PURVEYOR OF
PAPER
Since 2014 I have been taking on a limited number of projects a year involving custom paper goods, primarily for weddings and other life celebrations. While these endeavors are quite fun, they also are time consuming and costly for the clients I collaborate with. I began to imagine offering semi-custom, affordable options for event materials that are far more artful, unique, and highly curated than other print at home choices I've seen available.

I'm pleased to say that as of summer 2020 I have launched an Etsy shop that I will be slowly adding to with beautiful, thoughtful pieces that can be edited and printed on demand by customers.

LOVE AND ADVENTURE BRIDAL SHOWER COLLECTION
This beautiful hand lettered and painted collection was born from a bridal shower I helped host for a dear friend, whose casual style, adventurous spirit, and love of the outdoors led us to create a whimsical theme around "love and adventure".

Picture a late summer, backyard gathering with picnic-style seating, sangria to sip on, and easy decor inspired by wildflowers. Start by customizing the main invitations, then complete the event with matching designed games, thank you notes, advice cards, and more. You can find full party planning inspiration at the linked blog post, but I'll share the highlights here - cozy blankets and pillows for gathering around a long, low table, blackberry brie grilled cheese, caprese salad skewers, orange muscat sangria, a leather camping chair, homemade granola favors and capping it all off with a fire pit and s'mores bar. That's actually why the back of the invites reads "let's toast the bride with drinks and s'mores"...it's optional to print, but highly recommended to wow guests with the novelty of the theme! 

I recommend pairing the invitations with semi-transparent vellum envelopes and white mailing labels.

Little cutie baby shower COLLECTION
I created this "little cutie" suite for a dear friend and mama-to-be in October 2019. It's the perfect late summer/early fall theme, plus, it's totally on trend! We put our own spin on it by hand painting some oranges (madarin oranges are sometimes called cuties), hand-lettering the invites and signage, and swirling in some gorgeous dusty blue to balance out the bright peachy tones.

We set the party against the most beautiful backdrop: a river-front property that happened to belong to the expecting mama's parents. Fresh greenery and citrus were the easiest accents to enhance the natural setting. We did a beautiful long table to serve a light lunch and refreshing wine spritzers (in personalized glasses, no less). Guests were able to mingle and take photos at the photo booth station, or create a onesie for the little cutie on the way at a decorating station.

I recommend pairing the invitations with dusty blue envelopes with white hand-lettered names and addresses. Personalized wine glass decals are also available!
