Eight Hour Day

My husband and I are still settling into our new apartment (all the more slowly since most of our work is done over weekends), and now we're in the phase of hanging up our artwork around the house.  I'm always looking to add new prints to our collection, and lately I've had my eye on these prints by Katie Kirk from Eight Hour Day:

Eight-hour-day-office-letterpress-print
Eight-hour-day-green-folk-print
Eight-hour-day-baby-screen-print

I'm thinking of the bottom print for some friends that will be welcoming a baby boy next month (it's also available in pink).  Check out the full eight hour day collection right here!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I'm looking forward to some family time this weekend, and to hopefully wrapping up a couple of projects I feel like I've been working on forever.  I'm not looking forward to all the rain we're supposed to be getting here on the East Coast this weekend, but I suppose that's to be expected this month (and I'm definitely glad that it's raining instead of snowing!).  But in the meantime…

That does it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you here again on Monday!

Egg Press Baby Announcements

Two of my closest friends are expecting their first child in a couple of months, and I'm so excited for them that I can't really help but have baby stationery on my own brain these days!  I'm so excited to see that Egg Press just released a new line of letterpress baby announcements, with a range of styles that can each be customized with different animal, pattern, format or color options:

Egg-Press-Letterpress-Bird-Baby-Announcements{baby bird}

Egg-Press-Modern-Baby-Announcements{sweet pattern}

Egg-Press-Modern-Animal-Baby-Announcements{baby animals}

Egg-Press-Blue-Pink-Scallop-Baby-Announcements{scallop edge}

Each style is equally adorable, although I'm partial to the pattern designs.  Check out the full collection right here!

Pink + Yellow Elephant Baby Announcements

I've been saving these sunny and happy birth announcements all week — the joyful pink and yellow color palette seems like a perfect fit for a Friday morning!  Richele from Richie Design created these two-color letterpress birth announcements, with a space on the left where the new parents could include a photo:

I particularly love the pink baby elephant surrounded by hearts:

Pink-yellow-baby-announcement-digital-mock-up

So cute!  Richele has a bunch of other baby announcements and wedding invitations on her blog, and you can find her stationery and note cards in her etsy shop!
