Sweet Sleep

A client of ours, Emilie Salama-Caro, came by the studio this week to pick up the birth announcement cards we've just printed for her. Emilie went for a gorgeous white stitched grosgrain ribbon in navy, definitely the new baby blue. Emilie is a certified baby and child sleep consultant, as well as a mother of three boys, so we thought we had to blog about her. She has a gentle approach to helping children improve their sleeping habits so check out her website to see more information on the services she provides for parents and children.

'Having a new baby is giving me the opportunity to try out different sleep techniques first hand and I am delighted to say he is already a fantastic sleeper at just 6 weeks old!' Emilie S-C

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving so we thought we'd share a design of some fun Thanksgiving cards we did for a client to send to her family and friends in America. As well as it being Thanksgiving, today is also the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. You won't be able to celebrate the two holidays on the same day again until the year 2070 and then 2165, so celebrate Thanksgivukkah while you can!

Happy Halloween from NY

While on a brief visit across the pond in New York, I stumbled upon the shop Greenwich Letterpress that specialises in Letterpress printing and stationery. The selection was vast and the display in the store itself was impressive to say the least. Halloween is an occasion more celebrated in the States, just look at the Halloween greetings cards in the snap below.

Happy Halloween!

Concrete jungle where babies are made, oh

We've had a little bundle of joy arrive as my sister gave birth to a gorgeous boy last night in NYC. I spent the afternoon strolling the streets of New York and came across one of my favourite American stationers, Mrs John L. Strong. The tiny shop is filled with stunning, luxurious stationery and I loved seeing their thanksgiving range. If you're ever visiting and in need of some stylish stationery, pop by the store on Madison Avenue.

                                

American Psycho moment

On Friday two clients came by the studio to order some business cards and whilst deliberating with the dashing gentlemen what shade of cream the paper should be, we couldn't help but remember that great and memorable scene from the film American Psycho. Don't underestimate the power of your business card!

Map it!

An increasingly popular service we supply are illustrated maps that work as a fun alternative to a regular map. A great option for weddings that can work either as a save the date or as part of the information sheet. Not only can you have directions, but also your story mapped out where you and your partner met, where he proposed or where you first kissed! 

Illustrated maps don't have to be for just weddings, they also make for a fun means of directions to your house, holiday home or even the office. We definitely had to have our own set of directions illustrated for our studio.
