Paper Source, River North

It’s Papyrus-meets–Urban Outfitters at this stationery shop. Paper Source offers everything from greeting cards to children’s books in a charming, two-story building with wooden floors and pastel-painted walls. Look for tongue-in-cheek items such as Feminist Ryan Gosling books and flasks designed like pill bottles labeled “RX Boozemin.” Journey up the creaky staircase to the second floor for a crafter’s paradise. Rolls of sumptuously patterned papers line the bright walls.
