I wanted to share one of my favourite stores with you all, The Regional Assembly of Text. It's located here in Vancouver, but you can shop online as well.
Rebecca Dolen and Brandy Fedoruk are the owners of this happy little shop and they make a very creative duo. You will find a fabulous selection of screen printed wrapping paper, T-shirts, greeting cards, wooden storage boxes and you can even create your own buttons (see above). If you're in the area, you have to check it out.
I love the old lockers and typewriters (not for sale).
You can type out your own letter on a variety of papers, tags and envelopes.
These quilted letter squares are perfect for a baby shower or a kid's room. Wooden boxes (bottom right), in two sizes, are great for storing jewelry, a small sewing kit, or pencils.
A great idea - the "one button a month" club. Love it.
A wall of wrapping paper, ribbons and typewriters.
The back room, where they create some of their fabulous designs.
I've loaded this little box up with candles and along with the vintage tumblers/candle holders, and box of wax matches, it'll make a sweet house warming gift.
I heart the Regional Assembly of Text.

Hi Janis,

This looks like such a fun shop! I hope I can visit it one day when I return home to visit.
Thanks for the tip sweetie!
wow, this shop looks amazing! thanks for the review!
I love the look of this shop. Now I'm drooling over the brown bird wrapping paper, and that green locker too. What a dream.
P.S. so glad you received your package. enjoy, and thanks again!
What a fun shop! Loving those vintage typewriters! I'd love to rummage around in there for an afternoon - the little housewarming box is so cute. :)
what utterly gorgeous photographs ! I LOVED this post, thank you..
YIKES ...how have I missed this gem...oh yeah...I live in Timbucktoooo..silly me ..I shall have to stop in there next time in!...Love it & thanks for sharing!
This shop looks so cute, I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Van!
great pics of a fave shop! i love that shot of the 'thumbs up' button you took.
and that is a super sweet housewarming gift!
This just makes me sigh wistfully. Here in Lille there is a distinct lack of one - off stylish, arty, kinda out there shops. Divine...
This sweet little shop is in my fave neighbourhood of Vancouver too. Lots of great shops and restaurants in the area. It's Main Stree - they may be calling the area "SOMA" these days (south of main. something like that.)
thanks for all the lovely comments everyone!
MUST GO SEE THIS as a side trip next time I'm up in Seattle. What a great little shop!
Love your blog and photos are gorgeous!
LOVE the house warming gift, such a good idea, so sweet ! xx

Wow, this looks like my kinda shop! I love those typewriters!! x
What a happy surprise to have come here via Razmataz to see you're also in BYW. This shop looks wonderful. I especially like the typewriter set up so people can write a letter. Funny, but I'm getting ready to post a shop tour that looks very similar to this one, but it's in Los Angeles.
Oooh! How do I livein Vancouver and not know about this place? Thank you for sharing! The typewriter is darling :)

This place looks fabulous and, being an ex-Vancouverite, I can't believe I had never heard of it!!! I am absolutely visiting next time I am up~
Have a marvelous weekend,

That shop looks fabulous. I too love the old lockers and banker's desks! Not to mention the vintage typewriters!
That is so fun!! I miss Vancouver's Main Street shops....well actually I just miss Vancouver entirely :(
I will have to check this out when we return for a visit! xo
