Maude from Paper Doll
Between rows of hand-pressed cards and bamboo-scented candles roams Maude, a “house pug” with so much moxie that she once dressed as a mixtape for Halloween. The favorite leading lady—er, doggie—of this Wicker Park stationery outpost has a penchant for Thai food and skateboarders but hates the M*A*S*H theme song—and seeing her customers walk out of her shop. Don’t worry, Maude; we hate leaving you every time, too.
