{antique calling cards}

Luzel from iDIY found this fabulous flickr set comprised entirely of antique business and calling cards, which she was kind enough to send to me and I'm now sharing with the rest of you!  I love the way calligraphy plays a role in many of the designs:

{letterpress print – Sycamore Street Press}

I love this limited edition letterpress print from Sycamore Street Press:

The print was inspired by blue and white dishes from Delft and Royal Copenhagen, as well as the
intricate detail and beautiful landscapes of Indian manuscript painting.  I love the way the line of yellow stitching provides the perfect accent for the blue and white designs:

Check out this print and lots more from Sycamore Street Press in their etsy store right here.  I really love all the limited edition prints that have been coming out of Sycamore Street Press lately – you should definitely check out Eva's blog for new projects and giveaway opportunities!

Spring Floral Inspiration

As I walked home from work yesterday, I noticed that the peonies started blooming while I was away over the weekend.  I can’t wait to scoop up a few stems at the farmer’s market this weekend, but in the meantime thought I’d post a few of my recent favorite floral images:

{white lilacs via The Bride’s Cafe}

Oh, how I love spring!
