Hello!Lucky
Letterpress greeting cards, thank you notes, DIY projects, free printables and craft inspiration.
We were remiss in giving props to one of our favorite wedding blogs, Style me Pretty, for doing such a lovely feature of our holiday cards.
Check out Style me Pretty's blog to get your daily eye-candy fix. Today they have a gorgeous spread about wedding welcome bags for destination weddings, among other tasty offerings.
Oh! And about that holiday card feature, did we mention there's a promo code?
One of our favorite illustrators, Esther Aarts, is currently exhibiting at the Arnhem Museum of Modern Arts in the Netherlands. She was sweet enough to send us a photo of the exhibition, featuring her Season's Salutations and Retro Christmas greeting cards! Congrats Esther!

Stylist extraordinaire Kelley Lilien (Mrs. Lilien as she's known!) has expanded her online presence to include a perfectly curated online shop - just in time for the holidays! Her fabulous selections range from homeware (like these Mr. and Mrs. glasses and colorful ice bucket) to jewelry (those crystal earrings are divine!).
Personalized coasters add an elegant flair to any holiday party...there's even a set of holiday crackers!
Be sure to swing by her equally fabulous blog!
Design Milk featured Hello!Lucky's Hometown Holiday Cards yesterday-- and we wanted to let you in on the secret. Going on now, there is a giveaway of our most popular holiday card designs. Click on the link, craft your comment and cross your fingers! Best of luck!
As you know, we are big fans of Ban.do and even bigger fans of ingenius budget-friendly flair (and, like a bunch of ravens, anything that glitters...) - and thus, we were thrilled to discover their fab shoe clips! How cute are these hearts?
We also love us some pom poms!
Cute! Fabulous for the bride, bridesmaids, holiday parties, or simply to put a little pep in your step! Find them here.

It's Save the Date season for spring weddings! Are you excited? We certainly are! Many of you might have wedding websites on the mind, so we compiled, for your viewing pleasure, a list of all the designs we have represented on free wedding website providers. All you need to do is choose the one you like best and sign up. What a dream to have a website that matches your beautiful stationery! Without further ado:
My Wedding is a great resource for Hello!Lucky designs, and has the widest selection of our styles to date. You may choose from several colorways on most of the designs, and your options include: Architecture, Chandelier, Cherry Blossom, French Deco, Honeysuckle, Autumn Leaves/Maple, Oak, L'Oiseau (Oiseau), Orchid, Origami Garden, Sparrows, Sweetheart, Visit Hawaii, Visit New York and Visit San Francisco. Here's a thumbnail of how the pages look:
Wedding Mapper carries our popular Nouveau Peonies design, as well as Sophisticate, Architecture, Heartland and Tides. Each design has several color options to choose from.
Project Wedding is another great site with tremendous resources for brides and grooms. Project Wedding carries our Cherry Blossom, Belle Epoque, L'Oiseau and Antoinette website designs.
Last, but assuredly not least, Wedding Wire is a wonderful resource, and they offer three of our designs for websites: French Deco, Honeysuckle, and Origami Garden.
Happy browsing!
Loving this Periodic Sweetshop from British designer Stephen Wildish.
We are SO impressed by our clever clientele! Read below to ROTFL!
Totally Hilarious!
Thanks so much Debbie, Chris, Zippy and Delilah, from all of us at the H!L office! And thanks for letting us share!
We couldn't show just one, so here's the original list to inspire the aspiring:

We grew up in the 70's and 80's, so Fisher Price holds a particular place in our collective hearts, but, seriously, how could you not love these classic toys? The aesthetic is so very, very cool...
These little portable radios!
And this music box TV!
Ah Jingle Bird...
And this camera? Seriously.
Fisher Price has brought back a few of their vintage toys, such as the classic Chatter Telephone (though it amuses us to think that the average child would be utterly mystified by this phone - rotary dial? Wha??) and the Record Player and let's not forget The Corn Popper Push Toy! We wish they would bring back more!

We are currently crushing on the lovely wedding dresses to be found at The English Dept...wondering if it's absolutely necessary to be getting married to own this dress! Lounging in a field of grass swathed in tulle and lace is looking quite enticing...
The English Dept. is a design studio and wedding dress boutique, carrying creations hand-picked from independent designers such as Jenny Yoo and Ivy & Aster. Owner, Elizabeth Dye, designs her own gorgeous collection of wedding gowns as well.
Seriously, does this dress fulfill all our Jane Austen wedding fantasies? Yes. Yes it does...
You can find The English Dept. here and in Portland: 1124 SW Alder Street (503) 224 0724

Looking for a sweet wedding, anniversary or holiday gift? These king and queen pillowcases are lovely.
This customizable pillow goes perfectly with our Home Sweet Home wedding suite!

What a beautiful backdrop! This fantastic San Francisco Wedding was just featured on Snippet and Ink.
Love the pairing of our place cards/escort cards with the Russian Dolls. Such rich colors. And Bimbo's 365 Club was just the right venue for retro ambiance. We adore Bimbo's delicate pink monogrammed plates with the menus, too! Fab photos by Our Labor of Love.
It will be snowing soon for some of us. We thought we'd revisit this great idea to warm your cockles. Warm things and caffeine do wonders to brighten an evening, particularly post daylight savings time.
Not just a chocolate lolly, hot chocolate on a stick. A taste-tempting D.I.Y, which also could mean Drink It Yourself. Maybe curled up with a good book?
Recipes, ideas, and all sorts of chocolaty savvy featured on a great blog called Giver's Log. Which we found via Sew, Mama, Sew.
And wouldn't it be a lovely after dinner cup for a winter wedding?
Our Caroling Creatures holiday card is featured on Poppytalk today!
Thanks Jan!!
Don't forget the details when selecting your custom holiday photo cards this year! Holiday themed postage stamps are a must!

Our Winter Wonderland card was featuring in Apartment Therapy's Festive Cards from Illustrators and Artists round up.
Thanks AT!
Have you heard of Zulily?
Zulily is a fab, beautifully curated listing of brands that specialize in kids and moms, be it clothing, decor, ephemera or stationery of course!
They have weekly and daily coupons and promos. It's simple and painless to join the list (we love avoiding spam, too)— just provide your name and e-mail and you're set. They even have some deals for non-moms... and it's good inspiration for mom-wannabes.
Hello!Lucky has a current promo, through 11/9/2010, that's good for our birth announcements and great for holiday cards too.
Peruse the cuteness!
Some of our favorite stores for kids' stuff are their favorites too. They represent blabla, HABA, Zid Zid, Urban Smalls, Kiwi Industries and many more!
It's been too long since we've made it out to the Alameda Flea Market, so when we were reminded the other day of how much we adore vintage blown-glass ornaments, we had to find someplace to get an eyeful. Our Woodblock Ornaments holiday card design put us in the mood, and we turned up all these lovelies to help us flea-shop vicariously.
Such beautiful music! We just couldn't hold back our holiday enthusiasm any longer.
Our personal favorite. What colors! Fancy a cup?
And a requisite Father Christmas.
AAACK! But maybe not this one! Teee heee!
All these come via a lovely vintage treasure blog called Oodles and Oodles.
One of our favorite design blogs, Grain Edit, did an interview with one of our favorite illustrators, Julia Rothman today. Read it here!
