Little Lina’s Lovelies Home

I took full advantage of the gorgeous weather and friends popping into my neck of the woods from Florida to traipse around Asheville, NC again. I do have to say, Asheville is a must visit if you have even a hint of artistic ability in your bones.

My full time Asheville resident friend, Suzanne, took me to a place she had been wanting to show me since she found it, Origami Ink. And WOW the place floored me. She was so right, it is a gorgeous store, full of such cool finds! I totally almost fell over when I saw the display of rice paper on the wall. I wish I could get one of each for my necklaces!

I got the chance to meet the owner too, she seemed like a wonderful person. She mentioned her unique decoration and displays come from taking the time to refine the shop. She did a wonderful job, it’s bright, airy, sophisticated, vintage, yummy – all of the above! Look at the unique lighting fixture, wow, I just had to photograph it.

Not to mention, the stationary blows you away with it’s top-shelf quality, just look at the beautiful embossing on their own business cards!

So by now you are probably like, great picts but what does the store sell!? They basically say, “Origami Ink is an artisan stationer and gallery that honors the art of “handmade” and “unique”, and will take you back to a time when artists hand created the finer luxuries and were revered for their fine craftsmanship.”

If you walk in and take a look around you’ll see very unique gifts like handcrafted picture frames, amazing custom stationary, truly gorgeous I tell you, and lots of amazing treasures for anyone’s home office or life in general.

They opened Oragami Ink in November 2008 here in Asheville, I wish them the best (so I can keep going back hehe).
