{happy weekend}

Hi everyone!  I’m heading out a bit early to get a head start on some projects I’m working on for next week, including a super-fun collaboration that I can’t wait to tell you all about.  I’ve been noticing, as the days get shorter and shorter, I find myself trying to squeeze out every last drop of sunlight possible, making the weekends more and more precious.  Is the same thing happening for you?  Well, in the meantime…

Here are a few things that I’ve enjoyed this week:

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend – I’ll see you all back here next week!

Layered Envelope Wedding Invitations

Ever since seeing Cheree Berry’s Matryoshka doll-inspired save the dates over the summer, I’ve been kind of obsessed with the idea of wedding invitations that incorporate layered envelopes – giving the recipient the feeling of unwrapping a beautifully packaged gift.  These invitations from Erin Jang are a perfect example with the main invitation was enclosed in a small envelope placed on a letterpress card:

Indigo-bunting-fold-out-invitation-envelope-enclosure

I’m a big fan of the long, skinny layout of the main invitation – which complements the rest of the invitation suite in a really unique way.  And behind the fold-out invitation were a reception enclosure with perforated rsvp postcard and a map of the wedding location, both beautifully letterpress printed by Studio on Fire:

Lovely! You can read more about these invitations and see additional photos of these wedding invitations over at The Indigo Bunting.

Happy Weekend!

This week has been Operation Apple Recipe week for me – we've got tons of apples from our orchard excursion over the weekend and have been trying to put them to good use.  So far I've made soup and stuffing, but this weekend I'm planning to make individual serving apple pies and possibly an apple crisp if I don't put myself into a sugar coma first.  I do have photos from the apple orchard to share with you next week, and may share photos of my baking adventures depending on how things turn out, but in the meantime…

That's it for me this week!  I hope you all have a warm + cozy weekend, and I'll see you all back here on Monday!

Pink, Black + White Invitations

I’ve been loving the combination of pink, black and white lately – so when I came across these letterpress invitations from Two Paperdolls via Louella Court and then again via Marie Labbancz, I was instantly smitten with the color palette and typography details:

I also love the playful wording of the invitations – small details like that really allow the couple’s personality shine through and give guests an indication of the wedding to follow. Such fun invitations!  You can read more about these lovely invitations over at Louella Court.
