On a side street in the Marais, you might expect a shop like this one, so petite and pretty, with papers and envelopes in exotic colors and embossed designs that you’d like to wear, if one wore paper. But here, on a busy Northern Liberties thoroughfare, this small spot—where the invitations are to die for, and yes, they can make your baby book out of that amazing Chiyogami—feels entirely unexpected, like a best-possible surprise.
