Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
Even though Rifle Paper Co is all over the blog-o-sphere, we couldn't resist posting about their debut at NSS. Adorable illustrations and hand lettering adorn cards, prints, stationery, and the super covet-able recipe box (above), complete with recipe cards, below (it will be available on their website soon).
We also loved the hilarious cards from our friends at Blue Barnhouse...
...and the beautiful fabric wraps (for wrapping gifts!) from Chewing the Cud.
Stay tuned for more of our favorites!
At this years National Stationery Show, we were honored and excited to participate in a booth community with three of our favorite designers - Egg Press, Hammerpress and EIEIO. Besides the camaraderie, treats and gossip, their work was incredibly inspiring! We especially loved the bus thank you card (above), gift wrap and calender (below) from Egg Press.
Fellow letterpress printers Hammerpress had some fantastic new journals, calenders and cards:
EIEIO had some great new wrapping paper, but unfortunately, we don't have any photos! Check it out here.
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!).
Check us out on Pingg! We have a brand spankin' new collection of online kids' invitations and announcements that you can e-mail to friends & family using Pingg's super easy interface!
You can check out printed versions of our new custom birth announcements (no party invites yet - patience, friends!) on our website!
We've been recently enamored of the fabulous blog of Nichole Robertson, Little Brown Pen. She's a copywriter who splits her time between New York and Paris, and her blog is filled with gorgeous images and amusing commentary. The francophile in us swoons on a regular basis...
These are some of her photos from the Bastille open air market - we are pea green with envy and plotting a trip to Paris...
Her blog will make you want to chuck everything and move to Paris, to spend the rest of your days lounging at sidewalk cafés, pedaling down cobbled streets with a bouquet of flowers under one arm and a bag of meringues in your basket, and milling around at open air markets contemplating fifty kinds of cheese. If that's not a realistic possibility, she also has an etsy shop where you can purchase some of her prints for day dreaming purposes!
Julia's back! We've been conspiring with her on a line of kids birthday cards, featuring gentle giants and magnificent mermaids!
Riveting robots!
and unearthly unicorns!
These will be available for sale on our website soon.

Esther Aarts is an amazing Dutch illustrator who has done work for t-shirts, magazines, advertising and now...greeting cards! We recently collaborated with Esther on a couple cards for our Spring release and couldn't be happier with the results. For example, who doesn't love anthropomorphic beer steins cheers-ings themselves?! Or a cheerful Oompah band wishing you a happy birthday?!
See more of Esther's work here and here. These will be available for sale on our website soon.

We've been working round the clock to get ready for the National Stationery Show. We'll be releasing a bunch of new cards, as well as promoting our new book (more on that later)! As part of our new release, our old friend Sock Monkey Sam has been having some amazing adventures! See him navigate through the sky with a trusty mate (above), or leap buildings in a single bound (below)!
Rule benevolently over his loyal subjects....
...and perform amazing acts of sorcery!
These will be available for sale on our website soon.

Cookin' Mom (above) and Mama Giraffe (below) from our Mother's day collection are available on our website and in stationery stores worldwide.
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!!!

We especially love this series of giant animals roaming the city streets!

If you love cute tea towels as much as we do, then you will also love UK based To Dry For, an adorable collection of tea towels from some of our favorite designers like Rob Ryan, Darling Clementine and Donna Wilson.

As if living in San Francisco wasn't fabulous enough, the proximity to the Miette pastry shop makes the experience even more delicious! In addition to their beautiful cakes, cupcakes and confections, they've recently started creating cookies based on their adorable wallpaper.
Don't fret if you live outside of the bay area - Miette ships nationwide! In the bay area? Why not take a cake decorating class and make your own?
Is your dog really a dapper gent just waiting to express himself? Then this hilarious dog toy may be just the thing to let him show his true nature! If you don't have a canine friend to mock, perhaps try our human version - fun for kids and adults alike! Made by Because We Can for Eunice and Daniel's wedding, these mustaches are perfect for the dapper gent in all of us.
We all know how great (and affordable!) J. Crew wedding dresses are, but have you see their jewelry lately? Its really lovely - perfect for a spring wedding, whether you are the bride or just a glamorous guest! Some of our favorites include the Crystal Lattice necklace (above) and the Crystal Bib necklace (below).
View the entire collection here.
We're always on the lookout for fabulous details that might be used to add little touches of flair to wedding or party design.
We came across The Gilded Bee via the lovely Head vs. Heart. This adorable little shop has a selection of bits'n'bobs that would be a perfect addition to favors, cake décor, or...we're sure there are a multitude of uses to be had! Love this bit of ruffle...
Handy little tags!
Butterflies in a myriad of colors...all available here!
We are smitten with the adorable needlepoint pieces from Miniature Rhino - would they make the cutest wedding gift!?
The heart sampler (above) would be perfect with our Big Day wedding suite!
Visit the Miniature Rhino etsy shop here.
