Back in August.

Hi everyone --

The Maida Vale studio will be closed until late August. As with last year, I'll be taking some time off to travel. Please be sure to visit the shop when I return. Hope everyone is having a fab summer.

Thanks again,
Heather.

Airplane baby shower invitations.

Remember the baby shower I hosted in March? Baby Jonah has now arrived (!), so I thought I'd finally share the invitations. Jonah's daddy is really into RC planes and cars, so the shower's transportation theme was introduced through this design. I picked up the envelopes at the Regional Assembly of Text in Vancouver and reused letterpress scraps for a registry insert. Welcome to the world, Baby Jonah! Click images to enlarge.

Arrow letterpress notecards.

Hi everyone! I'm just back from a much needed trip to Maui. We are so lucky to have Hawaii just a short flight away, so my husband and I took advantage of it. I'm also excited to share some simple new cards with you! These arrow cards are letterpressed on 100% cotton Crane Lettra (in soft white). I paired them up with kraft envelopes. You can find full details in the shop. Thanks for looking!

A very punctual ring bearer pillow.

I *love* this ring bearer pillow DIY on MS Weddings. It matches my Punctual save-the-date so well, too!

Trains + Planes for Baby.

I hosted a baby party for very good friends this weekend. They are expecting their first child (a boy) any day now and we are all so excited! Anyhow, I hesitate to call it a shower because it was a tad unconventional. No games or finger sandwiches, spouses and significant others and plenty of beer... you get the idea. Because the father-to-be is very into RC, I went with a trains and planes theme. I'll post the invitation in the near future, but in the meantime, here's how the buffet table looked. This look was inspired by a shower I loved on Amy Atlas' blog. Sources follow below, but you can also check out the Pinterest board for the big day. Enjoy!
