1. The Hach
Vancouver, BC V5V 1A5
(604) 566-9611
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Old Blim = new Hach? After opening in the old Blim location almost a full year ago, the Hach (pronounced "hawk", thank you very much) finally lured me in to its slightly whimsical, entirely minimal and ever-chic landscape. Tucked away just off Main…More »

(604) 684-2531

Stationary-fetishists, here is your mecca. From beautiful hand-crafted letterpress cards to kitschy Japanese journals to mouthwatering washi paper to everything in-between, this treasure trove of writing paraphernalia is drool-worthy.
A store that…More »

It's no secret to those in the know that I am a bit of nerd for the written word. For me, paper… Read more »
4. Anthropologie
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J7
(604) 734-2529
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Furniture Stores,
Kitchen & Bath
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Anthropologie, quite literally, is the physical and metaphorical embodiment of my entire life, only on a much different scale. I'm not alone in this -- it's what Anthropologie does best. They sell a sense of adventure, originality, and a promise of a…More »
5. Book Warehouse Discount Book Stores
With all prices at least 20% lower than the "suggested" retail listing, Book Warehouse is a safe bet when I'm in the mood to lay down some dough on a new read. The Davie street location is an especially good spot when looking for a few suggestions.…More »
6. Oscar's Art Books
Vancouver, BC V6J 1W6
(604) 731-0553
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Dear Oscar's,
I know I visit you often, but it's only fair that I let you know just how much you mean to me.
Because of your vast and reasonably priced Moleskine selection, my time and ideas remain organized. Your tables, filled with countless…More »
7. Urban Source
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G7
(604) 875-1611
Category:
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Urban Source is like every great idea I had as a kid, actualized. Buckets of leather scraps, bins of neon buttons, swatches of vintage fabrics, beautiful old keys lined up in a row -- the rotating stock of material is an endless source of craft…More »
8. Old Faithful Shop
Vancouver, BC V6B 1E5
(778) 327-9376
Category:
Home Decor
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Old Chum is one of my all time favourite Tumblrs. Looking through the pages and pages of its posts is like digging through stacks upon stacks of unorganized books only to find that each one is as much a jewel as the last. A paragon of Canadiana of…More »
9. Dandelion Records and Emporium
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E2
(778) 737-7367
Categories:
Vinyl Records,
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
If I were a different, non-exploring type of person, I'd never check out Dandelion. The "record" portion of the store is enough to make me curious, but it's the emporium portion that makes me wander in.
Rightfully, I can't speak about the vinyl…More »
10. Kidsbooks
What kind of sign is it when the people who work in a store love reading even more than I do? A very, *very* good one. As a person with a soft-spot for children's literature who also happens to have a few nieces, a couple 'o nephews, and a fairy…More »
11. Lucky's Comics
Vancouver's a Lucky town to have such an amazingly tiny, but jam-packed full with graphic goodness, niche shop such as this. Bursting at the proverbial seams with work by local and Canadian artists, leaving a bit of room at the back for exhibitions…More »
