NSS: Carta & Albertine Press

Ribbons, ribbons. I love my ribbons. Some of my favorites are the lovely Italian cotton ribbons sold by Angela Liguori at Carta. I went through oodles of the iron (gray) tight weave ribbon at Christmas last year and it was a dream to work with. I’ve heard so many good things about Angela, and so it was great to meet her and see her artful displays.

Sharing a booth was Shelley Barandes of Albertine Press (and her baby girl Sadie!) I’m quite the fan of her letterpress “bright ideas” notebooks, pictured below, as well as her duckling card series. (Makes me think of Boston.)
