Discovered this darling little place today, and fell in love. It is so bright, whimsical, and inviting! And owner Mary is delightful, warm and friendly. She was a pleasure to chat with (...)This is absolutely my favorite small-town seaside shop, I only wish I lived locally so I could visit every day. Someday, I hope that will be so!❤

My daughter and I spent a night in Rockport in December. Their selection of beautiful and unique cards and wrapping papers was so amazing. Lovely assortment of fun gifts for all ages. It was hard to stop perusing through the store. Very happy with our purchases and very friendly shop owners.

One of the main reasons we went to Rockport was to visit The Paper Mermaid [...] a cute storefront on Rockport’s picturesque Main Street, jam-packed with all kinds of eye candy. It’s my ideal kind of store—full of stationery, toys, cool office supplies, and all sorts of “nifty gifties.

The atmosphere of the store is both modern and vintage, wildly colorful but also somehow very calm.

The Paper Mermaid is a small shop offering a delightfully curated array of paper goods, gifts, and toys. As a former employee of Paper Source, it was fun to see some of PS's wares for sale there. I picked up some lovely kids' gifts there.
