hedgehog

I adore this online kids shop, Hedgehog, based in the UK.  A perfect collection of classic toys + accessories ... and I love their signature red ...

Their packaging in a white box, twine and red tag is perfectly sweet and simple. 

simplesong :: nss 2012

I thought I'd share that we'll be making our National Stationery Show debut this year!  I've been literally thinking about this for years and this year is finally the year we'll be exhibiting ...

Its not the most stratgeic way, but I have always run much of my business by doing what feels right.  And this year it feels right and I'm ready to put a full retail line out there.  I'm pretty excited to share what we have in the works.  So, we'll see how it goes and I'll post periodic updates here! 

stella mccartney kids

Lots of cute things from Stella McCartney Kids ... much of it on sale ...

I wouldn't mind the orange pleated silk dress or yellow mittens for myself : ). 

The Noun Project

Love this site/project, The Noun Project, a library of free, downloadable icons symbolizing objects and concepts ... 

Found via The 99 Percent, where they have a great interview with the couple who founded the site. 

savvy studio

Love this fantastic branding work by Savvy Studio for Villa de Patos.  Savvy wanted the branding "to reflect the tradition, purity and simplicity of their family of products ... " 

Love all the handdrawn illustrations and classic typography.  Beautiful.

ian coyle :: 73 letterpress

I've been seeing a couple of pieces from this series on Pinterest + love it.  Its by Ian Coyle and he created a series of 73 prints for 73 days using old type ...

See all 73 prints here. 

poppy nyc

This is one of my favorite little shops in NYC ... they carry a great collection of clothes.  Stylish, comfortable but not over the top ...

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

simplesong :: summer wedding

This year I'm going to be much better about collecting and sharing photos of our work!  I'm starting with a wedding I had the pleasure of working on last summer.  The sweet couple was a client of Ritzy Bee's and I love how everything came together and are just a few things we created for the wedding ...

They really had a dream team of people who helped bring this wedding to life, including Bryan Johnson of A. Bryan Photo [who took all of the above beautiful images], Sidra Forman for floral + I was thrilled to finally have the chance to work with Mara of Neither Snow for calligraphy.

See more here from the Southern Living Weddings feature.

We've got lots coming up in the studio and shop this year [including the National Stationery Show for the first time!] + I'm hiring for a part-time assistant ...
