While leafing through the September books I came across these great envelopes. Bari Zaki has affixed vintage postage to her envelopes that are completely mailable with no additional postage required. Each envelope is one-of-a-kind… the ones shown are examples of what one might recieve. The envelopes themselves are reproductions of various envelopes she herself has received. Such a wonderful idea for distinctive correspondence!

Lisa from Good on Paper emailed me this morning to announce her new line of screened cards. The cards feature an adorable bird motif and are printed with vegetable inks on recycled paper. Great color combinations, as always. Lisa also has a new card called With You All the Way that she designed in the memory of her cousin Gary. 100% of the proceeds of this card benefit the American Cancer Society.

Beautiful typography and design at OrangeBeautiful. Also offered is custom bookbinding, examples of which are shown in the portfolio… lots of gorgeous custom books that appear to be scrapbooks and photo albums. Love the monogram above as well as the line of greeting cards that debuted at this year’s Stationery Show.

Top invitation studio Ceci has updated their portfolio with new custom invitations that are in the trademark gorgeous Ceci-style. Each section begins with a few new weddings worth checking out. Love the Save-the-Date for Ellie & Mike with great old-world style. Adriana & Tony’s invitation is so romantic and the above invite for Lourdes & Tyler features lush botanical illustration. Love!

Gorgeous watercolor illustrated wedding invites at Ilee. They also do some lovely hand calligraphy and monograms. Love the illustrations of the little buildings and all the botanical work. (of course!) Great color, delicate brushwork. Lovely lovely lovely.

Lovely & varied work from Elizabeth Hubbell Studio. Gorgeous calligraphy is letterpressed onto cards, sweet illustrations adorn baby announcements. Some really great formats here including a little baby announcement book about a little girl born in the year of the monkey. Too cute.
