We have been busy around here, we also letterpress printed a more modern design for Bracken Paving. This design featured custom duplex paper of light blue and bright white that we created. We used a dark grey and robin’s egg blue ink 2 colors on the front and 2 colors on the back. (Thus, this was a 4 color project.) This was also a square card 3 inch x 3 inch. Our clients wanted extra thick paper, so we when we were done this paper ended up being about 720 gsm!
We just completed a custom letterpress printed business card project. This project was for a business/charity in Tennessee. We created a custom paper for them, one side is soft white and the back is a light brown. They also wanted a unique size so we trimmed these to 3 inch x 3 inch size. This was 2 colors on the front and 3 colors on the back, meaning we had to hand feed them through the press 5 times!!! Man it was a lot of work!!!
Our clients e-mailed us the design file for our letterpress print review. After their proof was reviewed and paper colors were finalized, we were off and printing. E-mail us if you would like to have your design reviewed to insure it’s “printable”. You can also contact us to receive a printing quote. We would love to print something unique for you.

event design by Amorology and photography by Schnack StudiosFall and spring times remind me of lush woodlands, walks in the rain and mossy trees. Following the faux bois theme, outdoor events celebrate natures beauty. If cool weather or raindrops worry you, bring the woods inside by using ferns, branches, tree stumps and moss. Sound more like the “Garden Center” than a wedding? Check out the chic ideas below, it may surprise you yet…

Maybe it’s because I live on the coast, but I have a romantic view of snow and winter. Not living in a climate where we shove snow or salt the roads, snow drifts seem magical and beautiful. Winter weddings seem cozy, warm and gorgeous. Here’s some outdoor snow inspiration for you!

The thrifty side of me has a difficult time paying retail prices at these amazing stores.. but if $$ were no object I’d love to have a gift registry at any of these places…
Vintage, bohemian chic is endless at Anthro…. swoon. Dresses, home decor, bedding, jewelry to die for!

Outdoor adventures found here. We loved the REI camping pads we used in the Grand Canyon. I could definitely go crazy over outerwear, camping gear, backpacking gear, outdoor cooking and shoes!!

Cozy, clean lines, with a touch of vintage… all these pieces would look perfect in a charming bungalow. Yes, I love Pottery Barn, and my current favorite color is white. Am I boring or what?! I can’t help it, I love simplicity!

In college I had the opportunity to live a few miles from the Dean & Deluca in St. Helena, Ca. I could spend way too much time and money sampling at the cheese bar, enjoying their unique baked goods and fresh made gourmet sandwiches!! Amazing local products and fabulous food pairing. If you are ever near any of their locations, a visit is a must!


From wilderness camping to frilly, favored lip glosses, I kinda have extremes!! My first Sephora visit was in Paris on the Champs-Elysées. It was a mega store, a huge hall of every beauty, fragrance or skin care product imaginable!! My greatest weakness is packaging. Cute, small, well packaged products will get me every time! I’m the queen of everything travel and samples size!
Do I actually have many purchases from these stores?? Ummm no, but I’m a good window shopper:-)
What is your dream registry?
