I contacted her and she picked up the leather bound book I had ordered. She returned it promptly with the inscription inside the front cover and included a portion on a separate piece of rag paper with will work fantastically as a bookmark of just on its own as an independent piece of artwork. It was exactly what I was looking for and much more, and her work is flawless. Clearly, she is passionate about her work. I can't say enough about her great work. She even delivered the finished work to my home. I will definitely use her again and refer anyone looking for this type of service to her directly.

The knowledgeable clerks can help you with almost any question and they're willing to order you things they don't normally carry. I've had specialty paint ordered for me before! The prices are comparable to other speciality art stores and the fact that I'm supporting a local shop is super important to me! Allard's also offers classes and there's usually student art on display to show off what students are learning! Located near the old Trader Joe's on Blackstone it's a spacious building filled with art!

I came to Fete & Quill/Raina somewhat last minute before the wedding, as we decided to have professional calligraphy done for two large chalkboard signs rented from Embellish Vintage Rentals. She was extremely quick in responding to emails, so professional and knowledgable in guiding me through the process of coming with with the exact wording/font/design. She was open to doing a kind of art deco font that she's never done before and then creating cool Southwestern designs - I loved the creativity and willingness to be open to new ideas! And boy did she deliver. These signs looked absolutely stunning. Do yourself a favor and have her do your wedding calligraphy/signage!

It was so lovely and easy working with Raina. She was responsive, flexible, and on-top-of it the…read moreentire time. She's also a creative genius so she took a lot of the heavy lifting off me. Everything that we hired Raina for: Menus, Escort Display, Place Cards, Table Numbers, and Signage turned out better than I could have expected. Calligraphy was something I almost cut when we were over budget but I'm so happy I didn't because I truly think those special details made everything come together and give it a true romantic and elegant vibe. I also thought everything was very reasonably priced - especially since she was kind enough to also suggest renting a few pieces and doing some partial custom pieces to keep things reasonable.

The gift wrap is my favorite part, nothing compares to being the one with the present that is so beautifully wrapped you don't even want to open it! Gina and Stephanie are always helpful in picking out something when I don't even know what I'm looking for. And the best part is you can call ahead, ask for a gift idea based on occasion and price range, and they'll take care of the rest! There's so many beautiful things to look at for every part of the home, as well as high end perfumes, candles, clothing, and baby stuff of course. You'll be seeing more of me :)

Gina was wonderful to work with and Elan who does alot of the behind the scenes designing was really creative and very prompt to reply to me. What I appreciate most is that there are no crazy ideas or cookie cutter options -- everything is so unique and if you can imagine it, Gina will find a way! The special touches they helped me create for our wedding were so memorable. I can't wait to work with Gina on future projects, I wouldn't get paper accessories anywhere else! Also, their store is really, really beautiful. My mom and I shopped pretty much everytime we went in to look at proofs or pick up wedding accessories, ha! Can't say enough good things about RSVP -- love, love, love!
