This week I had the chance to work (for the second time) with the very talented Katherine Yaphe of Oliver Yaphe, an amazing home textiles company. Katherine designed these great notecards in honor of her new addition, Sophie.

Just before New Year I took the plunge and bought myself a digital SLR camera in hopes of taking better photography for my portfolio – and just in life.

I printed two sets of invitations this week with similar clover styles. The sage clovers were printed on offwhite stock, and the blue on a slightly less creamy pearl white stock. I sent off plates for 3 weddings yesterday so the next 2 weeks will be busy. Hope you’ll check back!
