Happy Mother’s Day
Don’t worry Mom! This one comes off.

It’s been a very busy Spring Wedding Season – and I congratulate all my June brides!
In the spirit of Spring, and all things ‘green’ – here is a sampling of my client’s letter pressed envelopes.
They are from Smock Paper’s Engadine Line.
The Syracuse based company is one of the first print shops in the U.S. to use sustainable bamboo paper (and it is a dream to work on.)
I created these mini magnolia paper flowers with the help of Paper Source’s Paper Flower Kit - what a great way to honor flowers and the Earth, by ‘making’ them with recycled paper…You can reuse the pattern with other textiles like I did here with a some pages of a vintage copy of Dr. Zhivago…

Honored to be featured in Style Me Pretty’s new “Living” Blog. I worked with Loli Events, and FaceTime Beauty to create a Sprinkle Party – a second baby shower! The Sprinkles are in the manicures, pedicures, cocktails and treats. I hand lettered thoughts and menus on mirrors. Trent Bailey Photography captured all that glittered.

Recent work for a client. Ephemera and Sundries courtesy of Myers of Keswick.
What would we Anglophiles do without such a shop? They even carry Fairy Dish Soap.
However, still miss the individual instant porridge packets.

“We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything.
The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time,
every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”
– Shall We Dance

I had the pleasure of working with Gillian Simon, one of the masterminds behind the stationery line, Quotable.
Gillian started this line twenty years ago, born out of a simple frustration for finding cards that would inspire friends and loved ones. The line now includes calendars, mugs, magnets and other sweet ephemera. ’Each item features a quotation or proverb written in a distinctive style and script.’
As I do, you probably have one of those cards hanging on your refrigerator right now!
As Ms. Simon says, “They’re inspirational, everyday cards. They have universal sayings, but depending on what place you’re in mentally, the quotes mean different things to different people.”
Avid surfers, Simon and her betrothed used a Bob Marley quote for their Wedding Invitation. {In high tide or in low tide, I’ll by your side.} It is the first Wedding Invitation of its Quotable kind! So I was honored to add my white cursive style to her simple and classic quotable style.
