Louise’s Turquoise Hand Lettered Baby Announcements

I’m constantly in awe of the amazing talent of Liz from Linda & Harriett. Her large scale quilt calendar is a completely stunning work of art (and currently on sale right now for an absolute steal!), and her stationery designs feature vibrant color palettes along with her signature hand lettering and illustrations. Liz welcomed her second child earlier this year, a beautiful baby girl named Louise, and I’m beyond thrilled to share Louise’s baby announcements today!

The announcements were letterpress printed in turquoise ink on 200 lb 100% cotton paper. Liz hand lettered Louise’s name across the top, and a photo was cut to size and attached to each announcement. The envelope return address was also hand lettered by Liz and letterpress printed in the same turquoise ink. I love that the announcement is worded from the perspective of Louise’s big brother, Griffin – such a wonderful way to involve an older sibling!

Liz no longer offers custom social stationery, but you can find Linda & Harriett collections on Minted and Paperless Post (also available in printed versions)! Liz also tells me that she’s currently working on a baby collection for Paperless Post that will be available this summer. Thanks Liz!

{happy weekend!}

This week has been full of some amazing highs and lows. I’m so excited to be in our new place, but mostly these days I’m just feeling really tired. Exhausted from moving. Worn out from the challenge of mothering a teething baby. Struggling to maintain the energy to keep up with everything happening around me. Burned out from the self-imposed pressure of trying to do too much for too long. One of my goals for 2013 was to take a step back from the daily hustle and instead focus on improving my family’s quality of life. So over the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to slow down, focus on getting our new digs in order, and recharge. I’ll still be here, just maybe a little less often while we settle in at the new house. I hope that’s okay with all of you. But in the meantime…

Sadly, we didn’t have time to put together a cocktail post for you with our big move, so that’s it for me this week! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday! xoxo

You guys! Today is the big day! We’re off to meet with our agent for the closing, and after that we’ll officially be homeowners! And between the craziness of packing, some last minute shenanigans from the title company (ugh), and a million other things, I’m kind of amazed that we got through this week at all. We have just a couple more days of packing left, then we move in on Monday! Luckily my in-laws are coming down to help this weekend, followed by my dad early next week. Wish us luck with the move – we’ll definitely need it! But in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

Whew! From a less-than-24-hour trip to New York on Tuesday (more on that next week) to a photo shoot yesterday for a special upcoming project, not to mention preparing for our big move in less than two weeks, it’s been a whirlwind of a week! Also, Sophie turned SIX MONTHS OLD! I can’t believe how fast her first year is flying by, and right now we’re just trying to soak up every second. This weekend will be filled with packing, packing, and more packing, but we’re also hoping to enjoy some of the wonderful spring weather that has been peeking through lately. But in the meantime…
