{save the dates + vacation}

I took a vacation last week; it was the first in a very long time. recently, 'vacation' has come to mean "take-your-work-to-a-new-location-and-try-to-hang-out,-relax-and-enjoy-those-around-you-while-getting-everything-else-done." and let me tell you, that does not work. actually, it can be more stressful than just staying in my own studio. so, this time, I left work at home and just took a break. and it was so wonderful. I water-colored, wrote poetry, spent wonderful time with my family, sailed, drank delicious wine, ate way too much, and actually took a vacation.

so I have this really sweet Australian couple that I have been designing wedding goods for; they are simply great. it has been so lovely to get to know them and craft designs to fit their wedding. as we are completing the final save the dates, I wanted to show some of the other proofs that were designed along the way. I'll show the final save the dates once they have been sent out and received.

oh, and a big THANK YOU to all of you who came out to the show at Celedon! It was lovely to meet you.

cheers.
