Calligraphy Workshop

photo-555x443

I love calligraphy. Not the old school copperplate kind, but contemporary lettering. This sounds absurd, but I could look at cursive lettering all day long. I have looked into taking classes in Houston, but everyone I find seems to teach the super slanted, loopy calligraphy, and I’m not interested in learning that. When Amy and Riley at Papellerie showed me our logo and invitations with Michele of Meant To Be Calligraphy‘s handwriting, I swooned. “That is the type of calligraphy I want to learn,” I thought to myself. While my handwriting is far from perfect, I do have a very steady hand and am constantly doodling cursive words in meetings and at church (while paying attention, of course!). Michele lives in DC and holds workshops at a local venue, and I’m going to one in February. I’m extraordinarily excited to take my first class (with my mom!) and also to have another trip to one of my favorite cities in the US. Have you been to DC before? If not, you should. Perhaps just to eat the veggie burger and popcorn at Founding Farmers.

Newlywed Christmas Cards

This will be our first Christmas as a married couple, and I love newlywed holiday cards. I scoured the internet and have featured some of my favorites below. I am having such a hard time picking one though! Which do you like the most?

Rifle Paper Co. Holidays

rifleholidays

Nobody says “Feliz Navidad” or “Happy Birthday” like Rifle Paper Co. My one true obsession in life (but truly), I rarely tell someone “Happy __________” using anything other than a Rifle Paper card. Anna Bond’s unique, artistic representation of holidays, from Halloween to Valentine’s Day, is absolutely perfect. Their New Arrivals? Incredible. I want all of those phone covers please. I even emailed them recently to request they create wall paper. Wouldn’t that be to-die-for? One of their Customer Service Representatives kindly replied and said she’d pass along the suggestion. Fingers crossed, y’all.
