Well folks. It's been a week or so since I've updated anything, and I really missed updating the blog! I'm so sorry I went away! I have a TON of new and fun things to update you all on, but I thought I would start with something VERY close to my heart: Spring!
Today is officially the first day of spring---I love spring. Everything about it. I love the rain (yes, I know, I HATE that our basement flooded with 5 inches of rain on Monday afternoon- but the rain gives way to better and brighter things, which leads me to my next item...). I LOVE the flowers. C'mon, you've heard it-- 'April showers brings May flowers.' Well, we get flowers in March, too. I walked outside of the house today, greeted by the 71* air, and looked down at my 'landscaping.' Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I have a black-thumb when it comes to flower raising, but I kid you not, I was taken aback when I saw these beautiful little purple flowers fighting their way through my poorly distributed mulch. I have no idea what they're called- and really, they are neighbors I didn't even expect to be popping up (I don't think...), but they looked at me with their 5 little petals of beautiful lavender and yellow centers and said: "we love you." They did, I swear.
I think they're weeds. Whatever, I haven't seen a real 'flower' in New England in 6 months-- they're staying; even if they bring the plague with them, ha!
To mark their glorious arrival, I've decided to launch my 'Spring Fling' limited edition coaster packs! I've created 8 different flowers--- you've all seen them, they're inspired by ALL of my invitation sets--- in 8 fun and springy colors. I can't get enough of them!! I have 30 packs for sale at my etsy shop, and have a few packs of individual flowers too (i.e. the packs are 8 of the same color and flower) available as well.
These, my friends, followers, and family, are my greatest creation. Sure, the wedding invitations and stationery are fun beautiful (I'm biased)-- but these, are 'me.' So JOIN me in celebrating SPRING!!

Also, those delightful little spring flowers that come up no matter how icky the ground or nasty the weather...they are crocuses. :-)
