now that we have a little one, it seems i’ve been gravitating towards party planning blogs, especially ones for kids. above are three that i’ve bookmarked. i thought i’d share them with you, too. click on the headers above to be linked to the corresponding blog.
do you have any other favorites? do tell!
hello there! hope you are having a good week. em and i are away visiting family, so as you’ve noticed, posting will be light this week. her baptism [and a little celebration to follow] will be this weekend, so we’re scooting around town getting everything ready for it. above is what she will be wearing [aka, the handmade gown + bonnet that i wore for my own christening as a baby].
when we get back, i’ll have lots of fun stuff to post. her baptismal invitations, her baby announcements + more!
the other day i was watching destination design on hgtv. the show sends the homeowners on vacation. the homeowners take pictures of things that they discover while away. then, the host uses those pictures as inspiration for their room which gets a makeover.
during the show i caught, the homeowners went to austin, texas, and one of their experiences was glassblowing. the glassblowing just so happened to be at the same place that i took kacey for our glassversary. that’s when i also realized that i never blogged about our glassblowing experience! so, i thought i’d share the pictures with you guys now.

every morning i check several baby deal sites and today they had these adorable ties on kid steals. so cute, right? i was tempted to buy a couple for gifts, but before i could get my credit card out they were all sold out! that’s the only downside to these sites. if you like something, snag it the second the sale starts or you could miss out.
i’m smitten by these linen pouches by etsy seller pilli pilli. so sweet!
i don’t know what my deal with stripes on babies is, but i love them! here’s some more from polarn o. pyret that i spotted.
hope you had a great weekend! ours was filled with out of town family, grilling and a make-your-own pizza party. we had such a good time.
lovely artwork by tauba auerbach. her website is quite fun and worth a peek too.
it’s been hot + sunny and perfectly summery. and i don’t know about you, but i think of pinwheels when i think of summer. so in honor of summer, we printed up these cheery saffron pinwheel note cards and added them to our etsy shop.
also, since welcoming a new addition to our little family, we’ve been holding off on taking custom orders. now, we’re happy to say we are fully open and welcoming custom work. so, shoot us an email [hello[at]duetletterpress.com] if you have something that you would like for us to work on! we’re itching to get rolling again!
have you seen what my friend kate has been working on? escort cards, menus, favor tags and more all cut from unconventional materials like wood and plastic. and totally customizable. you can purchase them here.

if you’re a louisiana native like me, then i’m sure you’ll get a kick out of these onesies from storyville. locally designed + screenprinted and a whole lot of awesome!
i just got back from target where i spotted these ball jars. sadly, i couldn’t find them on target’s website. [side note - am i the only one who wishes target's site was a little more, oh i don't know... better? this happens all the time. things in store aren't on their website. anywho...] they have this extra large gallon ball jar
these just made my day! striped onesies in 10 different colors. my favorite onesie on e is a tiny white + yellow striped onesie i tweeted here. it was a hand-me-down and i haven’t seen anything like it in stores. now, i can order one of these! i’m diggin’ the white and pink for sure. and if we had a boy, he’d be living in the black and gray one. | via a cup of jo
