Wedding Invitations — Smashing Cards
02/02/2009Over the weekend, I received an e-mail from Ashley at Smashing Cards letting me know about her new line of semi-custom wedding invitations. Here’s what Ashley said: For the past five years, Smashing Cards has been solely focused on fully-custom (bespoke) wedding invitations and related stationery items. This week we are launching our very first semi-custom line of letterpress wedding invitations. We’ve created five unique designs that clients can customize to their specifications by choosing the cardstock and ink colors as well as the specific components that they need.
Ashley was also kind enough to send over photos of the new designs:
{jonquil}
{sweet pea}
{english rose}
{violet}
{hyacinth}

More lovely valentines… Satsuma Press
01/31/2009Satsuma Press is one of my favorite letterpress studios (Lynn's calendar was one of my favorites for 2009 – there are still a couple left here!}, so it's no surprise that her Valentine's Day cards are also some of my favorites:
The Valentine's Day set includes two panoramic A6 cards with envelopes and a 5×7 print, and can be purchased as a full set or separately. Both the cards and print feature delicate feathers first drawn and then letterpress printed by Lynn
in peacock blue ink with the words 'birds of a feather … flock
together.' All available right here.
More lovely valentines… Ice Cream Social
01/30/2009A couple more Valentine's Day cards to share with you, this time from Ice Cream Social:
All available for purchase right here.
Getting Married? Congratulations!
01/30/2009I'm always on the hunt for a great "congratulations" cards to give to friends, whether they're getting married or just got a new job. These cards from Pearl & Marmalade and Smock Paper are a couple of my recent favorites:
Today I love…
01/30/2009A little Friday morning inspiration to start off the day:

{kitchen table photo from Domino – sigh – via sfgirlbybay}
I still have kitchens on the brain – mostly since my current kitchen is my least favorite room in our apartment. I'm loving the idea of a kitchen table with drawers for placemats and silverware – a great idea, particularly for my small, storage-challenged apartment. This table seems to be a repurposed desk, which depending on the size could still function as a dining table.
I've been slowly collecting and archiving my favorite images via tumblr – if you're interested in seeing more, you can visit my tumblr site here.
