Casa Papel Stationery Shop Opens

You swore this would be the year you’d put pen to paper and bring back the letter, weaning yourself from excessive e-mail.

And you will. Just as soon as you check your CrackBerry.

Let new shop Casa Papel kick-start your correspondence. The airy space, which opens today, is stocked with reams of ribbon, stamps, journals, and colorful paper from around the world.

Call on co-owner Cecilia Torres for her bespoke stationery services. She’ll happily create a custom invite for your next bash in her clean, simple style. She also offers workshops, teaching you to create your own cards and books.

Soon, you’ll be reaching out to your loved ones one letter at a time.

That’ll set them all atwitter.

Casa Papel, 804 North Second Street (267-761-9149 or casapapel.com).
