Black and White Sweets

I love the black and white theme for this open house party held at Fifteen Eleven. 

Those little bow cookies are carry out the shop's branding so sweetly.

Spotted on you are my fave.

Fine Heraldry

I've come across these custom crests before, but every time I see them I love them all over again. By Happy Menocal,  they deliver custom heraldry for a new family, wedding gift or invitations, personal monogram or logo.  As a weddding gift would be to die for. Maybe one for the newly engaged Mo of Just Say Maux? I think so.

Supergirl

I love the idea of taking kids artwork and turning it into something like this.

From Tortoise and the Hare. Do stop by and see all the amazing pics and details from this special party!

Doily Do

I don't know what it is with me and doilies, but I love finding new uses for them. This is too cute.

And that dessert spread isn't too shabby itself.

From a sweet baby shower featured on Dandelion and Grey.

Chicago Knot Tying

Chicago, the Cubs, hand drawn illustrations, Lou's...how could I not be a fan of these charmers? Absolutely love this invitation suite, but my favorite might be the map. The maps get me every time.

Chicago Wedding Suite by Swiss Cottage Designs for Lacey & Flynn.

An Etsy Venture

Just a new little place on the internet for you to visit. The Social Secretary Etsy Shop. Don't be scared off by the low inventory, I hope to update often with new (and old) card designs. I started making and selling cards in 2007 so I'm finally taking it to the net. Enjoy!

Cute Cute Cute

Love this DIY bridesmaid card! 

Looks a liiiiiitle time consuming...but for 6 maids I guess it wouldn't be too terrible.

Extraordinary Return

It would be nice to always have a pretty return address and not the hurried

messy kind because you forgot to put one on in the first place.

Thank You, Baby

On the hunt for shower thank you cards for a mama-to-be and came across this little DIY diaper diddy.

Drop a Cap

You've probably seen her drop caps somewhere out there. Now you can buy pretty letterpress versions of Jessica Hische's Daily Drop Caps. An entire alphabet even. Fancy.

Lilly P for Cocodot

If Florida doesn't scream Lilly Pulitzer then I'm not sure what else does. There is one shop on Sanibel that is dedicated to Lilly and I loved just looking at all the beachy colors in her collections. Instead of donning one of her iconic shifts, now you can buy Lilly Pulitzer stationery for Cocodot. From babies to barbeques the essence of LP's color pallette is captured perfectly in this "eco-chic" line.

Draw! Pilgrim

So nice of Draw Pilgrim to share a whole month of free birthday printables. My fave so far is the invitation and envelope. Go here for seals, banners, cupcake toppers and cootie catchers galore.

Found via How About Orange

Wise Abe

If you do a quick "Abraham Lincoln" search on Etsy, you'll find somthing nice like this.

By Mary Kate McDevitt....loving most everything else in her shop, too.

Paper Flowers

From the wedding of Kelsey and Brett featured on Once Wed. Love the paper flower installation by Dolci Odille.

Barbeque Thank You

The summer has just begun and I already have a few BBQ hosts to thank.

These would do quite well to seal up some thank you notes.

Dapper Date Saver

Love this Save the Date from Dapper Paper.

Banter Banners

No party necessary for these fancy banners.
