pansy postage

i’ve been quite smitten with all shades of purple lately. so, i can’t wait to get my hands on these pansy postage stamps. so pretty.

i just bookmarked these diaper covers. as a ruffle lover, i think a ruffled bum is just beyond cute!

maternity photos

the week before miss e was born was a very, very busy week. we closed on our house, painted our guest room, nursery + office and moved into our new home. friday, in the midst of all the crazines, kacey and i paused for a few hours to take maternity pictures in soco with the über talented wendy of blue lily photography. here are a couple of my favorites from our fun shoot.

i was really on the fence about taking maternity pictures. i didn’t exactly love the way i looked while pregnant, especially near the end. however, i also didn’t want to regret not taking them. now, seeing the pictures, i’m so happy we took them and that we have this special time documented.

baby book // part 3

as you recall, i was on the search for a baby book. i decided to go with this one from pottery barn kids. i like that it has preprinted pages + photo pages and an envelope for keeping cards, notes and such. i also like that it comes with an inking kit for doing her little hand and footprints.

i just placed an order for it, so when it comes in i’ll let you know what i think!

we’re open!

as we prepared to welcome our baby girl into our family, we briefly shut down our shop. now that’s she’s here, we’ve reopened it and you can purchase any of our ready-made pieces. we’re going to hold off on custom projects at this time, but we are happy to get up an rolling again with pre-printed pieces.

recent work // jenna cole

we recently completed a couple of custom projects for jenna cole photography that i thought i’d share with you all. she wanted to include a gift pack of cards with her mailings. so, we printed these fun hello note cards using the icon and flirty typeface from her logo. we letterpress printed tags for her to use as well. i love how her wig, as she calls it, lends itself so well to such fun applications.

nursery tour

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!
