Episode #217: Kristina Burkey of Calliope Paperie

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we're talking about running a brick-and-mortar stationery store with my guest Kristina Burkey of Calliope Paperie (https://calliopepaperie.com/) in Natick, Massachusetts. Kristina owns Calliope (https://calliopepaperie.com/) , a fun and quirky stationery and gift shop in Natick, MA. Calliope started as an online shop in 2014, opened as a brick-and-mortar location in 2016, and just recently moved into a new and bigger location in downtown Natick. Kristina has loved paper and pens and stickers for about as long as she can remember and her 8-year-old self would be freaking out right now if she knew what we were doing. +++++ This episode is sponsored by Schiffer Craft (http://www.schiffercraft.com/) , an imprint of Schiffer Publishing.
