who know me or read my former blog know how I feel about the City of Angeles. However, this trip was different.
Kathryn M. Ireland’s Design Bootcamp had a lot to do with my positive experience. I will post about that later.
While I was in L.A. I met up with two friend friends/colleagues at Farmshop located in the Brentwood Country Mart.
I was a little early so I stopped by what seemed to be a lovely stationary store. Once I was inside, I almost lost my mind. It was Sugar Paper! I’ve read about this store many times but never had a chance to visit it.
Remembering my luggage restrictions (and my budget), I limited myself to just two items. It was very difficult.
Founded in 2003 by graphic designers Chelsea Shukov and Jamie Grobecker, Sugar Paper makes beautiful letter-pressed stationary. I love their stylish designs.
There’s something really special about handwritten notes. It’s so rare to receive one these these days. Everything is online.

I had fun following along on your trip through Instagram.
Thank you SO much for your comment on yesterday’s post. It was exactly what I was thinking and so well articulated. xo
You’re welcome! I couldn’t believe some of the comments.
