Oh So Beautiful Paper

Hi everyone!  I’m heading out a bit early to enjoy the long holiday weekend here in the U.S. and go to finally bring our cat (who as you might remember was in the animal hospital last week) back home where he belongs.  The poor guy didn’t get to come home last weekend as we’d hoped and ended up needing surgery, so we can’t wait to have him home.  As a result of his illness, we’ve also changed our plans and are now staying home for the holiday – our first Thanksgiving on our own!  It’ll actually be nice to have a quiet weekend and just be grateful for my little family.  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

• A fabulous round-up of advent calendar ideas
• I’m really looking forward to this new book about printing from Christine at Yellow Owl Workshop
• A beautiful calligraphy collaboration from Mara at Neither Snow
• Cool new postage stamps from Envelopments in fun colors and patterns
• These pumpkin tarts sound ridiculously yummy
• Super-cute printable napkin rings (just in time for holiday entertaining!)
• I love the idea of bougainveilla for a bridal bouquet!

…and in case you missed it, here’s what happened on OSBP this week:

• Cool modern black and white graduation invitations
• Watercolor + calligraphy wedding save the dates
• More lovely holiday cards
• Beautiful vintage-inspired tea party bridal shower invitations
• Long live print
• I’ve also been posting some upcoming holiday open houses, craft events, and sales in the right sidebar – like the Martha Stewart Craft Night below (which I’m actually hoping to attend) coming up next week.  I’ll keep adding them as they come to me, so don’t forget to check in for the latest additions!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and for those of you celebrating this weekend I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  I’ll see you all back here on Monday!

p.s. We’re taking advantage of the long weekend to do a server switch, so if things are a bit wonky over the weekend please bear with us.  Hopefully there won’t be any major disruptions, but just in case I promise it’s only temporary.

   I just have to say, I love the word ‘wonky’ and I wish more people used it.
