it’s a good thing i spent a good chunk of wednesday organizing our studio, because lookie what came in the mail today.
this lovely address file now has a sweet home on my desk. i’ve been lusting after it for what seems like forever, and i finally decided to get on the waiting list for one.
it’s handmade, filled with pretty + colorful recycled paper, and receiving it really made my day!
over the years, i’ve been very fortunate to meet many supportive and talented people in the blogging world. back when kacey and i were forming duet letterpress, several of these blogging friends and i realized we were all embarking on a similar path at the same time. we were all in the midst of starting up our own businesses. each of us had goals. each of us had questions. together, we decided to form a little group in order to draw strength and knowledge from each other and go along this new business journey together.
our little group known as the bodacious business planners is comprised of four wedding planners, two stationery designers, two photographers and an illustrator, and today we are being featured on sage wedding pros. thanks michelle!
we’ve been quite busy in the studio lately. despite the summer heat, we’ve been working on a little christmas line of cards + tags. seems crazy that august is halfway over and the holidays are around the corner.
oh, and thanks for the dining room prints feedback. i’m still undecided though i’m leaning towards framing travel pictures and hanging a blanca gómez print in another room.
off to drop off these goodies into the mail. happy thursday!
this weekend, i picked up the most beautiful peony blooms. they smell so, so lovely and are huge - about the size of my hand. there’s just something about having fresh flowers around. i can’t help but smile when i see + smell them.
hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was filled with lots of organization as we reconfigured our studio. Thanks to last weekend’s trip to Ikea, we added new shelves, extra bookcases and a big, brand new desk. I’m loving the new space, and it’s already getting quite a workout since we’re busy working on a new letterpress collection. I can’t wait to show you guys!
And hello to you coming over from Coveiter! Welcome. I hope you find bits of inspiration here and enjoy your stay.
Nothing like fresh flowers to spruce up the ole studio. I picked up these lovely fresh Tulips this afternoon at a local market.
Hope you’re having a good week! We’re definitely staying busy, and it feels wonderful.
While in Austin, it got much colder than either of us anticipated or packed for. So, we ended up making a quick stop in REI top pick up warmer clothes for our stay. Right next to REI was Antropologie, so I made a quick stop there, too. I’m so glad I did, because I walked out with this lovely dish. It has a rugged birch-like exterior and glossy soft-colored interior.
I had been on the lookout for a little ring holder for quite some time. And this is just perfect. Now, when I’m operating the press, my rings have a nice spot to hold tight and not get damaged.
Yesterday, we stopped by a local food market to pick up some fresh flowers for a little photoshoot in the studio. Amidst all the holly, poinsettias, amaryllis, wreaths and little rosemary trees, were these wonderful pale pink peonies!
They look like little scrumptious scoops of ice cream.
If you’re a twine lover like me, you’ll be happy to know that I just scored this cotton twine at Office Depot for half off. We’re talking $10 for 3000 feet. I didn’t even know they carried it, but while looking for packing tape I saw this on sale and snagged it.
