jamin + lovin'

liefday monday.
{jamin + lovin'}

so it's that time again. wedding season. love is in the air, and in my case, covering my studio with envelopes, paper, ink, fabric and nibs. as I type with ink-stained fingers and soreness in my arm, I could not be more excited about this seasons' weddings. hip hip hoera!

a big perk to having a dutch father is jamin. (said ya-min) it's a wonderful dutch version of willy wonka's chocolate factory, sub the black licorice for chocolate. delicious. thank you for making prime room in your suitcase for this papa. a lief design favorite!


dutch beehives.

lief wedding invites. linen, meet calligraphy. I think you will be great friends.


and some calligraphed cards of the week.



happy monday!

excitement + flexibility

forgive me tuesday.
{excitement + flexibility}

first, forgive me for my interrupted blogging. life gets crazy sometimes. (ha, sometimes, maybe all times? ever feel that way?) as much as I love the structure that the three times a week blogging brings, it is nice to have some flexibility. so thanks for your grace and understanding that comes with being human, and maybe, just possibly having one too many things on this girls to do list. :)

but I am super excited about some lief happenings.

first, yesterday I received christmas times ten in the mail. linen samples! they are just gorgeous. I wish pictures could convey texture because these are gems. much creativity and dreaming has begun. oh to make beautiful things from linen!



second, very excited about doing calligraphy work for jack + suz's wedding invites and place cards. I'll post some pictures nearing completion.

third, absolutely thrilled to be working with erin + lauren as they create welcome home, a natural, delightful home nourishing + cleaning business. meeting with you both this past week was a joy! if you are looking for a natural based cleaning company, they would be a wonderful fit!

fourth, custom baby shower thank yous. most things made little are just so sweet. researching for this project was thoroughly enjoyable.

feeling very grateful and blessed to be working with you all.

happy week.

NYC, UICA Markets, FABRIC!

I just fell in love...with a store.
purl soho to be exact.
I was in New York for the weekend and spent 90% of my time in one store, one store.
[and I was thoroughly content.]
who knew fabric could make me this happy...


picture is not that great, but here are some of the fabrics I bought.
really love the Kokka fabrics and linen (surprise, surprise).
oh the linen was so beautiful...
I could go on and on about this store.
it was a complete delight.


also, I am officially in the UICA holiday artist market!
super excited about that.
Come and check it out on December 3 and 4.
I'll keep you posted with information as it comes.
