The Brand: Good things happen when two sisters and a cousin (Ali, Jenni and Pippi) get together to make up E. Frances Paper. Based in Newport, Rhode Island, this studio—now quite large—is full of heart. Each piece is drawn, painted, created right in-studio and rolled out with great care. They say about themselves, “We are a positive paper goods company that creates meaningful, personal connections by expressing love, gratitude and kindness. Our goal is to provide pure customer delight to everyone, aged 1 to 101.”

Description: Your desk and kitchen counter won’t be the same once you start featuring the E. Frances Notepads on them. Our customers have become addicted! Bringing cheer and sweetness into the every day, these pads are made of 150 sheets of sturdy paper with a double thick chipboard back. Hot tip: Keep a few on hand as hosting or teacher gifts and you’re sure to please!
