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?

I’m trying to imagine a time when mailing addresses were so simple… no number, no street name, no zip code. “Hey, send this to the pottery company. Yeah, the one in Trenton.”

Have a great weekend.

Old: Letter addressed to West Point, presumably during WWI (date is not legible but postage was only 3 cents).

New: U.S. Merchant Marine stamps just issued by the Post Office (run, don’t walk!) + anchor rubber stamp found here.

Happy August 1st! Big birthday shout-out today to my sister, Mary. My studio printer broke last week (not cool) so what better excuse to bust out the washi tape + pens for some homemade b-day love. Hope you have a great one, M! 

P.S. I found the b + w washi tape here. Pretty much my new fave.

Just wrapped up this custom stamp for a gorgeous home in Connecticut. Had a lot of fun with this one… really loving the architectural details of this house, especially the oval window above the front door. (I think I’m starting to live vicariously through my stamps).

It’s no secret that I love stamps. You just can’t beat the imperfections and versatility that they offer. I am super excited about this custom stamp that I just wrapped up… my client asked for an illustration of her home as a return address stamp (genius idea, CW!) which led to the custom home cards. Which led to me falling in love with drawing people’s homes. Harks back to the good old days when homes had their own identities. Hello, Monticello!

Friends & relatives are always getting prototypes of new card ideas. This weekend there are two big reasons to celebrate: my sister Bridget’s birthday (Sat) and Mother’s Day (Sun). Sending some stationery love… don’t forget your own Mother’s Day cards!! P.S. Has anyone seen these new Gregory Peck stamps from the USPS?! Hello, Handsome. Thank you, Gregory, for matching the SH/Co. color palette. Photos by AB
