Since it’s Fashion Week, what better than to share a letterpress artist that I found through a fashion magazine*? Anna Fewster’s work is understated, thoughtful, and exquisite: the “Bloomsbury” bookplates shown above are inspired by a stay at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex. Also available as notecards, I love that the colors are rich and saturated and the design vaguely evokes pussy willow buds …. even though it’s actually influenced by the farmhouse’s dining room wallpaper! No matter: it’s still lovely! You can purchase the cards and bookplates through Anna’s etsy shop, and keep up to date with the buzz, latest press, and new work at her blog. (While you’re clicking around, don’t miss Anna’s own wedding invitation gallery, a snippet of which is shown : I’m always captivated by designers work when it’s personal!)

the save-the-date i fell for
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, I’d like to share a couple of details from a wedding featured in the latest Town & Country Weddings magazine. Anne and Noah were married at St. Paul’s James J. Hill Reference Library, making the handmade library card save-the-dates the perfect entrée. The couple, along with their planner Laura Mullen, bought actual library cards in bulk and a date stamp with red ink from an office supply store, then paired them with a basic typewriter font for the perfect library feel. How romantic, to be married amid stacks of books. You can see more photos from Anne and Noah’s wedding at the Laura Mullen Event Design website. Congratulations all around, and hooray for love.
