Jingling & Mingling

Thanks everybody, for coming to our Jingle & Mingle event that was held last Thursday evening at Urban Cottage. It was such a fun night and it was truly heartwarming to see all of our friends and family supporting us. The ladies at Urban Cottage did an amazing job as well. They not only made our card display look awesome, but they made great food and cocktails that kept the party going well after the event was scheduled to be over. Here are a few pictures of our Farewell display in the store, along with some snapshots of us with the lovely co-owner, Jessica.

New work: Baby Shower Invites

Another baby shower! This was a fun invite to create since the mom-to-be doesn't know if she's having a baby boy or girl. Green and yellow were the colors chosen by our client, but we wanted to add a unique twist to the pieces, so we used chocolate brown accents and stitching. The mom is a very classy lady and has a great sense of humor, so the damask pattern combined with the "Baby Whitaker" line made this invite perfect for the occasion.

Fun little stitching details

Jingle & Mingle

Thursday, December 3rd, we are having our first ever trunk show at Urban Cottage in the Virginia Highlands. Urban Cottage is lovely store filled with everything we would ever want to put in our houses. From the furniture, to the linens, to the candles and soaps they offer, every time we go in, it's hard not to leave empty handed. Over the past few months we have become good friends with the owner, Jessica, and some of the ladies that work there. We tossed around the idea of selling holiday cards and Jessica was nice enough to host an event at her store. Here are the details:

December 3rd
6:30-9:30pm

• Store wide discounts at Urban Cottage

• Holy Vino will also have their jelly wine for sampling (yum)

• Festive drinks ;)
  

• Tasty snacks

• Holiday music

• Event give-aways

It will be a fun time and a great way to kick off the shopping season. Think about it, no malls, no lines, no fighting for a parking spot... So please come out if you can and support local businesses. If you can't make it, be sure to check out some of our holiday cards that will be posted on Etsy shortly after the event.

300

Finally! A quick break to blog to everyone about the newest work that is coming out of our studio. Today we are featuring programs for an Indian wedding that is coming up in a few short weeks. These have been quite the labor of love, but we are so pleased with how they turned out. The gold paper is a fun touch that really makes these programs pop. These pictures were taken during the beginning stage of the process. At the time we were cutting, scoring, folding, and gluing beads to 300 programs. More to post with the second half later this week.

Our bad.

It's been very busy lately. And that's a good thing! Between weddings, Bar Mitzvah's, baby showers and working on our hoilday cards, things have been a bit hectic and we've been slacking in the social networking department. Our apologies. We'll try harder. We promise. We'll have lots to talk about, too, especially since we'll be working on my wedding invitations, but I vow not to bore everyone with all the details in the planning process.

Anywho, please be patient with us. We'll keep in touch.

Baby Love

We absolutely love this new baby shower invitation we made for a dear and near friend of ours. She wanted something with two little birds in the color scheme of chocolate brown and pink. We couldn't have been happier with the results and our client loved them too!

Rare Bird Finds Loves Us

We were recently featured in another blog last week called Rare Bird Finds! These lovely ladies scour the net to find new items that are one-of-a-kind and would make the coolest gifts for your closest pals, even if they are a furry friend. (They feature the cutest dog and cat toys). Jen and I tend to frequent this blog, not to mention we are on their mailing list and RSS feed, so we were uber-excited to be featured and given the stamp of approval by the RBF writers themselves. Click here for the link that was featured and then check out our little Etsy store where you can buy our cards that were recently featured.
