We have had some nice press recently about our address stamps.  Thanks so much to Amy with Sincerely Yours Paper for your sweet blog on our lettering that added to your stamp wall!

Photos by Amy – it was tough for me to choose my favorite so be sure to click the link and see more of the lovelies.

And a big thanks to Alyssa with More Lane for your quick blog of the “I can hardly stand it & must share” variety after receiving your new stamp. :-)

Happy clients = a very happy calligrapher!

{PS} – I have some wonderful posts planned over the next few weeks for projects with Mrs. Amy Nelson Hannon that I cannot wait to share.  You will love our little collaborations!

I have been a bit in love with maps & cartography for some time and recently have been looking for a giant map to hang in the studio space.  Here are some of my favorites.  Which ones do you like?  I’m having trouble deciding!

Hello! If you are a Dallas local then you might have seen a great full page ad by Ebby Halliday Realtors this past week in the Dallas Morning News. Guess what – I have partnered with Ebby and The Wedding Party Studio on their new campaign :-)Let Ebby find your love nest – and The Wedding Party Studio do the rest for all you recently engaged out there.
You can also pick up the new publication Pages by The Wedding Party Studio at Exhale Spa, Lash Studio, The Magnolia Hotel, The White Gown Showroom, Patsy’s, Warron Barron or Bachendorf’s for more information… plus so great eye candy & helpful tips in planning your day.

Hooray. I love this next product. Completely custom. The house is a hand drawn rendition of your house! (yes, send me a picture of your house and I make a drawing from it!). The lettering is of course by hand and it all comes together in either a fold over note or a half sheet stationery set.

Sometimes teachers deserve much more than an apple of thanks, try this wonderful chalkboard candle available at Delight for $19.50. Made from 100% soy wax and unscented; a perfect gift for the most sensitive noses.

Recently I have been scouring the web for acceptable lighting for my home. This hand blown glass pendant is pretty cool. Nothing but the bulb, no distractions. Perfect for mood lighting… in the bar or above a strategically placed Barcelona chair would be perfect. A bit pricey at $350 a pop and available on lumens.com
