happy halloween!

Hope you have a happy and safe halloween -- full of lots and lots of treats.  Here's our Ike in his Ghost Buster costume!
He has oddly become obessesed with the Ghost Busters and has been dreaming about specifically being Egon Spengler for Halloween.  He was sooo proud to wear this to school on Friday :).

Are these not the most fun bridesmaid dresses? 

So, so cute + sassy.

Isn't this invitation for Anthropologie so great?  The text is embossed into a simple white eraser!

fall wishlist

I love the weather this time of year - not too cold but cool enough for boots, cozy sweaters + scarves!  And here are a few staples I wouldn't mind having right now ...

And happy Friday!  We're celebrating our anniversary this weekend with a quick trip to NYC ... so excited + thanks to my sister and future brother-in-law for babysitting all weekend!

beehive cake :: hello naomi

I am constantly inspired + impressed by the work of Hello Naomi.  How perfectly sweet is this beehive cake she made for a 2-year-old's birthday?

 

Speaking of birthdays, we posted a super cute party by Allison of Bird Dog Press over on HHH today.  Now I want a party creekside!

And on a totally different note, we had a space open up in this weekend's screen printing class at The Hive.  If you were interested in taking it, here's your chance! 

sweet + organic wedding

One of the weddings I worked on this past summer was featured on Style Me Pretty today.  I loved working on this sweet, simple but organic wedding and its so great to see everything in context ...

Congrats, Julie + Kyle!  It was a pleasure working with you (and I love the belt on your dress, Julie!).  : )

simplesong :: letterpress classes

I just posted our final two letterpress classes for this year.  If you're interested, check them out here!

And to change things up, I added two holiday card options for what you can print during the class.... : )

veronica stark :: packaging + branding design

Love this packaging + design project by Veronica Stark.  The concept is for "a boutique pharmacy for women with a modern packaging system".  Fantastic!

winnie-the-pooh stamps

Royal Mail just issued these new Winnie-the-Pooh stamps.  Are they not the sweetest things?

I wish the USPS would take a little lesson from the UK when it comes to good stamp design!
