I can hardly believe summer is almost over and school starts next week.  We did a pretty good job with our summer check list.  Here are snippets from our August ... lots of fun + lots of work ...

instagram, v.3

I've barely had time to blog, tweet, Pinterest [there's so much to keep up with, no?] these days ... but still loving Instagram.  Here are a few snapshots from recent weeks ...

Hope everyone is doing well and happy Friday!!

2012 National Stationery Show

So, we're just a couple of weeks away from our debut at the National Stationery Show.  And I must admit, I am super excited.  Its a whole lot of work [especially right in the middle of wedding season] but its been so much fun to work on. Here's the mailer we sent out a few days ago to potential retailers ...

The feedback has been great + I'm so grateful [and relieved!] for that.  If you're going to the show, stop by our booth [no. 1768] -- I'd love to meet you!

recent press

We've had the great fortune of having some amazing press recently, including a feature in yesterday's Washington Post [!] ...

You can see the Washington Post article here.  A big thank you to Southern Living [and Cory!] for doing such a great story on stationery designers and shops - we appreciate the love.  And it was definitely a career highlight to be asked to design something for Martha Stewart Weddings, featured in the December issue. 

old town alexandria favs

I have lots of love for Old Town Alexandria, not only because its where our shop + studio is located but because its a super charming area with lots of great locally owned shops.  Here are my favorites eats + shops ...

If you visit D.C., its a 15 minute drive from the city and about a 20 minute metro ride. Worth an afternoon visit! : )

Shop links: Fromagerie, Butcher's Block, Red Barn Mercantile, Fifteen/Eleven, Society Fair, Lavender Moon Cupcakery, Pop's Ice Cream, Brabo Tasting Room, Olio Olive Oil
