Block Island invitation

So on our trip to Block Island, my husband takes a snapshot of a fudge sign painted on a building in the middle of town. I didn't think anything of it but when we got home and looked at all the photos, we had an idea. Pictued above is the invitation suite inspired by that photo. A 7" sqaure invitation with an outline of the island, a heart where the wedding would take place and a mixture of fonts evoking the "fudge" sign and the laid back feeling of the island. The woven fabric backing adds to the seaside rustic feel.

This invitation will soon be posted on the new site, but if you have any comments or questions, feel free to post!

Vacation

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Went on a much needed vacation, almost finished my fall collection, worked on a few more jobs and then designed a whole new web site. Now I really need a vacation again!

One of many day trips we took was to Block Island (off the coast of Rhode Island). A great place to relax and enjoy. And then I thought, "What a great place to have a wedding!" I know many do and I always manage to catch one when I visit on the weekend. Pictured above is one of many places to have a wedding, the Spring House Hotel. With a victorian feel and a great water view. I've been inside a few times but never for a wedding, just the martinis!

I was so inspired by this island, I decided to create a wedding invitation suite (coming soon). And it got me thinking, I know there are tons of places in the New England area to have a beautful wedding but I would love to hear from you about the ones that aren't necessarily known and truly inspiring, because if so, I might be inspired again and again! So please post your idea of a truly inspiring wedding site (under comments) and we'll have to go on some more day trips!

Vintage bike for two

Another new invitation just added to the growing fall collection. This invitation set is inspired by a drawing I found of a vintage bike for two. These are for couples who love vintage and the idea of saying "as we travel through life together".

New fall collection

Fall will soon be here! A great time to launch our new collections. We'll start off with the Kathy and Katrina Collections.

Both collections were inspired by a font I recently found that has an old world, handwritten quality. I combined the old world look with natural elements using small icons and deep colors. These invitations would be a wonderful compliment to any outdoor wedding. The invitations measure 5" x 5" and are accompanied by a 4Bar response card.

Vintage Collection

If you've checked out my website, you'll notice some preview buttons with "coming soon". I expected to update relatively quick but since I uploaded the web site back in April, I haven't had a chance to updated it since! Hence the birth of my blog because it's so unbelievable easy to post here. So, if you ever have any questions, please feel free to email or comment here.

So this goes out to Lauren who is curious about my Vintage Collection. Above are the three invitations that are original to the collection (see an upcoming post about the new fall collection which includes more vintage-like themes). These three invitations are actually inspired by vintage wallpaper (one of my favorite things) and is accompanied by corresponding response card with matching borders.

Twin baby announcement

My friend Kim just gave birth to the most adorable little twins. I couldn't resist designing an announcement for little Myles and Madelyn (and Mom loved it!). The announcement arrives tied with a sheer white ribbon and a cover card announcing their birth. When you untie, cards appear for each twin creating a card chain attached by ribbon which then can be hung as a momento.

Michelle's save the date

Tonight I've been working on Michelle's save the date sample. She loved Allison and Michael's save the dates and wanted the "tie the knot" theme for her Cape Cod wedding. She added her own touch, using navy blue as her primary color for a true nautical look and feel.
