Seasonal Stationery: 2013 Calendars, Part 5

This year is quickly coming to a close, and if you’re like me you’re looking forward to hanging your 2013 calendar(s) on January 1st! I always think of calendars as half form + function and half artwork to display around the home, and it’s amazing how a new desk or wall calendar can freshen up the corner of a room. Here’s a little peek at some of the newest additions to the 2013 calendar round up!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! We’re hoping to get our Christmas tree this weekend, and I can’t wait to see Sophie’s reaction to all the twinkling lights and ornaments! Decorating the tree is my very favorite holiday tradition, one that I can’t wait to share with Sophie once she’s a bit older. I’m also taking bets as to which of our cats will be the first to climb (and get stuck in) the tree. Ah, the holidays! But in the meantime…

Calligraphy Wedding Invitation Collection from Hazel Wonderland

We had the pleasure of featuring Meredith from Hazel Wonderland in our monthly calligraphy column back in September, so I was thrilled when Meredith sent over her latest wedding invitation collection! The collection is inspired by nature and the concept of inner beauty – the perfect complements for Meredith’s lovely calligraphy.

From Meredith: I wanted to capture the concepts of true love, inner beauty, and passion from within in these designs. Inspired by nature, travel, and beauty, the wedding collection features a natural palette, earth friendly materials, watercolor, and calligraphy.

{happy weekend – and a quick update}

Happy Friday everyone!  I was already excited for this weekend – our baby shower is on Sunday and I’m really looking forward to seeing our friends and family members coming to town to help celebrate.  And remember last week, when I said that it looked like the baby might be coming a bit earlier than expected?  Well, next week is the big week!  I have a bunch of fun posts ready for you all for next week – including an AWESOME giveaway coming up on Monday that you definitely won’t want to miss – followed by some fantastic guest bloggers who will be helping to fill in while I’m away getting to know our little one for a few weeks.  But in the meantime…

Calligraphy Inspiration: Hazel Wonderland

I’m really excited to share the work of this month’s calligrapher. I first saw her work via Instagram, which lead me to her website. Her work resonated with me as I kept coming back. I’m talking about the work of Meredith C. Bullock of Hazel Wonderland. Her first commissioned calligraphy job was at the young age of 16; not to say she’s old, but she’s been doing this for a while, and it shows! She’s definitely a person who adores making weddings beautiful, as she also operates The Brides Hairstylist. On top of that, Meredith is talented artist. (Peeks of her work are available on Instagram.) It’s as clear as day that her artistry transfers to her calligraphy, as well. – Julie

Hazel Wonderland kraft invitation suite

I adore this suite of kraft, white, and blue. It has the warmth of wood in autumn with the cool tones of a dark winter’s night. Perfect for weddings of those seasons.

The ebb and flow of her lines floor me. I get lost following them to and fro. I’m not sure how something can be so elegant and laid back at the same time, but it’s a feeling she’s achieved with ease in her work.

She’s giving everyone a thank you for their patience and offering 20% off your entire purchase upon reopening this Saturday! To redeem, use coupon code “EXHIBIT” at checkout after Sept 8, 2012. It’s a limited time offer so I suggest you take advantage. To view some of her items in the meantime, simply visit her Pinterest board.
