A few images of a recent calligraphy project that called for simple, modern calligraphy. The bride had the invitations done by Tiny Prints – I love the charcoal and yellow color combination.

An Australian magazine, Shop ‘Til You Drop, recently did a feature on clothing and gifts based on favorite TV shows – and the Blue Eye Brown Eye Don Draper card was included in their Mad Men mix! Below is a picture of the cover and the feature. Thanks for including me, Shop ‘Til You Drop!

Prim & Proper Trunk Show
February 17, 2011 § Leave a Comment
The Prim & Proper Trunk Show event was a lot of fun, and I want to thank those that helped make it all happen: Melanie, owner of Prim & Proper, Callie, owner of Linguine and Dirty Martinis (remember her holiday cards?) and Lauren, who is always helping open doors for me. Guests shopped, snacked on sweet treats from Callie, drank a little bubbly, and wrapped up their Valentine presents with fun crafting supplies provided. All in all, it was a success!
Coconut cupcakes from Linguine and Dirty Martinis – they were delicious.
Letterpress Wedding Suite
February 16, 2011 § 2 Comments
Last week I wrapped up a wedding suite – and I’m so excited to share it with you. As always, wedding suites are such a big task, and yet so rewarding when dropped in the mail. I designed the invitations and did the calligraphy, while a new friend at Letterpress Graphics did the printing this time. Since my press is so small, larger pieces of work tend to be more of a challenge. I’m just tickled with the final result.

Have you visited B H L D N yet {pronounced beholden}? It’s Anthropologie’s new wedding concept that launched yesterday and, as anticipated, I love it. Here are a couple of things I desire from the site:

A wonderful friend of mine, Molly, is getting married in July in Chicago. Her colors match the Chicago flag, and also happen to be one of my favorite color combinations: red and aqua. Here’s a couple of photos of her bridal shower invitation, can you tell I was digging on stripes?

Vintage Shoot

I recently loaned one of my vintage wedding dresses to California based photographer Jessica Claire for a workshop she conducted a month ago. Those who attended are starting to post their images online and I asked photographer Shanda of Created by Shanda to share some photos and she graciously sent a few over. Here are some of my favorites.
