Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
Spotted these grand assemblage pieces by Eric Ulrich on Junkculture.
As letterpress afficionados, though, we must make a disclaimer: if you happen upon a set of wood block type, make sure it's incomplete and thoroughly dinged up before you re-purpose it. Good, complete sets of fonts are hard to come by. Consult with a pro. : ) (These look pretty well worn; the blog says Eric salvaged the type from a printing company in Iowa.)
Love the textures and colors! Makes us feel at home.
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!

On a recent trip to Paris (oh, how we love thee!), we discovered Petit Pan - a charming little shop filled with all kinds of marvelous things...
Like this lil' rabbit, that came in his own "petite maison" (a cardboard box with holes cut out for his ears - one has to let the ears breathe, clearly!)
The aesthetic is heavily inspired by Chinese folk art and popular culture (no one does that particular shade of hot pink quite so well) but with that je ne sais quoi that is so very French...
Adorable bags...
Love these fabulous kites...
Love this children's chair SO MUCH...
In addition, they have a shop dedicated entirely to beads, baubles, ribbons, and fabrics and offer what are, no doubt, fabulous classes in drawing, textiles and kite-making, among others.
If you ever find yourself in Paris, you must visit - it is a truly magical little place. You can order from them online here, or visit them in Paris here: 39 (the haberdashery) and 76 (the shop), Rue François Miron.
Did you see the incredible dinner party that Jordon threw under the Golden Gate Bridge?! There's even a how-to if you were so inspired....now we just need to figure out how to get on the guest list!

This handmade headband/tiara from Denise Sharp would be perfect for flower girls, bachelorettes or any one else needing a bit more loveliness in their life.

It pays to have friends in the right places! Bristol-based illustrator Tom Frost creates these adorable bespoke cars as wedding gifts for his lucky friends! This car features colors from both the German and Norwegian flags - the native countries of the newlyweds. Tom takes commissions too - click here to learn more.

Oh, the possibilities!
These napkins would make cute escort cards - just pin your guests name to the appropriate napkin!

Since eating cake (and baking it too!) is one of our many illustrious hobbies here at H!L, these bunting flags by Kiki La Ru are right up our alley!
We love, love, love Jess Brown's rag dolls (and are deeply envious of their fabulous outfits!)
Coveting this very bohemian little dress and linen jacket...
Each doll is handmade from muslin and cotton and bits of vintage or recycled fabrics, and every one is completely unique...how adorable are these circus girls?
Turns out that Jess Brown is from our neck of the woods, even! She lives in Petaluma, just a few hours north of San Francisco, and has, with her good friend, a little shop called Maude there. See more of her dolls here...
We are thrilled to report that the wedding of Eunice's best friend, Erin and her new hubby, Jeremy, is featured on Style Me Pretty today!
It was a truly fabulous and fun affair, designed by Alison Events, with lots of ingenious details, including a vintage card catalog that acted as the seating guide. Each guest's card was cross-referenced with other guests according to interests, life history, etc....
...and possibly the most amazing and hilarious first dance - done to Hey Soul Sister by Train and including the Beyoncé's signature move from All the Single Ladies (need we say more?)...
...a photo booth by Magnolia Photo Booth - always a huge hit at any party...
We collaborated with Erin and Jeremy to come up with a charming array of stationery inspired by vintage ephemera and McSweeny's. The invitation was supposed to look like a page torn from a book...
The replies were Mad Libs fashioned to look like an old school Western Union telegram...
And the programs, designed to look like a vintage book...
This was one of our favorite projects so far this year! We really loved their creativity and sense of fun.
Crafty couple Martine and Fred used our free template to create a sign for their signature cocktail for their recent Oregon wedding. Yay! We're so pleased we could contribute to this rustic event featuring bundt cakes, show posters and a country band! See more photos from this fun wedding at the fabulously redesigned Snippet and Ink!
New mom Adele poses her daughter, Mila, in an array of adventurous scenes as her maternity leave hobby - we could just melt from the cuteness.
We are enamored with Hip Hip Hooray, a brand new blog dedicated to fun ideas, projects and themes for kids birthday parties - let the crafting begin!

Super cute products (and styling!) from French ephemera shop Milk & Paper.

One of our favorite wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty, recently featured Sarah and Matt's 2007 wedding showcasing their vintage style and love of tall ships. We designed and letterpress printed their invites (above) and the couple embellished them using wax paper, baker's twine and a wax seal.

We are swooning over Dayna & Eric's adorable eco-friendly wedding in Orlando, Florida - all the earthy and homespun details tie together beautifully...
They used our Home Sweet Home invitation set - we love how perfectly it suits the look of their wedding...it's always such a thrill to see how our clients integrate our work into their big day...
Cuteness abounds! See all the details and hear the whole story at Ruffled...
Did you see Lily and Andrew's breathtaking wine country wedding on Style Me Pretty? Can you say gorgeous? We worked with the bride and groom to create all their paper products - from the save the dates to the place cards, and everything in between. Inspired by our Classic Cowboy, Heartland and Biltmore wedding designs, we created a unique suite that fit their rustic chic theme perfectly.
The wedding was a true family affair. Andrew's cousin Jocelyn Arelt was their wedding planner, and Andrew's aunt, Valerie Arelt, did all the flowers!
The wedding and reception took place in the Sonoma Valley, at Lily's parents ranch. It was 106 that day! The ceremony took place in the middle of an oak grove.
Guests enjoyed dinner catered by the Jimtown store in a Zephyr tent.
Lily wore a Monique Lhuillier dress and Andrew donned a Thomas Pink suit.
Many, many congrats to Lily and Andrew!!!
