giant balloon awesomeness... 18 May 2011

Perfect for a celebrating a birthday {or any fun occassion}, these giant balloons of delight from Geronimo make me so happy. What started as gifts {that Geronimo-creator, Jihan, made for friends' birthdays}, are now custom pieces that can be delivered locally in Los Angeles or shipped around the country! Check out this sweet little film to hear more about these whimsical balloon troopers! — Joy

neon notes... 16 May 2011

I wasn't able to walk the National Stationery Show this year, but I love getting glimpses of what's debuting at this week's show. One of my favorites have got to be these neon letter pressed cards by Fig. 2 Design. I had the pleasure of seeing these designs in sketch phase as I worked with Claudia to consult and prep her for the show. I'm so proud of her and how the collection has turned out! These items aren't yet available in shops, but stayed tuned...I have a feeling you'll be seeing them in a bunch of shops soon! — Joy

the prettiest easter eggs... 22 Apr 2011

While lunching with my neighbor Elisa a couple months ago, she told me about the colorful Easter eggs she whips up every year. So just in time for this weekend's festivities, I had to share these colorfully patterned eggs with you! The eggs in the bottom photo were dyed traditionally using Ukrainian dye and tools, including beeswax and candles, while the top image eggs were simply covered with chap stick and dipped in different colorful dyes. So fun! Thanks Elisa! — Joy

travel + love... 24 Feb 2011

With wedding season fast approaching, I wanted to share this new invite I created for Wedding Paper Divas that I'm extra excited about. Inspired by travel and vintage stamps, the mix-and-match invitation set feels just right for a destination wedding or for the couple that loves travel and adventure. Available in two color ways, bright and neutral, the digitally printed pieces come on a gorgeous textured stock. I'd love to see them complemented with vintage stamps on the outer envelopes {like the ones shown in photo from The Postage Service}. — Joy
