{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! Â I got a wee bit of a head start on the weekend last night, when I went with this awesome lady to go see Mumford & Sons. Â It was my third time seeing them live and they put on an awesome show, so definitely worth being a bit more on the tired side today. Â Now I’m really anxious to get a move on the weekend, but in the meantime…

Modern + Floral Custom Social Stationery

After sharing our moving announcements yesterday, I’m still on an orangey-red and turquoise kick â€“ such a fun color combination for summer! Â Megan fromÂ Toast and Laurel recently created beautiful custom letterpress stationery for a client, featuring a sweet floral design detail and bright envelope liners. Â With stationery as pretty as this, I’d want to send letters to everyone I know!

From Megan: Â My lovely client asked for an elegant yet whimsical design that incorporated her initial, some sort of floral detail, a feminine font, and a bright color palette of orange and blue. Â The end result is a stylish, simple stationery suite… one of my absolute favorite designs!

The flat note cards were letterpress printed with two inks on Crane’s Lettra Pearl White cardstock & the envelopes are custom lined with a bright orange solid paper from French Paper Company. Â The back of the envelope features a coordinating return address letterpress printed in blue.

So pretty! Â Thanks Megan!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! Â This week practically flew by (as is often the case after a holiday weekend), but I’m looking forward to the weekend â€“ even though painting my bedroom is the most exciting thing I have planned. Â I’m trying to check some home projects off my to do list before my husband comes home in a couple of months, and although painting is tedious work I’m looking forward to a bit of change. Â But in the meantime…
