Moving Day

We finally moved into our new apartment 2 days ago and the process has been going pretty fast. It's all very crazy right now but I have to let people know of the new address & it got me lusting after some letterpress card selects!

Invita Paper Studio. Love the colors in this one, and not too formal.

12fifteeen have some pretty elegant cards. These could work as a moving notice.

Dear olive. This almost looks like a wedding invite! I know the nest metaphor is heavy in the card world when it comes to moving notices, but done simply like this, works best.

update

So many things keeping me busy these days my posting has been held back! I am itching to get back into the blog groove of things so hopefully this lull will pass. I finally found an apartment, and while the neighborhood is a little questionable, the place is great. I also get a brand new porch which I'm dreaming up blissful layouts for. A birdhouse and planters are definitely in order.

And I know it's very typical, but I'd also love some stylish porch lights or votive holders :)

Owlinois!

Owlinois by Frank Chimero. love this! He has several other states out as well, as he is in the midst of doing all of them. (via grain edit)

Racing Pigeon fashion

Chinny Chin Chin Pigeon racer ring necklaces. By themselves, the necklaces leave something to be desired-but coupled with the cards and layout with details of the bird...I'm a little intrigued! (via swissmiss)
