Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
These Marquee Alphabet Lights from Urban Outfitters would be great for wedding decor for a modern or carnival-inspired wedding, and they even have a convenient "&" symbol for initials or "Mr. & Mrs." etc. At $178 a letter it's a bit of an investment, but these would make great home decor after the big day!

Our favorite after extensive tasting: Almond Butter with Apricot Preserves and Vanilla Buttercream!

Growing up, we LOVED the sumptuous fairytale illustrations of early 20th century Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen.
Aren't these gorgeous? They've big source of design inspiration to us of late! So we totally thought of him when we saw these amazing faery wedding photographs by Elizabeth Messina via her blog, Kiss the Groom:
So amazing! See more of Elizabeth's unbelievable photos here. See more of Kay Nielsens gorgeous illustrations here.
We love the pretty, home-spun feel of these lovely wine bottle labels by Australian-based studio War Design.
Such a pretty package, and so inspiring!

We just learned that a bunch of our coordinating wedding stationery was featured in a recent edition of Brides local magazines! We're so thrilled about this because we always get asked whether we can do coordinating items to match a bride's wedding invitation suite. The answer is YES, and with our new digital printing option, it is super affordable! Thanks, Brides!
We just love all the gorgeous fern and woodland-inspired details in Tess and Adam's wedding via photographer Rachel Thurston.

Mais, oui!

We're exhibiting again this weekend at the Maker Faire, at the San Mateo Expo Center. Looking forward to checking out all the fabulous crafts and DIY projects! Come visit us in the main Expo hall!
We spotted this lovely and ingenious wedding invitation by Greek designer Chris Trivaz today via Lovely Package. We just love it!
Being invitation designers and crafters, however, our imaginations started churning re: how you might make these and incorporate them into the rest of the wedding design!
Plain tin cans are so beautiful and graphic that we can totally see using them as vessels for pretty flowers (photo via D.S. Brennan)
We can also envision spray painting the cans in vibrant colors, and even and stenciling them with simple initials or a graphic pattern. (via Peapods photo stream)
Colorful baker's twine would work in lieu of the kraft twine (via School Locker)
Or how about designing a pretty vintage-inspired label to wrap around the can, like so? Could be so cute! Photo from here.
Regardless, we love the concept - and it would be so fun and interactive to have guests tie them on during cocktail hour! Photo from here.
Joel Dewberry recently launched his new Deer Valley collection, including these two gorgeous patterns.
We just love looking at Joel's work; it's always so fresh and lovely. To top it off, he's once of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. His patterns favored heavily into Eunice's wedding design, including the invitations, and a custom deck of playing cards (photos forthcoming soon via Martha!).
We adapted the patterns to a more muted, feminine palette to create letterpress note cards and wedding invitations.
Joel's Ginseng and Aviary collections are the inspiration between these two gorgeous custom wedding albums from Flyleaf Books and our Sparrows wedding invitation in espresso and rose, available both letterpress and digitally printed.
Photos of Aviary fabric via Rainbow Fabrics' Etsy shop, and Ginseng fabric via Fabric Worm.
We just love all the other applications of Joel's fabrics by Esty crafters, like this Ginseng-inspired clutch via Cotton Purr
Also love this chloe bag from Glitzy Gals
Check out all the wedding stationery we created with Joel here and the letterpress greeting cards here.
Donna Hay opened a gorgeous new home wares store recently in Woolahra, Sydney, Australia. For those of you not in the know, Donna is an internationally renowned cookbook author, magazine editor and homewares designer.
Emilie Goldstein, the retail manager, shared these lovely pictures of the beautifully styled shop interior.
We're thrilled that our letterpress greeting cards are carried there as part of a hand-picked letterpress stationery selection.
Just two of the many designs Donna selected for the shop.
The bottom one reminds us of Donna's gorgeous desserts!
Her magazines and website are full of simple, pretty inspired recipes and crafts like this doily table runner and hand drawn place mats.
Here's Donna outside the store. Sounds like it's been going swimmingly - can't wait for her to open one here in the States!
