Danish Paper Stars!

danish-paperstar

We are getting the urge to do some last minute holiday crafting after coming across these super cool Danish (or German or Moravian) paper stars!  There's a handy tutorial - love this wreath idea, and these would look so great nestled into a Christmas tree, or just hanging around, being festive!  And, they would be lovely as a wedding detail (since we have weddings on the brain over here) - perhaps as a cute place card holder? (Fingers tapping chin, contemplatively)...

Hello!Lucky Holiday Secret Book Exchange

Shh! We're doing an secret book exchange for our Hello!Lucky Holiday Party.  Wonder if anyone will be giving/receiving any of these? bookcovers

I can name of a few of us who might fancy this one:

bookdiy

Ooh hoo hooo... this one looks like a REAL treat:

bookwed

ACK! Scary! But full of all sorts of wisdom, no doubt.  Via Found in Mom's Basement.

Cut Paper Pendants and Brooches

You know that we're fans of silhouettes and Cut Paper designs— notably in Eunice and Daniel's wedding.  So, imagine our surprise when we found this cache of Etsy goodness!

bpeter

Cut paper Peter Pan!? What little girl (or never-grown-up little girl) could resist?

bbrooch

Oh! This adorable brooch! We want the suit to go with, too!

bswing

Sweet little swing! The Etsy seller, Tina Tarnoff,  appears to be a San Franciscan, too. So much talent in this city!

bvictrola

Adore the vintage Victrola.  And there are many more designs to choose from, so check it out. Thanks so much, Tina!

The Exquisite Corpse!

Eunice-Moyle222

Check it out: 7x7 magazine is challenging all you artists out there to participate in their rendition of game that served as the basis for the book The Exquisite Book: 100 Artists Play a Collaborative Game (we were very flattered that they used our page from the book as the first drawing in the game! Woot!).  The details can be found here!

Silk Tree Branch Mobiles by Moon-Lily Silk

Some of us have been traveling here at Hello!Lucky and we're a little confused about what season it is! We thought these delicate silk tree mobiles by Moon-Lily Silk were a refreshing way to look back while marching ever onward toward spring...was it? Picture-22

Brought to mind our Autumn Leaves design.

And these brought to mind EIEIO's Lunaria design.  Lovely, modern and nature-inspired.

Picture-21

And of course, Cherry Blossom.

Such lovely decorations for seasonally inspired weddings!

And, they might look equally beautiful in a nursery, no? (A child's nursery, that is, not an arboreal one where they might get a little lost.)

Thanks so much, Jan, for sharing!

Real Wedding: Lee & Sean

1831

We were so thrilled to be a part of the wedding of Lee & Sean - check out their gorgeous wedding that took place at Barn Diva in Healdsburg (love Barn Diva!)...

We designed her wedding invitations and day of stationery - the wedding invitations were especially cool as our design was laser engraved onto wood veneer by Oslo Press.  It really added to the modern organic feel of the invitation...

We made these paddle fans too! Cute, right?  Love the yay flags!  Genius idea...
