Winter may be far from over...but we can't help dreaming of spring. Both of these patterns, Chamomile and Daisy bring a little of early spring to the grey days of winter.

SO INSPIRED | Folk Fibers
Being lovers of all things hand-crafted, it's no wonder we are swooning over the work of (fellow Austin dweller) Maura Grace Ambrose of Folk Fibers. Her fabrics are hand dyed using natural dyes such as Walnut wells, Cochineal and Indigo and each quilt is totally hand stitched. We love this modern take on old-world techniques. Bonus! She was just feature in the latest Martha Stewart Living!
Congrats Maura!
Don't you just love that wooden box that each quilt come in? Simply gorgeous.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Stamp Inspiration | "Butterfly Garden" Invitation
We love butterflies...but butterflies in design can be tricky. Very tricky.
More often than not the designs go a bit cheesy and contrived and end up not really capturing the true beauty & essence of these gorgeous creatures.
This bit of inspiration is the exception, I think...keeping the colors soft and muted helps highlight the their structure & patterns without making your eyes cross.
Use this vintage butterfly print for envelope liners.
Use these vintage postage stamps from Verde Studio to complete the look.
We used paper and ribbon from Paper Source for this invitation suite. Here is a list of supplies needed:
A7 Luxe White Cards, A7 Luxe Blush Envelopes, 4Bar luxe blush cards, 4Bar Luxe White Envelopes, 4 Bar Luxe White Cards, Blusing Bride Silk Ribbon
1. Butterfly Invitation Stamp /// 2. Butterfly Reply Card Stamp /// 3. Butterfly Reception Stamp /// 4. Wildflowers Return Address Stamp /// 5. Antique Crest Monogram Stamp
What do you think? Would you consider a "Butterfly Garden" inspired invitation for your big day?

Scenes from the Post | Calligraphy Quotes
As a calligrapher, it is always fun for Emma and I to be able to collaborate on quote artwork for each issue of The Antiquarian Post.
Sometimes, the process starts off with the perfect inspirational words and the artwork is added (this was the case for the Sitting Bull quote, above). Other times, we have gorgeous artwork (like the tan & white butterflies, below) and I go on a hunt for lovely words to incorporate into the design.
Whichever way it happens, it's one of the best parts of the process for me. Spring may almost be succumbing to the sweltering heat of summer...but there is still time to enjoy it's delights!
