Dauphine Press

Adored these new letterpressed notebooks from Dauphine Press‘ new(ish) online shop. The press is now carrying a wide variety of notecards, notebooks, gorgeous letterpressed favor boxes and custom stationery in addition to their wedding invitation business. Absolutely lovely stuff.

Porcelain Votives, Anthropologie

I’ve been using these votives, given to me as a gift from one of my best friends, on the dinner table for a quite a few dinner parties lately and totally love them. Just realized I never posted them, thought some of you might like them too. They look amazing on my dark wood furniture, the contrast plus the glow of candle light makes for a stunning effect.

Cutwork Votives, $20 each.

Nea

Janick of Nea contacted me to tell me about her jewelry. After looking through her site chock full of long beaded chains, I came across the feathery earrings above. How pretty and floaty, yet sculptural! Love that color. Those earrings are also available in 9 different colors. See more of Janick’s work at her Etsy shop.

Abigail Percy

I saw that Abigail Percy has some new things up in her Etsy shop for sale, namely these great leaf-inspired pieces. The simplicity of the leaf shapes in the polished silver are my favorites. Many are one-off’s and are never to be repeated. Get your favorites now. (thanks Mav!)

Louella Press

Speaking of checking back with some of the designers I saw at the Stationery Show, just saw that one of my favorite designers at the show, Louella Press, has a full site up with lots of work from thier wedding portfolio. They use the engraving technique for thier cards which I have never seen done in such a modern and forward way. Love the engraving on dark card stocks. They design with a varied style and do traditional, modern and vintage looks that all look amazing. The quality of engraving is superb… gorgeous stuff.

Mr. Letter’s Press Does the Holidays

I have been checking back with Mr. Letter’s Press since the Stationery Show for a full website but was appeased recently when I found that they put up a PDF with some of thier catalog on their website. I remembered seeing the above cards at the show and thought I’d share them with you… They have a little easel on the back so they can be propped up and displayed. I really liked the headless snowman… somehow I found it amusing. The thick pillowy card with the deep letterpress impressions makes a snowman look all the more lovely. Other favorites include the Thank You postcards, Generic Postcard, and the We’ve Moved postcards. Such great and graphic work.

Headless Snowman card, easel included on back. Enclosed in a baby-blue square flap envelope.
