{happy weekend!}

I apologize to those of you who might be tired of hearing me blather on about spring in DC, but it really is just so beautiful this time of year I can’t help it!  My husband and I went for a walk in our neighborhood yesterday evening and I spotted some lilacs just starting to bloom, and earlier in the day I spotted some wisteria!  It’s early in the season for a lot of these flowers, but apparently everything is going to be early this year due to the relatively mild winter and I’m not exactly complaining.  I’m just trying to soak as much of it in while it lasts.  One of my favorite things to do during lilac season is to visit the Mount Vernon estate; it’s covered in the gorgeous (and fragrant) blossoms!  I’ll have to plan a trip soon, but in the meantime…

Gray + Yellow Folk Art Baby Shower Invitations

I recently stumbled across these adorable letterpress baby shower invitations from Moglea and couldn’t resist sharing them here on OSBP.  Meg from Moglea created and letterpress printed the two-color design, pairing the invitations with gray envelopes and patterned envelope liners.  I love the folk art vibe of the animal and floral illustrations, not to mention the yellow and gray color palette (still one of my favorites).

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s a gorgeous day here in DC – it has me so excited for spring to arrive in a few weeks!  And after a long week, I’m also grateful for the long President’s Day weekend.   I’m looking forward to walking around our neighborhood, which is just so much more pleasant when the sun is out and shining!  But in the meantime…

Wow, Friday already?!  Although this week has mostly flown by, I’ve been feeling a little run down and uninspired these last few days, so I’m looking forward to a mostly quiet weekend.  And while we’ve had the mildest winter I’ve ever experienced in DC, I can’t wait for spring.  Spring in DC is such an inspiring time of year with all of the cherry blossoms, daffodils, and my favorite – lilacs.  Sigh.  But in the meantime…

Red + Aqua Baby Shower Invitations for Baby Bennett

Today is going to be all about baby stationery, with a couple of fun baby stationery suites from Greg Bennett of Work to Date.  Greg and his wife welcomed a baby boy last fall, and Greg worked with the talented team at Gilah Press to letterpress print baby shower invitations and announcements.  First up, Greg is sharing the red and aqua invitations that he designed for his wife’s baby shower over the summer!

I love the unexpected combination of a sweet whale illustration with a greek key border – not to mention the beautiful knockout text for the invitation details!

Thanks Greg!  Check back a bit later for baby Bennett’s birth announcements!
