Did you have a good Halloween? Ours was pretty fun. Here’s our Halloween rundown…
1 – Em playing in the bucket filled with goodies for the trick-or-treaters.
2 – Em and her friends getting ready for the Halloween parade at her school.
3 – Like we’ve done previously, we gave trick-or-treaters the option of candy or Play-Doh. Again this year Play-Doh was the favorite!
4 – Her favorite part of her Cinderella costume? These light-up glass slippers.
We recently designed + letterpress printed these custom sketch moving announcements. This time, we got the opportunity to sketch a sweet Australian home. Congratulations on your new place, B + L!
When my family came to visit this weekend, my grandmother brought with her a vintage View-Master along with vintage reels of Disney World, Snow White and The Flintstones. Em loved it and it was fun to look back on how Disney used to be. Some things haven’t changed much like It’s a Small World. Other things are long gone like the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride and Skyway buckets. My grandmother thinks this View-Master was for my uncle when he was little and thinks it’s Bakelite from the 40′s. I hope to find more vintage reels for it!
A few pics from our weekend trip to the pumpkin patch. My family was in town so we all got to go! Once again, Em loved all the little tiny pumpkins the most.
During our Disney vacation, we celebrated a milestone. Em’s first haircut.
The Harmony Barber shop at Magic Kingdom isn’t just for show. It’s a real, old-timey barbershop and they offer first haircuts full of Disney magic. I booked an appointment for Em before we left for our vacation.
For her first time, Em did great! Of course the slew of Mickey stickers and the spinning, light-up Minnie they let her play with helped, too! She was quite entertained.
Before I could blink, Em’s haircut was done and she was topped off with her very own set of Mickey ears – her first! On the back of them, “My 1st Haircut” is embroidered.
We were also given a commemorative first haircut certificate and a special little bag full of pixie dust and locks from her first haircut.
This was such a great + fun experience. I’m glad we were able to celebrate it in Disney!
So, where did we go on our family vacation? Disney World!
This was Em’s second trip to Disney as we went there last winter with Kacey’s family. This year, we went with our good friends and their three kiddos.
We had such a fantastic time! We met the characters. Rode lots of rides including the tea cups.
We dined at Cinderella’s castle and met all of the princesses.
And we enjoyed a part of a new section they just opened in Fantasyland where’s there are now two Dumbo rides!
This is so great because there was always a long line for Dumbo – one of Em’s favorite rides. This trip, I think we rode it four times!
We’re busy printing our 2012 Holiday Collection. In the meantime, we’ve updated our Etsy shop with cards + tags from our previous holiday collections. Enjoy!
1 – Em got her first haircut! Remember how I was nervous? Well, all turned out okay. More on that in another post soon.
2 – We got back from a super fun family vacation. More on that in another post as well.
3 – I have lots of letterpress goodies to share with you. Moving announcements [don't forget they are on SALE now!]. Business cards. Birthday invites. Oodles of awesome to come.
