Summer is...homegrown tomatoes.

"Emily Abby"

An envelope in the "Emily Abby" style-- myfavorite font to do, hands down.

Chocolate and Pine Nut Tart

Here is a picture of a tart that I made for our anniversary a month ago. I think we decided that we like Molly Wizenberg's chocolate truffle tart better, but it was still a definite treat-both to bake and to consume. Mmm.
Find the recipe here.

This isn't the best photograph, but here is a picture of the wedding I did this week with bright pink ink for a bride currently living in Australia!

The "Jill"

Everyone seems to be drawn to the "Jill" font lately- Here it is above, being featured on Snippet and Ink (thanks, Kathryn!) and then below-- the materials for a birthday party happening in Woolloomooloo, Australia. Woolloomooloo. That is insanely fun to type.

And here is stark white ink on deep brown envelopes for a wedding I did over the weekend for a bride in New York City.

Here is my lettering on the front of a cafe in Barcelona, Spain! I guess I'll need to take a trip to check it out!

Action shots

Here are two shots from a wedding that happened in Florida last month. Love that bouquet!

Maggie May

Here is a picture of my family's dog, Maggie, when she was just a pup. My sisters and I grew up with her and she is present in so many of our childhood memories. She loved eating all our "little girl" items, like our tubes of Lipsmacker chapstick, and our lacy little socks. And when I say "eat," I truly mean eat. She would just swallow them whole!

My parents had to have her put to sleep on Monday afternoon; she was almost 17 years old, and not doing well at all. I was lucky enough to be able to say goodbye to her that morning. We all loved her so very much and will miss her so greatly. It is so hard to say goodbye to beloved pets. We love you, Maggie!

Simple Wedding Site

I am working with a bride in San Francisco, and she turned the Save-the-Date script I sent her into an awesome little wedding website. I love the simplicity of it!
See it here!

wedding upon wedding...

Everyone keeps asking me to post more pictures of jobs I am working on, so here are some shots of wedding materials I did a while ago. I loved the yellow/ cream combo, and was sad to send these off when they were done!

Again with the still lifes...

I can't get over these. I would love to move to the south of France and paint landscapes and still lifes. I am sure I could convince Nick to relocate pretty easily. Here is the website:

Her work is positively amazing and it was such a pleasure to work with her!

Check it out!

Rare Tucson Fog

This picture was taken on that amazing foggy morning about a month ago, right when we woke up and looked outside.

Job from Missouri...

White ink on chocolate-colored envelopes for a lovely bride in Missouri!

I have had the pleasure of working with so many brides from so many different states, most of them from New York. I should maybe get a little map going with pins, and see how many states I can collect--a grown-up version of the license plate game!

Clean sheets.

The online shop

Eating Out in New York

Here is a photo (taken from the website) of Lupa, the restaurant where Nick and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner while we were in New York. It made me want to try to do a traditional Italian dinner once a month....with several courses and dessert wines, etc. We'll see if it actually happens with our busy schedules!

Some of our other favorites were:

Corner Bistro, in the West Village area, which had amazing burgers and Stella Atrois, one of my favorite beers,

Sarabeth's, an excellent restaurant/ bakery where we also ate on our engagement trip,

Kitchenette, a little bakery that Katie and I stumbled upon on our trip the week before. I took Nick back to it because I loved it so very much!

We had such an excellent time on our trip, and I will try to post some of our own photos later!

(All photos in this post were found online, not taken by me.)

Guggenheim International Gala 2007

This is a photo of the table with all the escort cards that I did at the Guggenheim International Gala 2007!
This is the place card/ auction paddle with the menu on the back.
I will post more photos from our trip soon!

Guggenheim!

Just a couple of weeks until the Guggenheim event! Can't wait to be in New York again!

Lovely Letterpressed Placecards

These lovely stacks are place cards for the sweet Senoir Editor of Lucky Magazine...I'll try to post a better picture later; sometimes I am so rushed that the only picture I can take is on the "school camera," but I think I might have taken a few other pictures at home--I'll check.
