Update: February 11, 2011
A sweet little scrapbook store with the sweetest of owners, Vianne and Kieran, may be found at Daisy Day in Peitou, Taipei. When you go, tell them I sent you. Or let me know and I’ll meet up with you there. She keeps an active blog with lots of products. She also offers a wide variety of classes.

For nice Chinese paper, you can go to the paper museum. The museum is interesting to visit to see how paper is made, and they have English guides if you call in advance. They have a small gift shop inside, but a few doors down there’s a paper shop that sells really nice parent sheets of Chinese designs. Make sure you go to the shop and not just the museum (the first time I went, it was just to the museum and I didn’t bother to go back again for years!) The museum is # 68 and the store is #74. Both are on Chang An East Rd.
The other stores I haven’t visited recently, so be sure to call ahead to make sure they are still running.
If you want to find coins/charms, go to Five Fortune (Wu Fu) It’s at #99 Tai Yuan Rd. Taipei Taiwan. Phone (02)2559-0500.
Another place to find coins and trinkets is at Mama Bear at #51 Chang An Rd. Phone (02) 2550-8899 They also have a store in KaoHsiung.
If you go to Chang An Rd in that general area, you’ll see a lot of DIY stores with cords and beads and stuff. Just around the corner is the fabric market (Di Hwa). You’ll find a lot of Chinese fabrics there. Right near the market is a lot of ribbon stores. You can get good prices there.
At #278 Chang An West Rd is ShiShe notions store that sells buckles and lots of cool metal things like letter eyelets and nail heads and lots of fun metal stuff. phone 2558-6980
The stamp stores I know of are (they sell scrapbook supplies too):
Micia
I know they have at least one store, which is located in the shopping mall by the Ferris Wheel (Taipei Eye) in Neihu.
Ali creative (02) 2882 4489 or 0937-952-408
When I go into Taipei, I usually just go to the mega Eslite bookstore near Taipei City hall, on one of the upper floors are two stamp stores and they have a bunch of supplies.
Good luck shopping and let me know what goodies you get. If you know of any other places to shop for supplies, let me know and I’ll add the links. Also, please inform if you know of any stores that have closed.

Cool, thanks for the info. I’ve spent about 7 months in Taiwan and have only ever seen one store that sells stamps and a very few other scrapbooking items. I’ve found some general merchandising stores that sell papers, stickers and a few other embellishments, but no stamps, patterned papers, dies, brads or eyelets. I will try to get to some of these places you’ve mentioned and see what goodies they carry. Thanks again.

Hi Julie! I just got the comment you left on our blog! I’ve actually been traveling away from Taiwan for a month now and just got back to the land of wi-fi this week.
This is a great list and certainly some places I did not know about! My husband is going to moan and groan for sure. Right now, I am trying to figure out how to get all the stuff home I bought in the U.S. I seem to always stock up when I visit the States because I haven’t seen that much in Taiwan (although I do admit to spending way too much at Micia in Neihu.
I will be arriving back in Taiwan in March, we should def get together! Crazy to hear about the Daisy Day store as we used to live right there (about 2 block from the Beitou MRT!)
Thanks again for the comment and so glad to connect with you!

Hi, Julie — I’m the manager of an import company in Taichung called Wilsen Publishing (www.wilsenpublishing.com/cards). We import greeting cards and paper products, and we carry scrapbooking items like sei paper packs, borders, and puffy ABC stickers. We’re working the kinks out of the online store, but it should be ready soon!
