As a writer, I often came to Payn’s Stationery to find the perfect notebook for a new assignment. Since the pandemic, I had lost most of my writing jobs, but I still jumped at the chance to wander through its rainbow of pens, playful stickers, fortress of folders and vintage cards. Then I spotted the jigsaw puzzles. With time on my hands, I started by purchasing a collage of psychedelic butterflies. It was the beginning of an obsession that I credit for saving my sanity.
Besides browsing Payn’s magical collection of wares, its friendly owner always lifted my spirits and not just with the three different scents of hand sanitizer he provided by the door.
