A few of our favorite things - Les Cartes Postales
We're seriously swooning over these très romantique vintage postcards! Haute Papier's Vintage Postcard save-the-dates have been quite the couture item the past few years. It's always inspiring to see the images that our brides and grooms bring in to get their guests excited for their wedding. We're still waiting for a couple to order a wonderfully old image of Paris. In the meantime ... on peut rêver.
A First Birthday!
Oh what fun, our little Miss Etta Marie turned one! This meant one thing – it was time to party!
Her soiree was a “Pizza, Pops & Playtime” theme and we put a ton of work into the details! We decided to use two of Smock's wonderful papers from their Everday line which can be found at Haute Papier Leesburg. The purple and red of the Flounce and Quadrille flat papers really captured the playful look we were going for. We designed the invitations to include a hand-cut one and coordinating liner.
We used the four designs for paper decorations throughout the house. Our favorite touch? The delicate sewn circle garland strung throughout. Of course, the refreshments fit the theme.
Did you know there were so many foods with the word pop in them? Popcorn, pop rocks, pop chips, cake pops and the list goes on and on! Overall it was a truly adorable event and fun was had by all. Happy Birthday to Etta Marie!
The Sketchbook Project!
We love The Sketchbook Project created by the boys at Art House Co-op! It features sketchbooks created especially for the project by people all over the world. The best part of this project is that anyone can participate, even you! The creators receive sketchbooks from professional artists and stay-at-home moms alike, and all of the books are exhibited during their countrywide tour.
The project has some themes to get the creative juices flowing, and the rest is up to you! Each participant receives a Moleskine sketchbook (one of our favorites) to fill with drawings, paintings, collages, and anything you can imagine. We love that anyone can participate and show off their creativity, and once the tour is over the books are stored at the Brooklyn Art Library for future generations to see! You can find out more about the project here!
