the package: pretty, isn’t it?
I’m not even going to beat around the bush here: this is what i want for Mother’s Day. Felix Doolittle has designed the perfect gift for a stationery addict – personalized Collector’s Edition Note Cards, available in your choice of five themes. Each set includes eight illustrated notecards, printed on heavy stock (200 lb) and eight illustrated + lined envelopes printed with the return address.
personalized box
The box is personalized with the gift givers’ names (love the ribbon, and if it’s anything like other Felix Doolittle boxes it will make a great keepsake and storage box). To top it off, Felix Doolittle will even tuck in a giftcard to your mom (or whomever you’d like to give this to) with an envelope that reads “You’re the best”. I’m just swooning. The hard part will be deciding on a set, as I love all of the options:
blossoms
gardening
along the shores
my kitchen
very fruitful
You can view and purchase at the Felix Doolittle website. Plan ahead – Mother’s Day will be here before you know it!

I not only love the packaging for this tea, I love the simple glass canister. Definitely pretty enough to leave out. Bring on some iced tea weather, please.

Emmy Lu Design Studio, based in Minneapolis (yay Twin Cities!), has just launched their studio and wedding invitations. Designed by Laura Smetak and Bethany Hway, their first collection of 12 Signature invitation styles is inspired by different cities and regions. My favorite is the Chicago collection as I love its vintage feel and the clever use of labels, so I’m pleased to show you some detailed photos. Be sure to visit the Emmy Lu website for more information and to see the other styles, and catch up with Laura and Bethany at their blog, Pretty in the City + Lovely in the Country.
save the date: love the punches!

Anyone know of a 12-step program to beat a doughnut addiction? If you are what you eat, right now I’m a Top Pot doughnut. They call to me every time I’m at Starbucks, and I cannot resist.

How much do I love these animal postcards from MOMA? A whole lot, that’s how much. There’s also a zebra & a penguin. Alas, the sheep postcard is sold out.
