The weekend before we left for our vacation I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon visiting Studio Carta — Angela Liguori’s amazing ribbon and stationary studio in Brookline. My friend Rachael introduced me to her work a few years ago and I have been a huge fan ever since. Once or twice a year she opens up her studio doors and hosts a day long pop-up shop of sorts, inviting other makers from in and around Boston to showcase their work as well. This was my second time going to one of her open studio days and I absolutely love them. Angela’s husband is always there serving espresso and it’s a perfect delight to talk to Angela and meet the other small business owners sharing her space for the day. I always pick up a letterpress card or two {this time from Of Note Stationers which I LOVE} and also always some ribbons. The ribbons I purchased this visit I hope to incorporate into one of my next weavings. I think they’ll add such a unique touch!
