{happy weekend!}

I apologize to those of you who might be tired of hearing me blather on about spring in DC, but it really is just so beautiful this time of year I can’t help it!  My husband and I went for a walk in our neighborhood yesterday evening and I spotted some lilacs just starting to bloom, and earlier in the day I spotted some wisteria!  It’s early in the season for a lot of these flowers, but apparently everything is going to be early this year due to the relatively mild winter and I’m not exactly complaining.  I’m just trying to soak as much of it in while it lasts.  One of my favorite things to do during lilac season is to visit the Mount Vernon estate; it’s covered in the gorgeous (and fragrant) blossoms!  I’ll have to plan a trip soon, but in the meantime…

Gray + Yellow Folk Art Baby Shower Invitations

I recently stumbled across these adorable letterpress baby shower invitations from Moglea and couldn’t resist sharing them here on OSBP.  Meg from Moglea created and letterpress printed the two-color design, pairing the invitations with gray envelopes and patterned envelope liners.  I love the folk art vibe of the animal and floral illustrations, not to mention the yellow and gray color palette (still one of my favorites).

Brady’s Silhouette + Bow Tie First Birthday Party Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week off with some adorable invitations for a first birthday party!  Designer Emily Ley sent over the fun images of the invitations for her baby boy Brady’s birthday party, created by Amber of Pitbulls and Posies along with the help of a few other friends.  The silhouette and bow tie concept is just too cute – read below for the full details!

From Emily: Brady’s first birthday party was so much fun. We decided we wanted it to be sweet and young and classic… so we chose a “Southern Picnic” theme and used bow ties to tie the entire affair together.  I knew I wanted the invitations to be tactile and to be Southern and sweet and with the personality of a playful little boy.  I emailed my dear friend Amber Moon, of Pitbulls and Posies, and she went right to work and together we conceptualized the most adorable invitations I’ve honestly ever seen.

I took a photo of Brady and sent it to Amber, she traced his sweet little head and created these little wooden silhouettes which she then screen printed with the party information we designed together.  She also designed and created box liners to hold the sweet little silhouette.

Meanwhile, my friend McKay of Oatmeal Lace Designs designed and created bows and bow ties for all of Brady’s little friends.  The invitation read “On your neck or in your hair, kindly wear this bow and we’ll see you there!”

Thanks so much Emily!

Happy Friday everyone!  Spring is most definitely in the air here in DC – the sun is shining, the daffodils are blooming, trees and plants are starting to come back to life, and before I know it the cherry blossoms and magnolias will be here!  I can’t wait.  But in the meantime…

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s a gorgeous day here in DC – it has me so excited for spring to arrive in a few weeks!  And after a long week, I’m also grateful for the long President’s Day weekend.   I’m looking forward to walking around our neighborhood, which is just so much more pleasant when the sun is out and shining!  But in the meantime…
