It must be moving season because we been busy working on lots of custom house sketches in our little studio. Here’s one we recently completed. It’s a moving announcement + housewarming invitation. I think the combination works quite well.

merci
You’ve seen the invitations and the wish cards. The finale? These small letterpress printed merci cards. We sent them out to thank everyone for coming to Em’s party. There were a few left over, so I’ve added them to the shop at a discounted rate. You can find them here.
wishes for em
In addition to the invitations, we also letterpress printed a couple of other things for Em’s first birthday bash. Today, I’m sharing with you the wish cards we printed.
At the entrance of her party, we set up a wish table with pretty silver pens, these letterpress printed wish cards and a sign asking guests to leave their wishes for Em on her first birthday. In lieu of a guestbook, we did something similar at our wedding where guests left their wishes + advice for Kacey and I. In fact, these pens are the same ones guests used at our wedding. I thought the idea would work well for Em’s party plus make nice keepsakes for her memory box. After her party ended and all the guests had gone home, we really enjoyed reading everyone’s wishes for Em. It’s a tradition I hope to continue for her future birthday bashes.
birthday banner
How incredible is this handmade paper banner? Very. Kudos to Donaville of Discover Paper. I can’t wait to see the rest of the decor for her twin’s first birthday bash. I really wish I would have thought of something like this for Em’s party.
phone case
I’m crazy about these Kate Spade phone covers. Too bad it’s Kacey that’s going to have the 4 instead of me. Now, off to look for him a cover. A masculine one. Any suggestions?
dressing em // no. 3
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Dressing Em post. I think it’s time for an update. This little melon floral number is what she’s wearing today. I buy very little clothes for her [sans Janie + Jack on sale] because she’s been so generously given hand-me-downs and gifted lots of cute dresses like this one. I adore the smocking + scalloped edges.

weekend recap
Wow, what a weekend! The Prince. The Pope. The President. So much history was made.
In other none history making news, we spent Saturday working in our flowerbeds. We finally added some color! Pretty purple petunias. Crossing our fingers that they survive this heat!
How was your weekend?
