Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! We’re looking forward to a low-key celebration of Sophie’s 2nd birthday this weekend. We decided not to do a party this year, since little brother or sister could arrive at any moment (which makes party planning a bit difficult!) – and even though Sophie is still pretty clueless when it comes to the concept of a birthday party, we plan to do something small at home. There will definitely be cake involved! But in the meantime…

NYNOW Summer 2014, Part 2

Even though I wasn’t able to attend NYNOW Summer 2014, I definitely tried to walk the show vicariously via photos and Instagram! Samantha & Whitney shared their favorite finds earlier today, but I thought I’d also share a few of the booths that I really really wish I’d been able to cover in person. First up – Etsy Wholesale! I was so bummed to miss their inaugural pavilion with 24 amazing designers, from lighting to ceramics to textiles. Everyone I’ve spoken with who attended the show said that the pavilion looked amazing and the designers all brought wonderful products. And seriously – how awesome is that pegboard display?? I hope they do this again at the Winter 2015 show!

The Crow & Canary booth is always a highlight of my tradeshow experience – and with new goodies from Red Cap Cards, The Great Lakes Goods, and more on display and more I was even more bummed not to see it in person!

After sitting out the most recent Stationery Show with her new baby, Laura from Fisk & Fern was back in force at NYNOW! So many cute new cards and tea towels.

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s my birthday today – I’m 33! – and while I’m excited to celebrate another birthday, I’m truthfully more excited to enjoy these final few weeks as a family of three. We had a bit of an early labor scare over the Labor Day weekend, which thankfully turned out to just be a false alarm (at just under 36 weeks), but it made us realize this baby could decide to appear very soon! So now we’re focused on making our final preparations and tying up any loose ends – all while giving Sophie some pre-baby love and attention. But in the meantime…

Autumn’s Hermès-Inspired Baby Announcements

When Melissa from Atheneum Creative was asked to create a birth announcement inspired by the luxury brand Hermès, she was up for the challenge! Melissa drew her inspiration from the brand’s iconic boxes, creating a layered baby announcement tied together with custom ribbon and mailed in kraft paper envelopes to evoke shipping boxes. So cute!

From Melissa: When Autumn’s parents called and asked for Hermès-inspired baby announcements for their daughter we were super excited… I love a new challenge! We based the whole announcement design around the signature Hermès boxes.

The announcement features three separate pieces. First things first, the logo. We re-imagined the classic Hermès logo to be a baby carriage. This first card in the set represents the top of the signature Hermès box. The second card contains Autumn’s birth details and represents the inside bottom of the signature boxes. Of course we had to squeeze a photo “in the box” (between the two cards) as this little angel is a gift her her parents.

The wrap it all up we created a custom ribbon with the baby’s name. The entire suite was mailed in a kraft paper envelope addressed with a whimsical calligraphy style by Jenna Blazevich.

Party Paper: A Modern Circus Party

I had red and white stripes on the brain today which, when paired with peanuts, elephants and pom poms… turns perfectly into a modern circus party! This is a fun and simple take on a classic party theme that can span so many ages, from baby’s first birthday on up! —Kelly
