The Paper Scissors Stone Team
Paper Scissors Stone is lovingly run by a small team of two women — plus Richie — who keep everything moving with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart.
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 — Former Owner & Chief Cheerleader
From 2018–2026, Philothea carried Paper Scissors Stone with the generosity, courage, and unmistakable heart that define her. Her vision and warmth shaped the shop’s character and strengthened its service to the Waldorf community. A true community builder, she has played a key role in many local projects — including helping bring Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School into being. Though she has passed the business into new hands, her presence, care, and radiant encouragement remain part of its story.
Christine — Owner & Creative Lead
Christine is a lifelong artist and K–12 art teacher who curates every product with real classroom experience in mind. She discovered Waldorf education in 2013 while teaching art at Youth Initiative High School, where her daughter later spent four years. As owner of Paper Scissors Stone, she focuses on materials that truly support teachers and the developmental arc of the child.
Lydia — Warehouse & Shipping Manager
Lydia keeps the daily rhythm of Paper Scissors Stone moving with steadiness, care, and an eye for detail. She assists customers, pulls and packs orders, and oversees the flow of the warehouse with a calm, reliable presence. An artist and musician with her own Waldorf roots, she brings warmth and intention to every part of the work.
“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.
