I’m Nadine, the creative spirit and entrepreneur behind La Fabrique à Puce by Nadine Blanchette, a creative stationery brand from Quebec. Every notebook, planner or illustration I design is born from an idea that takes shape in my mind, blossoms through my imagination, and comes to life on my drawing tablet and screen.
This collection is more than just products – it reflects my love for colors, textures, and evocative themes. In addition, each piece is thoughtfully designed to inspire, organize, and brighten your everyday life.
As a result, three guiding words define everything I do – whether as a stationery designer, model, or author: Creativity, Softness, and Intuition. These values infuse every creation with a personal touch and reflect the heart and soul of La Fabrique à Puce.
Creativity is at the heart of my life. I like to see things from a different perspective, to discover and try new things. For example, I enjoy creating something that makes visible an emotion, a memory, or a thought that was once only an idea within us.
As my mom always said, I was born with a pen in my hand. All my school books were filled with doodles or collages to embellish them. To this day, I always have some sort of art project ongoing because I’m curious to try everything.
Yes indeed, I am well known to be a rebel at heart, someone who does not like to comply with established rules or follow trends like the crowd. However, I’m mostly someone who seeks softness.
I enjoy a warm cup of coffee cuddled up in a blanket. In fact, I love the touch of paper under my fingers and the esthetic side of softness, where everything seems to be harmonized perfectly.
I let myself be guided by what some call their inner voice. I breathe deeply and let ideas build up inside me.
Being intuitive allows me to approach everything more softly and ease into the creative process. Although I can’t always explain my logic, I move forward with confidence. This approach allows me to take less conventional roads with joy and trust.
The boutique was born simply from a personal whim. As a child, I adored going to neighbourhood libraries at the beginning of the school year — to walk the aisles, leaf through notebooks, and smell the typical scent of books and paper.
I remember spending time carefully choosing my new stationery box for correspondence. This moment stuck with me and became the seed of something bigger.
With my boutique, I wanted to recreate that same atmosphere of softness and calm. For me, it was a sweet and relaxing escape — and I hoped that this feeling would carry over into my customers’ experience.
That’s why every order is prepared with care. Each one is wrapped like a gift and accompanied by a handwritten thank-you note. Because of this attention, the experience feels personal, warm, and accessible.
When you make your first purchase, you’ll be prompted to create an account. This is important, as it allows you to accumulate your Bonds de Puce!
Every time you spend in our online store, you’ll earn points — and as a result, those points will turn into your Bonds de Puce.
Once you’ve accumulated enough Bonds de Puce, you can benefit from a discount on a future order.
For example, for every $20 spent, you receive 1 Bond de Puce. After 10 Bonds, you’ll get $20 off!
Besides La Fabrique à Puce, I also offer services as a subcontractor to support the growth of other business owners.
For example, I can help with project management, customized illustrations, or the creation of personalized products.
As a result, I become an ally who can support almost anything — except making coffee!
On May 4, 2023, I launched my first book, Blandine, l’Émancipation du cygne. It’s an autobiographical novel that explores the journey to self-esteem and healing.
Since then, I’ve released a second book — a children’s story filled with imagination, gentleness, and wonder. Both titles are available in most libraries and on my online boutique.
Although I currently publish in French only, I remain open to future translations. Perhaps one day, my words will cross into another language too.
This dream of becoming a model was first experienced as a little one, but I was neither tall enough, strong enough, or too this or too that. But this wish was always there in me, and one day I just decided to go for it. I am now well advanced in my forties, classified as a petite model, I slowly but surely make my way in the industry. Already published in magazines such as Moevir, Selin, Malvie and Marika to name just a few of them. I was also seen in Marcelle Cosmetics campaigns.
As a subscriber to the newsletter the PuceNEWS you will never miss a launch, the promotions, the announcements or my anecdotes that I share (I am truly filled with those). You will receive a newsletter every two weeks! And my promise is to make it as interesting and pertinent as possible.
The endearing little black duckling from the story is really whom I am. My nickname Puce comes from my dad. Since he nicknamed me this way, it has been a part of who I am with pride.
