Winged Wheel

I can’t think of a better way to start off the morning than with beautiful stationery from Winged Wheel in Tokyo, Japan.  From elegant wedding invitations to softly patterned stationery to animal note cards and floral business cards, I’m having a really hard time picking just one favorite!

I just can’t stop staring at the wedding invitations with traditional Japanese floral paper – or the soft letterpress details (on cotton paper produced at the foot of Mount Fuji, no less) on the calling cards.  All available over on Winged Wheel.  Thanks Rumi!

Giveaway Winners!

It was so wonderful to host two fantastic giveaways last week – and I’m even more thrilled to finally announce the winners!  Both winners were selected randomly using random.org, and the two lucky readers are…

Yay!  Laurel chose the “Ava” design from Gwyneth Paige for her calling cards, and Greg chose the “Tahoe” invitation suite from Hello!Lucky for his December 2010 wedding right here in DC!  A big congratulations to both Laurel and Greg – and a huge thank you to both everyone who entered the contest and to Gwyneth Paige and Hello!Lucky for sponsoring these two giveaways!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I’m anxious to get a start on the weekend, particularly since I get to hang out with this awesome lady (and amazingly talented writer) tonight!  Other than that, I’m looking forward to a relaxed, lazy weekend and escaping this swealtering summer heat.  Hmmm… maybe strawberry lemonade with some of my remaining strawberry supply?  Anyway, I’ll be back next week with Father’s Day cards and lots, lots more!  But in the meantime…
