The Exquisite Book Signing Party!
Last night we attended a book signing party for The Exquisite Book, a project headed by the lovely Julia Rothman. We were honored to be asked to participate in the book (see Eunice's contribution here). The signing took place at the ever fabulous Rare Device.
Eunice was on hand to sign books with her trusty companion Jude (trying to take credit for her hard work! Some people....).
The party hosted a live drawing event featuring contributing artists Caitlin Keegan, Kelly Lynn Jones, Susie Ghahremani,Tom Neely, Lorena Siminovich and Lisa Congdon.
Eunice adds her signature hot dog!

National Stationery Show!
We're back from New York! The National Stationery Show was a whirlwind of new and old friends, fellow designers, bloggers and buyers from our favorite stores around the country, not to mention some incredible paper products! There was so much inspiring work from new designers and those who have been in the business for years. For our own booth, we were thrilled to introduce our new designs from Julia Rothman (above), Esther Aarts and yours truly.
We re-purposed the pom poms from Eunice and Daniel's wedding - they were a big hit!
We also got a chance to preview the cover of our new book, Handmade Weddings, from Chronicle Books. The book comes out this fall, and is available for pre-order here.
We added some decor with pink peonies and vintage bottles from the Brooklyn Flea (and candy for buyers and booth-workers!).
