Happy Monday everyone!  And thank you so much for your kind comments last week – you all truly helped cheer me up.  Also putting me in a good mood?  These stunning invitations from Bespoke Letterpress for a wedding on the Greek Islands later this spring.  That gorgeous shade of blue practically jumps right off the paper – I love it!
Sigh… so pretty! Â Check out more details over on the Bespoke Letterpress blog!

You know how some weeks are just harder than others?  This has been a tough week for me, with a to-do list that feels like it’s getting longer by the minute and a rapidly dwindling energy level.  I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, drained, and a little burned out – and on top of all of that, over the last few days I also managed to come down with a bit of a cold.  Not a good combination!  I’m hoping to recharge a bit this weekend and start fresh next week.  But in the meantime…
…a few links for your weekend:

Having just spent some time in coastal South Carolina this past weekend, I was delighted to see these low country wedding invitations pop into my inbox!  Dawn and Matthew were married a couple of summers ago on Kiawah Island, South Carolina.  Designer Christine Wisnieski created a simple and playful invitation that reflected the relaxed vibe of the wedding location.
From Christine:  I created this custom wedding invitation for two very close friends, Dawn and Matthew.  They wanted a suite of materials that were light-hearted and easy to use.  The solution was an accordion fold letterpress invitation card held together with a simple paper band.  The spirit of the invitation suite took inspiration from the laid-back style of South Carolina’s low-country.
I love the accordion fold layout – and such a pretty scallop border!  Thanks Christine!

Whew! Â Three days, five states, and more than 900 miles later I’m incredibly happy to be back at home in DC. Â I’m a wee bit tired from a long driving weekend, so I thought I would share a few photos from our road trip and some of my favorite links from last week before jumping back into the swing of things.
We stopped in the lovely and charming coastal town of Beaufort, South Carolina. Â Have any of you been there? Â We really enjoyed our time there!
And a few favorite links from last week!
I’ve got some gorgeous wedding invitations to share with you this morning, so check back soon!

Reena from 3 Bees Paperie sent over this peacock print that she created for a former wedding invitation client, Manisha, who was expecting her first daughter. Â Manisha loved the animated short film “Sita Sings the Blues” and wanted a peacock poster print for her daughter’s nursery, so Reena happily obliged. Â The bright colors and patterns are so perfect for a baby nursery!
Thanks Reena!
