Library Card Menus

Coming soon to my little shop (along with my new line of invitations!) are these sweet little custom menu cards, which were recently featured over at Seattle Bride Magazine. I just go weak at the knees for vintage touches at any event, what a perfect way to go vintage, library cards. These letterpress cards are just adorable. The menu was stamped on with a custom rubber stamp, calligraphied with the bride and groom’s names and then tied off with a little twine! I just love small little vintage touches like this, they are unexpected details that guests love! If you are interested in these cards for your event let’s talk!

style me pretty love

Earlier this week I was featured on Style Me Pretty with some of my lovely friends. I was over the moon with every detail of this inspiration shoot, shot at Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm. It was shot by my incredibly talented friend Chantal Andrea, seriously her photography eye is amazing. It was styled and all the floral was done by my new sweet, lovely, talented friend Rachel from Finch and Thistle Events, if you are looking for a florist/event stylist book her, I would unreservedly trust her with my wedding…(and that’s saying a lot)… The food was provided by a local Seattle favorite Ravishing Radish and yes, it was as yummy as it looks. The makeup (and model styling) by Jenny Bowker was also so beautiful. What a fun day with some talented professionals….

And of course all the paper goods were designed by me. I was finally able to properly showcase the beautiful white calligraphy I have been playing around with. Also, I love the details like the plaid on the back of all the paper pieces…it’s those small details that are so important. Check out some more of my work from the shoot below. Like what you see? Contact me, I would love to chat with you about your project!

free downloadable hand lettered Thanksgiving Cards

Hello all! With all this Christmas madness going on right now, I thought that I would take the time to remember that Thanksgiving is almost here. What a perfect time to reflect on our our blessings. The Lord has blessed us with so much and so often we have to cut through all the noise to sit down and reflect on all he’s done for us. I thought that this year I would send out little cards to people to let them know what a blessing they are to me and what a huge part of my life they are. In our home we are trying to delay the Christmas craziness (don’t get me wrong, we love Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth) until after Thanksgiving, by using this time to enjoy and reflect on all the blessings around us.

So in honor of Thanksgiving I thought I would make my thankful cards available as a free download! Send  them to friends (the cards will fit into 4 BAR Envelopes or 3 5/8 x 5 1/8, available here), use them as part of your place setting at your Thanksgiving table, hand them out to your neighbors and co-workers…whatever yo use them for, I would love to hear all about it! They are so simple to just click on the link below, print the pdf, cut the cards out and you’re done!
