Lindsay + Steve’s Hand Lettered Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m thrilled to be starting the week with these gorgeous hand lettered wedding invitations from Molly Jacques.  I love Molly’s whimsical calligraphy and illustration work, so it’s no surprise that she would produce such beautiful wedding invitations!  Molly collaborated with the bride, a former designer and art director, who provided the overall art direction and produced the invitation design.  Molly also provided hand lettering for the bride and groom’s wedding website.  Stunning!

From Molly: This invitation was inspired by my sketchbook drawings and was a collaboration between myself and the bride, Lindsay Keach.  Lindsay’s wedding will take place on a farm in Kentucky, so she really wanted a fun and illustrated feel to her wedding stationery.

The invitation suite and stationery was letterpress printed on white paper with gray and yellow inks.  Their wedding logo was also created into a return address stamp to use with their stationery.  Lindsay created the overall design aspects, including the belly band and textile pattern for the RSVP.

From Lindsay: Molly’s lettering is just amazing – it is exactly what I envisioned for our casual farm wedding, and she was willing to work with me to meet an incredibly tight deadline.  The blessing (and curse) of being a former designer is that I had a strong vision for our invitations and was able to create many of the supporting elements and produce the suite myself.  Molly’s handiwork really brought it all to life.  Our friend Rocket Caleshu at San Francisco Center for the Book lovingly letterpress printed everything on pillowy Holyoke paper.  The vintage Kentucky stamps, found on Etsy ages ago and squirreled away, were one of my favorite little touches.

Lindsay and Molly also worked together on Lindsay + Steve’s wedding website, which features Molly’s hand lettering, Lindsay’s design, and Jenifer Wofford‘s illustration of the couple.  The site was programmed by Max La Riviere-Hedrick from Futurpruf.

Pretty Paper in the Office: Notepads

As a rather obsessive list maker, I always make sure to stock up on notepads and I’m fairly certain I’m not the only one out there!  While looking for notepads for this month’s round up, I thought I would see if there were some alternatives as well.  One can go through a pad of paper pretty quickly at times, which also means a lot of paper.  So in addition to some noteworthy pads, there’s also a great DIY substitute which allows you to use whatever paper you’d like, and a paperless option!  This means you can even make lists of your lists if you wanted to!  – Julie

Stationery A – Z: Thinking of You Cards

It’s such a treat to find a hand addressed card amongst the pile of bills and catalogs in your daily mail.  Even better: when someone sends you a card for no other reason than they happened to be thinking of you!  These cards aren’t prompted by a particular occasion, such as birthdays or holidays; some are blank, some are stitched, some sans-text, but all will have you picking up the phone to reconnect or even meet up … in person!  — Tashia

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s been a little over a week with our newest foster kitten and thankfully she’s already feeling much better.  She’s so ridiculously cute and playful, but like most cats spends most of her day sleeping on the couch.  Oh, to be a house cat…  She’ll be available for adoption soon, so if anyone in the DC/VA/MD area is interested in adopting an incredibly sweet 6-month old kitten, please get in touch!  But in the meantime…

Stationery A – Z: Sympathy Cards

We all like to celebrate the happy occasions in life, but every now and then our friends and loved ones need compassion and sympathy during troubled times.  Sometimes a beautiful image, tried-true quote, or hanging sloth can help comfort or bring a smile on dark days.  These sympathy cards are matched in their message with the quality of which they’re made.  If there is any time to send a thoughtful card, this would be it.  — Tashia
