Beyond thrilled to design these baby announcements for my new niece, Eleanor. She is the daughter of my sister, B + her husband, D. Eleanor is also my family’s first grandchild… Needless to say, she is rocking our world in the best way possible! I’m keeping photos tucked away for now, but trust me - it doesn’t get any cuter than her. (She must get it from her aunt, right??) I also designed her baby shower invites over the summer… check them out here + here.

Place cards from Ana + Aaron’s South Carolina wedding. Hand-lettered table numbers, scanned + printed on thick kraft stock (with space at top for each guest’s name).
More from their wedding here + here.
P.S. THE SHOP is coming soon! I really mean it this time. Stay tuned!

One of my fave things about creating custom home stamps is hearing the stories behind the homes + the people that inhabit them. The latest stamp is for a pair of newlyweds who just bought a home and are starting their lives together… How exciting is that?!

This San Francisco custom stamp is one of my faves. As soon as I saw the ‘LIVE WORK’ sign above the door, I knew this was a home I identified with. The house is painted black, so I created a stamp in which almost the entire thing is inked up. I love how it turned out, but this can get a bit tricky for details over time. Therefore, I created a second, outline-only version as well.
P.S. buzzzzzz.
Those 3 dots above the house are actually bees, as the owner has been keeping bees + making honey on his roof! How rad is that? He is currently writing a survival guide for urban beekeeping. Check it out here on Kickstarter.

I don’t know about you, but the only handwritten note I ever received from my principal was on pink paper and said You’re late… again. (We had different ideas of what “being on time” meant). Therefore, I LOVED creating this stationery for my friend Brian, who is probably the coolest (and youngest) school principal around. I pulled inspiration for this set from classic, iconic school pieces such as the desk chair + the most looked at thing in a classroom: the clock.

Busy wrapping up Ana + Aaron’s ‘day of’ paper goods today! In the meantime, I thought I would share another peek at their invites… The type on the tags (and other pieces) was inspired by vintage typewriter keys. The trolley is a nod to Charleston, South Carolina (where the wedding will be taking place). Psyched to share the full set with you soon! First sneak peek is here.

Just completed this custom home stamp for a beautiful row house in Ohio. This project was extra special as the owner just purchased the home… so exciting! The stamp will serve as the return address on her moving announcements. Love that.

Stowe, Vermont holds a special place in my heart so it was SO FUN to create these save the date postcards for Jessica + Dan. They are getting married next spring at the lodge, with Mount Mansfield as their backdrop. Seriously, what more do you need.
P.S. Don’t you love these holiday evergreen stamps?
