Description
Baby Boomers will remember the marbled Kleenex box issued in the 1980s. The marbled pattern on the original box was reproduced from this paper, or one like it. Harrison, active 1980–1994, purchased her business in 1980 from Terry Harlow, renamed it Decorated Papers, and eventually moved it to Easthampton, Massachusetts, a town of many book artists and fine press publishers. Through it, she licensed and sold her papers and proprietary supplies.
