Catching up after summer

I'm happy to report that I had a wonderful and busy summer, although the new website, complete with embedded blog, had to wait until autumn. Given our chilly temps, Oregon rain and early sunsets, it's that time of year and here we are! Please check back often as I plan on adding lots of the things that kept me busy this summer. Since these photos came in just this week I thought I'd start here.


A few months ago I addressed envelopes for Candice and Cameron, a truly lovely couple. I can speak of both of them as I actually saw the groom Cameron several times, seeing the groom is a rarity for me. Candice & Cameron got married in Jamaica and I'm so happy they asked me to write out their table markers.




I did the cards in monoline formal script.


The table markers are from Lark Press. Jean at Lark Press does the most gorgeous work, as this card clearly proves. As with most letter press, you really need to touch it to appreciate it! I'm thrilled Jean refers client to me so I get to see her custom work. She's so talented! (The bird, btw, is The Doctor Bird, a species of hummingbird and the national bird of Jamaica. There, you learned something today!)




If you're in the Portland area you can't go wrong by heading to Lark Press at 3901 N. Williams. You'll find lovely notecards, papers, books, darling children's attire, scented soaps... can you tell it's one of my favorite stops? As if that weren't enough, there's a Pix Patisserie next door.




The photos come from Saab Weddings, a photography studio in Montego Bay. All of the photos Candice sent me were stunning but I had to pick just one to share with you, it literally took my breath away!

Best wishes to Candice & Cameron, I hope their future is as beautiful as this sunset!
