{happy weekend!}

This week was a flurry of activity, both at home with our never-ending to do list (we’re still unpacking a month after moving in), a very active getting-ready-to-crawl baby, and a ton of prep work in advance of the National Stationery Show in just a few short weeks! I’m so excited to head back to one of my favorite cities and see some of my favorite people, and yes, of course Sophie will be coming along! Thankfully my dad is coming down this weekend to help us get a few things done around the house. But in the meantime…

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! I know it’s still snowing in some parts of the country (sorry folks), but here in DC spring is in full effect – the cherry blossoms are finally blooming and the sun is shining! We still have so much work to do to get the inside of our house in order, but the gorgeous weather makes me want to get outside and start working on our small garden. I hope you all have fun plans and wish you gorgeous weather this weekend! But in the meantime…

Quick Pick: Moglea

The beautiful stationery from Meg of Moglea was one of my favorites from last year’s National Stationery Show – from her letterpress letter sets to calendars to greeting cards. I can’t wait to see what Meg does for this year’s show! I love the combination of hand lettering, illustration, and vibrant ink colors. Meg also creates some incredibly beautiful patterns – just look at those envelope liners!

Emma + David’s Beach Inspired Destination Wedding Invitations

We’re definitely starting to see real signs of spring here in DC, but just a few weeks ago I would have given just about anything for a tropical beach vacation! Sara from Inkprint Letterpress created these invitations and day-of stationery for a December destination wedding in Costa Rica. I’m loving the coral and turquoise color palette and all the beach-inspired design elements!

From Sara: Working with Emma and David was an amazing experience. Emma and David were married in Costa Rica. Emma is the sweetest, most laid back bride I have ever met: she knew her style and what she wanted but was also open to ideas and input! They already had a map created by The Wandering Whale that they wanted to incorporate in the suite, and they knew they wanted to include the teal and coral with some abstract beach designs.

When they visited Costa Rica prior to the wedding, they realized the colors were much more vibrant there, so they asked me to make the coral more intense for the day of stationery. They also wanted me to incorporate a coral motif, which was present on pillows they used as decoration.
