Homage du Fromage

I designed all of the stationery for this chic French wedding last year.  There was table settings, a seating plan, invites, favours and other bits and pieces.  The stationery was featured on a post over at Wedding Sparrow last week!

Available again

So I've released a limited number of custom items in my etsy shop: plushies, family/couple portraits, house and pet portraits.  They will be first come, first served and each month once they sell out I won't be releasing any more until the end of the month.

yay!

Cute new tote bag now available through my etsy shop. And there's also a special January offer: 5 free greetings cards of your choice if you buy any tote bag.  It's too good to be true!

Take Chances

A gentle reminder in pillow format.  Brand new cushion in my etsy shop! I designed this at the end of last year - I'm pretty excited about it... we're definitely going to keep a few of these ones for our apartment.

Cheese

My buddy wanted to take some photos of me for his portfolio back in September of last year, so I let him work with the most awkward model ever with the added challenge of her being 31 weeks pregnant. Here are a few of the lesser awkward ones.

Colourful Californians

I designed these wedding invites for a rad couple based in California last year.  The bride wanted colour and something really representative of them as a couple.  They got married in a field of wildflowers in October. Swoon!!!

For your buddy

When it comes to Christmas shopping, buying for my friends and sister/sister-in-law is my favourite part... because you can basically just pretend you're shopping for yourself, and buy awesome stuff you'd usually not allow yourself to buy.  Here are a few things I've picked out on etsy to gift to my (self) friends...

Amazing scout-style merit badge from TheScoutProject 

Stacking ring holder bowls from MadgeDishes + Awesome painted pouch from emmyreis

Poppy phone covers from yours truly, of course

Pretty packaged soaps from HelloSoap

Constellation print from BranchandOlive

 Too early mug from Emily Mcdowell Draws + Beautiful scarves from Link collective

... and don't forget, if you've not shopped on etsy before you can use this link to get £5 towards your first purchase!

My other favourite thing to gift at the holidays are books.  Have you setup a Goodreads profile? It's a great way of keeping track of books you've read and books you've been recommended.  You can check my list of books I want to read here.

This year I'm actually trying to rebuild my collection of books I've read and leant out and never gotten back or lost. It's nice to have copies of your faves on the shelf.  Here are a few of my all time favourites that I think would make lovely gifts:

Other failsafe ideas: stripey socks, massive jars of coconut oil, beautiful manuka honey.  Licorice, special salt, coffee. You're welcome and happy holidays!
