Suites for the Sweet.

My little sister is getting married, and I wanted to share these details from her invitation suite. I think they turned out so gorgeous. We had the invites letterpressed with a charcoal gray ink on thick cotton stock. And we decided to use vintage postcards for the RSVP cards, and so she and her fiance started collecting them- mostly images of old churches and cathedrals, but some of gardens and landscapes. We lined all the envelopes with handmade Indian woodblock paper, used vintage stamps for all the envelopes, then sealed them all with an antique gold wax. The best part of the project was spending hours assembling them together- sister memories are the sweetest!
Love you, Katie and James!

I was just looking through some of Clementine's old design materials for the logo and it reminded me to check in with your blog. Every time I see your script I just fall in love all over again. Thank you!!!

Hi Betsy Dunlop,

I love your work and was wondering whether you could write "Vivre pour mourir heureux" for me in your cool calligraphy style. I found it on this website:

Thanks in advance for any help! Keep it up,
