Baby Essentials: Baby Blankets
Just after Sophie was born, her great aunt gifted us with a handmade quilt. It was such a meaningful gesture and is still one of my most treasured baby gifts. We take the quilt with us to the park, use it to bundle her up during the winter, and I’m sure we’ll come up with a thousand other uses as Sophie gets older. Along the way, we’ve accumulated a few additional blankets – lighter blankets for summer, heavier knit blankets for winter – that will last us well through Sophie’s childhood. Today I thought I’d share a few of my favorites!

Jennifer + Eric’s Colorful Gold Foil Calligraphy Wedding Invitations
If you love bright, bold colors and shiny gold foil, you’ll love these wedding invitations! A collaboration between calligrapher Jenna Blazevich and designer/printer Margot Madison, the invitation suite features bright jewel tones paired with both gold foil and shiny metallic gold ink, a colorful floral envelope liner, and lots of pretty day-of stationery details!
From Jenna: This entirely hand-lettered custom wedding invitation suite was a collaboration between myself and Margot Madison for the wedding of Cincinnati event planner Jennifer Trokhan. Jennifer wanted to work with a collection of vibrant gem tones and subtle hits of gold and an occasional aubergine purple.
 
The wedding took place at the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati, and the color story which began with this rich invitation continued through the day-of stationery and accommodating table elements. For the envelope liner, Margot and I chose a print from Katrina Rocella’s Spoonflower shop.
The invitation itself features gold foil, and the effect of the deeply imprinted gold on the thick peacock stock turned out really special. I completed the envelope addressing, table numbers, place cards, and out-of-town guest cards by hand in my Julienne calligraphy style with gold ink.
The printed day-of stationery elements includes hand-lettered menus, programs, and thank-you tags for guest favors and were screen printed by local Cincinnati printer, Jon Flannery at Cryptogram, all in a gold metallic ink.
 
Thanks Jenna!
