{happy weekend – and a quick update}

Happy Friday everyone!  I was already excited for this weekend – our baby shower is on Sunday and I’m really looking forward to seeing our friends and family members coming to town to help celebrate.  And remember last week, when I said that it looked like the baby might be coming a bit earlier than expected?  Well, next week is the big week!  I have a bunch of fun posts ready for you all for next week – including an AWESOME giveaway coming up on Monday that you definitely won’t want to miss – followed by some fantastic guest bloggers who will be helping to fill in while I’m away getting to know our little one for a few weeks.  But in the meantime…

Stationery A – Z: Pet Sympathy Cards

Losing a pet is nothing short of losing a family member. Often raised from their first pounce, gallop, or tear through the yard, we watch them grow old through the years loyally by our side. Each day was once filled with small moments of simple, unconditional love, has now become a very, very large hole to be filled. Whether cat, dog, bird or rabbit, indisputably they are our best friends and closest confidants. These cards capture the uncomplicated love of our pets and can hopefully lift an empty heart. — Tashia

{happy weekend!}

This has been quite a whirlwind of a week and a long weekend is just what I need to help recover.  My husband and I are approaching the last phase of our first pregnancy, and earlier this week we found out that our baby will be making a slightly earlier entrance than originally expected – possibly in just a couple of weeks!  To be honest, I’m both a little freaked out by our new accelerated timeframe, worried about making sure that our baby stays healthy, and excited to finally meet this little person!  But in the meantime…

Sneak Peek – Martha Stewart Weddings Fall 2012 Issue!

Oh my, this summer has just flown by – and fall is just right around the corner!  And with the changing season comes a new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings!  I’m super excited to see all the beautiful stationery featured in the Fall 2012 issue, and today I have a fun sneak peek to share with you!

For the Fall 2012 issue, the stationery focus is all about reflecting a couple’s personal style – whether traditionalist, modern, or anything in between. The stationery feature includes five invitation suites with fun typography, color combinations, and unique design elements.  And of course the editors have chosen some of my favorite stationers for this feature, including Mrs. John L. Strong, Stripe & Field, Paper + Cup, MaeMae Paperie, and Ladyfingers Letterpress!

Keep an eye out for the new issue on newsstands soon!

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Black + White Stripes

I can talk about stationery trends and punchy color palettes all day long, but there’s something about simple black and white that always has me coming back for more. Black and white stripes, in this case. They can be bold and modern, making a statement on your wedding menu, or they can blend seamlessly into your classic, chic ceremony as a simple thin border on your programs. I don’t think I could pick a side on that battle, which is why I’ve rounded up the pattern in both forms today: large and in charge and sweet and demure. Which team are you on!? — Kelly
