below is the invitation we designed and letterpress printed for our little em’s baptism.
the soft gray design on the cards was adapted from the delicate lace and pintuck design of the feltman brothers dress that she wore after the ceremony.
the design was also carried through to the fondant cake that was served at the celebration that followed.
[once again, i edited the invitation photos for privacy sake. her full name was printed on the cards we sent out.]
these gorgeous pictures of lisa lefkowitz’s studio are very inspiring. so bright + fresh. although our studio is unpacked and put together, there are a few finishing touches left to do. i want to get more storage, a few prints to hang on the walls and a new light fixture. seeing her studio may be just the push i need to finish up our space.
pottery barn has several wire storage pieces that have caught my eye. i especially love this unique solution for the bathroom. and this letter sorter too.
remember those cute clocks i posted about a while back? well, if you fancied those, you’ll love these wooden mobiles i spotted.
miss emily arrived on a wednesday morning. the saturday prior we had just moved into our new home. needless to say, her nursery was not ready. kacey, my cousin and i spent the last two days setting it up in preparation for her newborn photos that we took this morning.
we’re really happy with how her nursery turned out, especially given how quickly we pulled it together!

think we picked up enough paint swatches for the office? before, we were considering robin’s nest and sea salt, but then we decided robin’s nest was too bright and sea salt too dreary. so, we narrowed it down to delicate mist [behr] and tropical surf [glidden]. both of us were leaning heavily on tropical surf. we got paint samples of both, and kacey painted a large swatch on foam core board. that’s when we realized tropical surf was way to dark and too blue. it wasn’t subtle enough. so now, i think we may be going with delicate mist instead. i’m so happy we painted a large area on foam core. it really allowed us to see the color. those swatches they provide are just too small!
these clocks are so cute! perfect for a nursery. or any room, really.
hope you had a great weekend! we spent ours printing + packing. why? because today we closed on our house! *happy dance*
pretty prints from etsy seller the wheatfield. “you are my sunshine” has always been a favorite song of mine, and i always imagined singing it to my little baby. hopefully, i’ll get that chance in a little over a month.
