Glistening Oak Leaf Letterpress Invitation from Hana Hou Productions

These Glistening Oak Leaf Letterpress Invitations from Hana Hou Productions are absolutely gorgeous! I love the oak leaf beads — not a detail is missed.

I’m continually amazed by what invitation designers are creating. Many independent designers, Hana Hou Productions included, have elevated invitation design to fine art form. Hmm…this gives me ideas, dangerous (and expensive) ideas.

Wonting * NYC Autumnal Gocco Prints

What wonderful, whimsical prints from Wonting * NYC! I love the autumnal color schemes and illustration style of the foxberries (above left) and pumpernickel flower (above right) prints.

Wonting’s artwork is handprinted with a gocco (yay, gocco!) in a limited run. Each unique print is signed and numbered.

Since I know that many of you view the blog through feed readers, I just wanted to post about the launch of the new site design. Nothing too drastic, but the layout has been updated, and I’ve also added advertising options for those interested.

Hope you like it!

Check out these cute Halloween bags from Papyrus. My favorites are the ghost bag and pom pom spider bag. Perfect for Halloween gift giving, and they could easily be used as Halloween candy holders, too.

Papyrus is currently having a 30% off sale on all of their Halloween items, which makes these Halloween bags an even better deal!
