Little Baby Isla

DSC_0254

We finally decided on both the first and middle name for our little baby girl! I was born in Scotland, and Sasha’s parents are both from Serbia, so we narrowed our searches down to baby names from both those cultures. We had about six names (three Scottish, three Serbian), then tested them out for awhile and decided upon ‘Isla’ – pronounced eye-la. It’s a Scottish name, so we chose Milijana (pronounced Milly-ana) for a middle name, which is Sasha’s only surviving grandma’s first name. Not an easy name – Isla Milijana Petrovic – but neither of our names were, and we liked it! I am a sucker for a good personalized print, so I ordered this one and this one from Minted (along with this sassy print). I could have ordered 1000 more prints. I love Minted so much.

Golden Baby Announcement

If you’ve seen some of the nursery inspiration I’ve posted so far, you can likely guess that the color gold will have a huge influence in all things related to our baby girl! When I saw these golden calligraphy baby announcements by Val Marie Paper on Oh So Beautiful Paper, I swooned. I fell in love with Val’s stationery skills back here.

Favorite pieces of these announcements: First, the name Vivi Mae is so darn cute (we’ll share our name soon!); secondly, that baby is adorable; third of all, that calligraphy by Katherine Holly is amazing. I cannot wait for my two upcoming calligraphy workshops!
