Emma is all about exploring these days. Inside and outdoors, every day is a full of a new adventure. Love it!

I think we never get too old for tea parties. They are perfect for bridal showers, birthday parties or baby showers! It's also a great excuse to break out your grandmother's tea set, and "pretty dishes". All you need is a variety of tea, bite size sandwiches, scones or biscuits, and sweets, like cookies or cupcakes. You can also add a fruit or cheese tray. Set out your favorite linens and lots of fresh flowers and you're set! Enjoy!







Love these Easter Centerpieces by Better Homes and Gardens via Hostess with the Mostess blog.

I'm so excited for Alix, and Shakespeare Letterpress Museum for being featured in the New Times this week. Troy brought a copy home for me. We were first exposed to letterpress at Shakespeare, and learned a lot of printing techniques under Tom G. who has since retired. If you are a Poly student you need to check it out! So cool!

Whitney was nice enough to shoot some of our work!! Thanks so much Whitney.. love it:-) Happy Friday.. we're off to print!

We recently finished a business identity letterpress project for Whitney Elizabeth Photography which is based out of Santa Barbara CA and Charlotte NC. Whitney was nice enough to shoot some of our work:-) Here is a link to her blog. Thanks so much Whitney!

Happy St. Pat's Day!! We're enjoy the 75F weather here!

I love e-mails and it's my favorite form of communication, because I know I won't wake you up too early, or interrupt dinner etc. But these days you'll have to be patient with me, I have little hands tugging at me. Have a fabulous weekend!!

Where is most of your guests time spent? Sitting down admiring the table setting. Lots of your budget can be spent on the ceremony or outdoor decor, but the aspect most of your guests spend the most time staring at, is their table. Think about room flow, glass wear, linens and centerpieces. Here are a few of my favorite!
