I'm literally always on the hunt for fantastic birthday cards — I seem to use them just as quickly as I can purchase them! These letterpress birthday cards from Ink and Iron are some of the cutest I've seen recently:
I totally adore these cards for a child's birthday:
And, slightly off topic, how charming are these anniversary cards?
All these and more in the Ink and Iron shop.

Happy Earth Day everyone! So in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, I thought I’d share these beautiful garden party wedding invitations from Paisley Quill, letterpress printed on beautiful (and eco-friendly) 100% cotton paper:
I’m absolutely loving these soft pink colors for spring – from the rose-colored ink on the main wedding invitation to the pale pink invitation backing and envelopes. Soft and elegant, and of course incredibly pretty.

I love pretty much everything the ladies of Bird and Banner create. Â And as if we needed any more proof that Erin and Nicole are complete creative geniuses, check out these awesome watercolor bicycle wedding invitations that they created for a wedding last year:
I absolutely adore the charming hand-lettering on the main invitation — not to mention the gorgeous vintage map enclosure.  Bird and Banner also created the escort cards, which you can see right here!

I’m feeling a bit bummed out this afternoon – my husband left yesterday on an extended work trip and I miss him already! To help the next few pass by more quickly, my plan is to jump right back into our apartment organization/decorating process and try to get as much done before he comes home. Items on my list include painting, hanging a few shelves, getting rid of old and unnecessary paper files, and finally hanging the rest of our prints and photographs around the apartment.

I love the idea of just taping small prints (using japanese washi tape) directly to the wall as a rotating inspiration board. Sadly we don’t have a mantle in our place, but I wish we did so I could balance some of our favorites along the top!
There’s one other thing that is helping to cheer me up – a new giveaway from one of my favorite wedding invitation studios! You’ll have to check back tomorrow morning for the details… but I can’t wait to share the surprise with you!
