“This shop made the most beautiful paper roses, all from pages of my favorite novel, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. In addition to the wonderful quality of the workmanship, Allegra was so polite, considerate, and friendly to deal with. She made the entire process of choosing paper, style, etc easy and fun. I HIGHLY recommend this shop!” - Susan M.
