I'm always looking for new ways to get inspired in my design work! Liberty, based in London, has been open since 1875. Their fabrics include rich, saturated colors and gorgeous patterns – all heavily drawn from their own vast archive of designs influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements. It's a great place to get some fresh ideas for color palettes for stationery and wedding invitations.

Sooo, this has been a bit of a crazy year – not in a bad way, just jam packed. Every week, I think I'll have time to post, and it just doesn't seem to happen! I've got some fun things in the works, so stay tuned. And, huge apologies for the 10 months of radio silence. I'll be better, I swear!

Above are some photos I took last fall at Fripp Island in South Carolina. The beach in November is so beautiful!
