Dallas Derby

I joined forces with Bows & Arrows (floral), Sugar Bee Sweets, The Left Handed Calligrapher and a few other talented folks at this Derby Inspired Wedding Shoot. You can check it out on Style Me Pretty's site http://www.stylemepretty.com/2011/05/16/dallas-photo-shoot-by-greg-blomberg-photography-the-left-handed-calligrapher/

Ladies and Gentlemen

Update! This invitation was featured today over at Oh So Beautiful Paper (http://ohsobeautifulpaper.com).

Who doesn't love a good circus-themed invitation? I know stripes aren't the newest trend, but I still love them! This was an invitation I designed and letterpressed for Sara Fay Egan's baby shower, hosted by the uber-talented event planner Todd Fiscus (www.toddevents.com) Enjoy!

Dream Packaging

I love old packaging. Anything that combines a cameo and some good type/graphics gets me everytime. I'd probably start smoking if cigarettes actually still came in packages like this one (well, maybe not, but it's tempting.)

Letterpress Love

Have you planned your Valentine's Day surprise? It's not too late to get your sweetie a treat from Missing Q Press.....I've set up an adorable booth at Bows & Arrows (1925 Greenville Ave • Dallas) and through Saturday you can stop by and pick up a love note, order an arrangement and send a little love. *The Left Handed Calligrapher will be back this Saturday to personalize your sweetest sentiments from 1-5pm.

Club Monaco

This wedding sounds like more fun than any vacation I've ever taken....the bride and groom are bringing a handful of their closest friends to Monaco! Seriously!?! The festivities will include a yacht trip around St. Tropez, gambling in Monte Carlo and a vineyard tour in Italy. Oh, and the wedding. The design was inspired by a vintage Monaco stamp I have had for a while now, and they loved every detail in this invitation suite from the color palette to the the vintage map used in the envelope liner. The travel guide included a note from the couple, travel tips, an itinerary and some blank notes in the back for guests to keep track of their favorite parts of the trip.

LOVE.FEST.

I'm excited to invite you all to a really fun event next Saturday, February 5th. Join me along with Alicia Rico (Bows & Arrows) and Nicole Black (the Left Handed Calligrapher) at the Bows & Arrows floral shop (1925 Greenville Avenue • Dallas, Texas) from 12-5 for a Valentine's Soiree. Pick up letterpress greetings from Missing Q Press, type some love notes at the vintage typewriter bar, order a gorgeous floral arrangement from Bows and Arrows and finish it off by having the Left Handed Calligrapher do some fabulous hand lettering to your love. Packages available for pre-order and cash/carry (prices range from $40-100 and up for custom arrangements.) See you there!
