I don't know where my fascination for thrift shops started, but I do know, my youngest sister and I share the same interest. We are bound by our crazy interest on small bookstores like really small ones packed with maybe second hand books ranging from romance to travel and even DIYs. While we can spend hours on bigger bookstores like National and Powerbooks, it's different when we're at "Booksale," say... double the amount of time we spend on it.
Needless to say, we're both enchanted by stores that are more personalized (handcrafted items, old novels that has seen the times, journals etc...). I personally collect organizers and yes! pens! but on this particular day, I was greeted by a thrift shop with an impeccable feature.

The Papier Tole Shop
Address: General Luna St, Intramuros, Manila, Metro Manila |
Handmade crafts from post-its to small journals, pens, table top notepad, notebooks that can be counted as collectibles and the list could go on. A locally made wrapping paper is also available and hundred more paper products that if you compare it to food, it's gastronomic as it is pleasing to the eyes. WOW the description :D
Inventory? yup! I wonder too... The knickknacks are endless and the variety of items were too many; it actually makes the place very interesting.
The store keeper was kind enough to offer me to take a look at the backyard. This is the path within the store leading to the back where the view is equally enchanting.
