we wanted to share with you recent business cards that we designed + letterpress printed for lauren of every last detail. the back has a faux blind impression. in order to actually see the beautiful damask pattern, we used a very, very pale gray ink. using a touch of color visually separates the pattern from the background. we love how these turned out and really enjoyed working with lauren.
whew, what a weekend! our good friends threw us a couples baby shower saturday and it was so lovely! see those cupcakes? those are handmade little fondant booties on top. so cute. this weekend was also filled with mardi gras celebration and fun + valentine’s day.
how was your weekend? do anything fun and exciting? or simply romantic and love filled?
we’re off a bit early today to get a jump start on the weekend. lots of celebrating and excitement all around. a baby-to-be, mardi gras + valentine’s day.
hope you have a lovely + heart-filled weekend! | image via ffffound
my good friend in d.c. sent over these pictures of his neighborhood covered in snow. these were taken a couple of days ago after some areas got 25 inches. i’m pretty sure they’ve gotten more since then. in the last picture, those humps are actually cars buried under snow.
being a southerner, i’ve really never seen snow. especially snow like this. i remember once when i was probably 5 years old we had snow flurries during the night, but by the time i woke up, it was nearly all gone. my sweet grandmother had gone out and made a miniature snowman and stuck it in the freezer so that i could see it when i woke up. i remember taking a picture with it and i was all bundled up my thick pink jacket and rubber boots. boy, i can’t imagine living in a place that sees snow every year.
especially blizzards like this!
have you seen these cupcake kits from meri meri? such an easy + super cute way to pull together an instant party. | via at home with kim vallée
this morning i headed to the post office to drop off these valentine goodies. this is the third year i’ve participated in weddingbee’s valentine’s day swap, and i had such fun putting these together. i used our sweet letterpress card, some twine, glassine envelopes filled with heart shaped red hots and packaged it all up in kraft boxes.
ps - today’s the last day to order your valentine’s day card. we’ve only got a few left + we’re still offering free domestic shipping!
want to see what’s been poking + jabbing me these last few weeks? these little hands + feet. plus knees and elbows, i’m sure. she’s quite an active little girl!
do you have any fun weekend plans? kacey and i plan to clear out our guest bedroom to make room for a new crib for baby duet. plus we’re visiting his parents. and probably watching some football. or make that they’ll watch football while i occupy myself in some other way. who’s not a football fan? that would be me.
hope you have a fabulous weekend!
do you heart free shipping? we do. so, we’re offering free domestic shipping on our sweet valentine’s day card. and yes, there’s still time to get it in before heart day :]
i think these polka dot dresses from kate spade are perfection. absolute perfection.
loving the circus theme in the upcoming anthropologie catalog. not your typical bright and bold circus, but a more subdued + vintage carnival theme.
in the baby world, this and this
first, the puj tub
second, the joyababy diaper clutch. it’s an eco-friendly clutch that holds a few diaper and wipes. plus, there’s a machine washable changing mat inside. seems perfect to throw inside a diaper bag or carry independently. and it’s cute.
these beautiful handmade rosette sashes caught my eye today. they’re fashioned out of silk dupioni and embellished with pearls, vintage rhinestones and glass beads. so, so lovely.
thanks for all of the sweet comments on the color palette we’re considering for the nursery. i think we’re leaning more and more towards it!
