My husband and i usually go to the market each week together. I do love meal planning, experimenting with new recipes and trying new food. He is away this week, and by habit i overbought at the store. So i found myself splitting and freezing much more food than normal! So i tried to be all organized and remember what was in each package but i’ll never remember. And you know, as a designer, i need something pretty and fun to label the food! So i went into the studio and whipped up these tags:

You can download some here. I just trimmed out and used clear packing tape to hold it on. Enjoy!
Daily drop cap

appy Monday my friends! Notice something different? That stunning capital ‘H’? The amazing drop cap? Saying that word brings me back to my art school years, and Quark. Drop caps can be a beautiful solution for an undoubtedly tricky design situation. Enter Jessica Hische and her Daily Drop Caps. While they are designed solely for sprucing up your blog, they are beautiful inspiration and something lovely to look at when you log onto your computer each {work} day! I can’t believe that i hadn’t heard about Drop Caps until recently, but thanks to one of my daily reads Twig and Thistle, i was lifted onto the design wagon! You have to scroll back into the archives and see past drop caps. Each one is mesmerizing, unique and just plain beautiful.
Here are some others:

Happy, happy Friday everyone! What a fun week back to work. New projects, new friends and new a new bride! I have some goodies to photograph, but to be fair to the brides, I want them to see their invites first. I’ll be excited to share. Think beautiful and elegant for fall, with shades of gold, blush and ivory! They are just so lovely. The envelopes are at the calligrapher now getting the final touches!
Did you all have a great week?

This was a short blogging week for me, so here are the quick links:

When life gives you lemons

There is nothing better than a tall glass of lemonade. {Spiked or not}. A lemonade stand, a bbq, a little girl’s birthday party or a bridal shower sprinkled with yellow and lemons!

Whatever the event this summer, i hope you are enjoying the yumminess of fresh squeezed lemons, the taste of summer and all that goes along with it!

Good morning friends!
I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and play catch-up since being away from the studio. It is always tricky, but i’m just about done answering emails and planning the weeks of summer and summer weddings.
Thank you to my guest bloggers, Courtney and Tara while i was away for filling in the blanks! I really appreciate it! When i came back, i was catching up on my own blogging and found a sweet blog, and she had posted about some amazing goodies that i just had to share!

How sweet are these? Unique and colorful clutches and purses handmade by Bagatelles & Co. Perfect for a wedding, bridal party gift or just a fabulous party to add some sass to your style!
I’ll take one of each please.
