Aspen Winter Wedding

Continuing on our post from yesterday, here is a custom invitation for an Aspen Wedding in the winter season. Incorporating an iconic photograph from Berko is an open invitation to all guests to pack up the wool sweaters, dust off the skis and book a ticket to Colorado. Vellum with grommets, ski tag insert, old black and white photos and a beautiful black ribbon creates an elegantly rustic and classic Aspen invitation. Whether the weather is snowy or sunny, this invite is sure to get guests packing for a destination wedding.

Welcome to Aspen

No matter if your wedding is in the winter, spring, summer or fall, it is always nice to welcome your guests in style. Here is a great Welcome Letter that includes all the wedding weekend activities in Aspen, including where to go and how to get there. We love giving guests as much information as possible. It keeps everyone happy, especially the bride and groom - as less phone calls from lost and confused guests equals more time enjoying your wedding weekend.

This welcome letter was inspired by the famous photography of Ferenc Berko. Early Aspen images are incorporated into the Welcome Letter, as well as the invitation (check back tomorrow for that post!).

Peanut's Shell is The Peanut Shell

Attention all new mamas out there, and moms to be! You've certainly seen the Peanut Shell around town and we want to tell you we give it a full fledged two thumbs up! Not only do we sell the Peanut Shell, we wear them too. Erin sports not one, but two of these at all times to carry Baby A around the house and around town. OK...that isn't us looking like one hot mama leaning against a Chevy Camaro (photo via the fine people at The Peanut Shell), but that is exactly how we feel when we nestle baby in for a ride in the sling. Free to go, free to do and most importantly, two free hands! Baby loves to be close to mom and mom loves how easy it is to throw the sling in the diaper bag when it's not in use. Small, compact, washable and totally lovable.

Wanted: Margaritas

It's that time of year to knock back a few cocktails in honor of Cinco de Mayo, when people everywhere honor and celebrate Mexican heritage. Here is an invite we love, but don't fret it you missed out on planning a party for today. These are appropriate for a celebration all summer long.

Where We Work

For all you readers out there who have never been in our shop and wondered what it looks like, well, here is a little snapshot of how we work and what we do. This is the custom ordering side of the business, where clients get inspired and we get excited to spread a little stationery cheer. Our apologies for the poor photo quality. Camera Strap + High Counter + Curious Toddler = Bad News!

We'll try to post some new, refreshed photos of the store soon!

Colorfully Framed

We can't resist a bright punch of color to house our favorite pictures - especially any photos involving trips to the beach, margaritas and bright blue skies. (All three at once, prefereably!)
