"Mr. Boots, my studio assistant cat received excellent care from friends during my recent trip overseas. So great, in fact, I'm not sure he even missed me!
As a thank you, to repay the kindness of his caregivers, I wanted to bring home just a little something from Italy for these friends.
I was pleased to discover a charming and inviting paper shop, Il Papiro where gift giving ideas abound.
As their website says, Il Papiro produces hand decorated paper with techniques inspired by the tradition of Tuscany - hand decorated papers on journals, books and photo frames.
