jane austen inspired bridal shower tea party

Here are some pics from a recent Jane Austen inspired bridal shower tea party my sister hosted for our cousin.  I helped create the invitations, party favors, and the decor used throughout the party.

A custom silhouette of the bride-to-be was used on the invite as well as the party favors, which were lavender scented sachets.

Small tea cup floral arrangments, Jane Austen books and quotes were used as decoration throughout the house.

thanksgiving greetings & gratitude…

bee_happy_thanksgiving

a quote by: William Arthur Ward

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”

so thankful to each and every person in my life for making me feel gratitude on a daily basis… my husband, my pup, my family, my friends, my yoga instructors, my clients, and even the people i walk by on the street that simply just smile and say hi.

happy thanksgiving today & every day!

dutch style inspired birthday invitation

For Ms. Lana’s 75th Birthday Celebration, her kids wanted to go with a Dutch inspired theme to play tribute to something that their Mom really loves.  So I suggested the idea of doing a delftware tile inspired invitation.

The blue and white design paired real nicely with a bright yellow square envelope, which is Ms. Lana’s favorite color.

To mimic the look at feel of tile, I printed on a thick, smooth, silky paper stock with a spot varnish on the printed pattern.

And for party favors we recreated a mini 2″ style tile magnet using the same design from the front of the invitation so guests had a little something to take home and remember Ms. Lana’s celebration.

“Dank u” means thank you in Dutch.

If you’re interested in ordering something similar to this invite, party favor or would like to have something printed with a spot varnish treatment, feel free to contact me for more details.
