Cotton ribbons and twine ideas

Before closing the studio and shop for this year, I would like to share some ideas, collected over 2012, of the use of cotton ribbons and twine from other designers. Is either the use in their photography, their styling, or just to make a new, creative product, that I find it so inspiring! I made several posts during the year as Moglea, Letter and Lark, Rifle Paper Co., Anthropologie and many more, but I always find endless ideas through out the creative world, to feel flattered every time I recognize one of our products used in a such an original way. Thank you everyone for keeping us inspired and encouraged to continue offering something new in 2013! You can find more images and ideas on our facebook page and, if you like to share, you are welcome to post your own creations. We would love to see them! See more from previous years, here and here. My warmest wishes for the holidays and a bright new year!

DIY advent wreath on Gardenista

I was thrilled when I saw the final project Justine Hand worked on with the Chartreuse cotton ribbon, she purchased at Paper, Fabric and Stitch, when we first met. What a brilliant idea, and on Garnenista you can find step by step and the list of materials on how to make your own advent wreath with foraged flora. It looks so beautiful, simple and elegant!

Cotton Twine on sale!

Already very close to the holidays, we are planning ahead to the new year for new projects and products to work on in our studio. Always in search for better quality materials, natural fiber and unique colors, we are planning to bring the Cotton Twine a step further in winter 2013. While a new production is already in progress, we are happy to announce a 50% off all the spools of Cotton Twine in our shop, until December 18th. Hurry up, there are not that many spools left in stock and stay tuned for any news on the Twine in the new year!

Paper, Fabric and Stitch at Michelle Willey

Another cold and rainy day. But I smiled thinking of the last two days in South End in great company with my dear friends, designers and makers, for our annual Paper, Fabric and Stitch event. Here some images of the past two days, that have been amazingly resumed by Justine Hand from Remodelista and posted on her Designskool blog. I had the pleasure of meeting Justine in person, while she was taking some beautiful photos of our work in display at Michelle Willey. Thank you to everyone that came to visit us and to Jill, Susy, Sophie and Justine for making the event such a delight!

The Open Studio

Open Studio last Saturday was such a happy event. Despite the cloudy, snowy day, so many friends, old students and clients came to cheer the day with us. It was a delight! Many thanks to Susy and Valerie to join us with their amazing work, to Hillary for her precious help and to everyone that came and made the day so special. We loved meeting each and everyone of you! It made me want to celebrate, in the studio, again and more often in 2013!

Anthropologie's wrapping station

The Open Studio, on Saturday, was a lot of fun and I can't wait to share some photos taken during the day. Thank you so much to everyone that came to celebrate the season with us!
While I'm trying to catch up with orders and getting ready for the next holidays sale this weekend, I found these colorful images on the Anthropologie's website, that shows some great ideas and products for the holidays wrapping. I happily spotted our Citrine and Emerald Twine in their display and how fun is the hand-made pom pom on the package? I'm a big fan of Paperphine from Austria and I was delighted to find her bright blue and green twine there too! Also, if you are looking for our line of Vintage Glassine, we are currently sold out, but they are still available on their online shop, if you are interested. I hope you will enjoy all the Anthropologie wrapping goodies online and more news to come!
