On a recent trip to Den Haag, and after a painful but thrilling purchase at P.W Akkerman, we headed over to
Damen/Paper Royaal, a pretty store that is chock full of paper. I love the entrance with the display windows, full of colours and selection (and temptation).
I'm not kidding - there's an excellent selection of goods and for each brand, there is a LOT to choose from. It's very well organized, by size and paper ruling. It's really, really hard to NOT leave with one of everything. Especially for someone with
oneofeverythingitis.

| I love these notebooks!! I only bought three, despite the overwhelming desire to pick out one of each. |

| Adorable. |
There is a large section at the back for bookbinding, but there is also very unique paper - handmade papers from Japan and Nepal - the former being thin and light, the latter being thick and full of texture and fibers. It's really interesting.
There is also some extremely cute things - such as mini blank notebooks. There are also normal sized notebooks, of course, but the smaller ones are cuter.
We went home with just a few items, but they were needed. Sort of. Reviews to come, but I'm already having fun with them!

OMG! I can't believe that shop. There is nothing like that in the UK that I know of. ALL the notebooks, writing paper, etc, that I have to buy online is there. (Did I say OMG? OMG!!).
kill me NOW!
I need to move to The Netherlands!!!
O_O How can you be there browsing these paper and I'm not! Life is unfair! ;)
It's a good thing this store is far, far away from me. Coming into contact with this store, I would probably suffer a heart attack of joy. And if I didn't die, my bank account would be emptied within minutes.
