Leaves and Lucy
Image
And so with the arrival of fall I thought it a great time to return to blogging…but then I was buried under a mountain of work, never posted this and now it's nearly November. So it looks like the end of fall shall signify my return to this blog...but I'll... Continue reading

It's that time of year...

Happy to be a Stamp Nerd
Image
Earlier this year I rediscovered my Canadian stamp collection. That's right, thanks to Mom's enthusiasm, I was a member of Canada Post's Stamp Traveller Club (insert nerd heckling) however unlike most of my pre-teen interests (listening to Color Me Badd, watching Blossom, crimping my hair) my stamp collection was a...

Mid-century Home Stationery
Image
As mentioned in one of my travel posts, these designs were inspired by the historic Alexander homes in our favourite Palm Springs neighbourhoods. And heck, if I can't live in one (perhaps a nice A Frame Swiss Miss style?) then I might as well illustrate them. All four card designs... Continue reading

Palm Springs Pt. 4
Image
On our second last day in Palm Springs we decided on a hike in the Indian Canyons, which is made up of Palm, Andreas, Murray and Tahquitz Canyons, each with unique landscapes. You could easily spend days exploring the area - our hike through Palm Canyon barely scratched the surface... Continue reading

Desert Getaway: Part 3
Image
Having dreamt of our room at The Orbit In since our trip last year, it was clear we couldn't go to Palm Springs and not return. The amenities were just as great as we remembered; we loaded up our in-room player with complimentary records from the front desk, filled up... Continue reading

Desert Getaway: Pt. 2
Image
On our third day in Palm Springs, we spent the afternoon at the drool-inducing, Jonathan Adler designed, Parker Hotel. We had brunch at Norma's, their upscale diner, which absolutely wins for ambiance but was surprisingly second to Cheeky's for our favourite breakfast in Palm Springs. We spent the rest of...

Desert Getaway: Part 1
Image
Because our trip was oh so perfect last year and because I've since named it my happy place (and my favourite source of design inspiration - but I'll get to that later) and because our winter was so long and painful, in early April Cory and I headed back to... Continue reading

New favourite
Image
Ok, so heirloom watermelon radishes are my new favourite thing. They're crunchy and delicious and oh so beautiful. Seriously, if there's a better looking veg out there, I haven't seen it. Initially I didn't know what to do with them...other than marvel their tie dye coolness. Eventually I found this... Continue reading

Hot Cuppa Chai
Image
Now that the cool weather has returned, I'm back to my obsessive chai latté drinking...which can be an expensive indulgence, as are many of my favourite things (if only I could make my own cheese). Last winter I scoured the web for masala chai recipes (note: the word chai actually... Continue reading

Shop Local: One of a Kind Show

Sweet Simplicity - C&K's wedding suite
Image
Of course I'm biased, but I really loved this particular wedding suite....ok I love them all....but there was something very sweet about Carrie and Kevin's invitations. The ceremony took place at Carrie's parents home, a bit of a tradition for the women in her family. The family home is a... Continue reading

Greetings
Image
Hey remember me? The author of this dear neglected blog who disappeared all summer...right, that's me. I planned a lengthy hiatus to build reader anticipation....um yes...that's it. Or the summer was just a busy time, as it is for everyone, and so I put a pause on blogging. To get... Continue reading

Back in the new year, when my friend Kelly sent me her inspiration pictures for her son's first birthday party, (the adorable Henry) I was pretty excited. I mean animals in neon party hats - hello! I got to work illustrating and printing a flat, 4 colour invitation for the... Continue reading

Days in the California desert

As I mentioned a few posts ago, Cory and I were fortunate to plan a short trip following the One of a Kind Show. It was last minute (as are all trips when your husband's in the military) and exactly what we needed (ok, wanted). Having both been absorbed with... Continue reading

Spring 2013 One of a Kind Recap
Image
At the end of March I packed up my paper goodies and once again set up the Flakes Paperie booth at the One of a Kind Show. The Spring show always seems so short compared to the Christmas Show (I'm not complaining!) and it was great to see many of... Continue reading

It's been a while, so I thought I'd share a snapshot of what I've been up to courtesy of my instagram feed, which actually serves as a convenient reminder of what the heck I've been doing. Along with exhibiting at the Spring One of a Kind Show, filling new wholesale... Continue reading

T+M's around the world flat invitation

Tiff and Matt were to be married in a rural barn and wanted an invite to reflect that as the main theme. At our consultation however, we got to chatting about the fact that they had lived in different parts of the world and loved to travel, which we decided... Continue reading

R+M's twisty tree booklet invitation
Image
Rachael and Matt's invitation is a great example of just how unique and personalized a custom invite can be. As outdoor enthusiasts getting married at a rustic ski resort, where they were giving saplings as guest favours, Rachael and Matt hoped to have an invitation that incorporated these natural elements....

Madeleine's announcement
Image
This past summer I had the pleasure of creating a birth announcement for sweet little Madeleine (ohhh that name!). Madeleine's Mom, my good friend Johannah's only request was that it compliment her son Eddie's announcement. We chose a pretty coral as the main colour with pops of brown and blue... Continue reading
