new press!

I'm so excited to share that we added a new press to SIMPLESONG!  After finding it last November, we finally moved it yesterday.  It was quite an endeavor + I'm so relieved he's back in one piece and hopefully will be up and running in the coming month or so.  A big credit to the previous owner who kept it in amazing condition ...

With the new press, a busy studio, a new website, the launch of Hip Hip Hooray, and a ton of summer, fall and spring 2011 weddings ... things have been quite hectic.  I'm teaching a letterpress class on Saturday and beyond that I'm hunkering down to focus on designing and printing.  Back on Monday ... have a great weekend! 

petit alma

I love the work of Kirby Woodson Legate, founder of Petit Alma.  They just recently relaunched their website + I love the looks of it + look forward to their new shop ...

Her illustrations are just so great + love the use of color.  LOVE.

etsy love :: ello there

I'm in the throes of wedding work, so I've got weddings on my mind.  I came across these cute designs by Ello There Invitations and  had to share ...

Really sweet designs.  [via make do + send]

farm wedding

Love all the details from this elegant farm wedding featured on Once Wed this week ...

Lots of great paper details ... and her necklace (which is actually two) is amazing!

I can't tell you how much I love this concept - customizable chocolate bars by Chocomize ...

 

Such a great idea ... and great for gifts + favors! [via room for dessert]

jelly shoes

I've been seeing a lot of jelly shoes lately ... some cuter than others.  I'm not sure what I think of them yet but here are a few cute ones I've spotted ...

What do you think of the trend + also are they comfortable?

The entire Monogram collection by Sarah Drake Design is quite lovely ...

Really timeless + classic.
