Post Stationery Show

I'm finally catching my breath post National Stationery Show!  Here are a few Instagram photos preparing for and during the show ...

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I'm soo glad we did it. I owe a big, big thanks to my dear friends Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee ... they worked the booth with me for two days!  And it was so great to meet so many people in person and I'm so grateful to all the stores that picked up our line!  

The new line will be available on our website this summer and in stores in the coming weeks.  YAY!

linda & harriett :: sale

I just stocked up on some of my favorites over at Linda & Harriet's sale ... so many goodies and you can never have enough cards [trust this from the girl who works with paper every day and owns a paper shop!] ...

Go check it out ... before she sells out [sale ends Tuesday]. : )

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.

national stationery show

This week has been extra busy with a very big wedding taking place tomorrow + exciting client work - hope to share soon!   I'm taking a little break + headed to NY for the National Stationery Show to check out all the fun new paper goods + a bunch of meetings.  Client work has taken me to NY regularly lately but this is by far my favorite trip to make each year.  A few goodies I'm excited to see ...

Have a great weekend + hope to share some fun news soon! xoxo

simplesong :: shop news

We've been soo busy lately that I haven't updated my site as much as I should (working on that in 2011!).  To start, we've added a few Valentine's goods to the shop ...

And I'm really excited by a few recent press mentions.  A feature in the new Southern Livings Weddings (out next week!) ...

And my work [along with friends + collaborators Kate Headley + Ritzy Bee Events] on Martha Stewart Weddings  from a wedding last Fall ...

Lots of fun things going on!

meant to be calligraphy

Michele of Meant to Be Calligraphy is one of my favorite local calligraphers.  She just stopped by the studio for some projects we're working on + showed me her updated portfolio + I love her new styles ...

Pretty!
