About West Shore Papercraft, LLC
Hi, I’m Marie; the hands, heart, and ink‑stained fingertips behind West Shore Papercraft. I live along the beautiful coastline of Connecticut in the town of West Haven, where I share life (and plenty of beach walks) with my dog, Pete.
My business name was inspired by the West Shore area, a place that’s always felt like home. Walking barefoot in the sand with a calm breeze and the smell of salt in the air sparked the creativity that eventually grew into West Shore Papercraft. I strongly believe that both taking in the ocean, listening to the calming waves, and journaling are incredibly therapeutic.
I’ve always believed that paper goods should feel personal — something you want to hold, gift, or tuck away for years. Every journal, card, and piece of stationery I create is made with intention, care, and a love for the small details that make handmade items special.
Whether you’re starting a new chapter in a fresh journal, sending a handwritten note, or looking for a meaningful gift, I’m honored to be part of your story.
