The Paper Scissors Stone Team
Paper Scissors Stone is lovingly run by a small team of three women — plus Richie — who keep everything moving with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart.
Philothea • Christine • Lydia • Richie
We share in the management, decision‑making, and hands‑on work that happens every day in our warehouse. When you call, you’ll likely hear Lydia or Christine’s voice. When you place an order, one of us will personally pull, pack, and ship your supplies with the same attention we’d give to our own families. Because we are such a small team, we hold ourselves to a high standard and take pride in the care we offer our customers, our community, and each other.
Philothea — Owner & Chief Cheerleader
Philothea is the heart behind Paper Scissors Stone. She believes deeply in the value, history, and intention of this business. In 2018, she purchased PSS to support and strengthen its vision and to continue the exceptional service offered to the Waldorf community.
Her entrepreneurial spirit runs deep. Over the years, she has helped bring many community projects to life, including the conception and establishment of Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School. She remains actively involved in local initiatives and embodies the friendship, care, and dedication found at the center of every thriving community.
Christine — General Manager, Artist & Product Developer
Christine wears many hats: General Manager, in‑house artist, marketing lead, and product developer. A lifelong artist, K–12 art teacher, and former art‑supply business owner, she brings years of experience using, teaching, and researching art materials.
She manages our social media and is continually learning to filter her deep art knowledge through a Waldorf lens. “I discovered Waldorf later in life, in 2013, when I began teaching art at Youth Initiative High School. My daughter later attended YIHS for four years. What a magical journey it has been — I highly recommend it!”
Lydia — Warehouse & Shipping Manager
Lydia keeps our warehouse humming. She assists customers, packs and ships orders, and brings music into the workspace — she’s often heard singing while she works. An artist and musician, she carries her own Waldorf story with her.
“I had a transformative experience attending a Waldorf‑based high school and will forever look back fondly on my time there.”
Richie — Inventory & Warehouse Support
Richie works part‑time managing our consignment inventory at Ewetopia’s retail fiber shop and supports the warehouse by cleaning, receiving incoming supplies, and repacking bulk items. He brings a calm, grounded presence and is passionate about off‑grid camping and meditation.
