I’m anxiously awaiting the day that one of my best friends, who is from Mexico, gets engaged, because I want to be involved in every step of the wedding planning. Call me a control freak if you’d like, but I like to frame it as ” lover of papel picado.” Mexican weddings are huge, cultural events, and I cannot wait to see {p} all princessed out in her beautiful, white cupcake dress.

I commented on my obsession with the Carolyna font in my ‘The Bare Necessities‘ post, but I wanted to share some more pictures of where the font has been popping up and hopefully you’ll begin to understand why I love it so much. As a typography-lover, it brings pure joy to my life.
Imagine my glee when I found out that now offers Carolyna font for their photo books and invitations. I literally squealed!

I’ll admit it: I have a shopping problem. I love Anthro and J. Crew – a lot. Therefore, I have put myself on a shopping ban for at least three weeks. That means no frivolous purchases, like “ohmygosh – I totally need that floral Anthro skirt!” or “Twenty neon pens for only $40? Yes, please!” Unfortunately, my self-control started before I found Paris in Color, and now I’m sad. Because, truly, I feel like I need this…
I lived in Paris for the Summer of 2009, and I haven’t been back since the Summer of 2010. Oh how I miss the most magical city in the world!
Um, I’m sorry, but is there anything in the world cuter than little boys dressed up in formal attire?
I think not.
So when I saw these adorable “little man” birthday party invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper, my heart fluttered. Are these invites not perfect?
They were created by Atheneum Creative, a stationary boutique (conveniently) located in Houston and Charlotte. I know who I’m going to for any future invitations!

As you have gathered by now: I love stationary and gorgeous handwriting. But what about stamps? I must admit, I’ve never really entertained the idea of using them to replicate envy-invoking calligraphy until now.
My new favorite, Sparrow Nest Script, does customized stamps too – Glorious!
Also, using a custom stamp for an invitation is a unique, fun idea. Lindsay from McMillian+Furlow created the coolest BBQ invitation using a custom stamp – I love it!
