{Calligraphy Monday} Calligraphy Pumpkins

Hi there!

We hope everyone had a nice weekend. Ours were filled with weddings and high school reunions, so lots of fun was had!

Since we're in full fall-mode, we wanted to share this gorgeous idea that would be perfect for your mantle, front porch, or table setting this season. Calligraphy pumpkins!

We found this gorgeous photo via Pinterest, and fell in love! How lovely on your front porch!

We also love the idea of these mini pumpkins on your table setting. They serve double duty as decor and a place card!

And who doesn't love a monogram? These pumpkins would be lovely on a porch, mantle, or entryway table.

Oh how we love calligraphy...it simply makes everything better :)

Let us know how we can help with your next calligraphy project!

Happy Monday!

{Things We Heart} Paper Rosettes

One of the eye-catching party decor trends you're seeing right now is the paper rosette (or paper medallion).

How stunning are these yellow, gray, and white paper medallions displayed together as a collage-style backdrop for a dessert table?

As we gather ideas for our Easter table decor, I keep coming across these cheerful little medallions and how they can be incorporated in a multitude of ways.

For example, how adorable would this be for an Easter dessert display? I love the paper medallion showcased inside the rustic wreath.

And we LOVE this idea of using the medallion as a table number. This can be done elegantly for a wedding (as shown) or played up in bold colors for a bright and fun birthday party.

Paper rosettes can be a lovely touch to a special gift in place of a traditional bow.

Displayed artfully, they make a lovely and delicate wall display in an office or bedroom as well.

Happily for us, there are many paper rosette tutorials out there, but one we found especially easy to follow is this one from HowDoesShe. They take you step by step on how to create this gorgeous backdrop.

And for the month of April, Paper Source is holding a workshop on how to make rosettes.

I think there will be some paper rosettes in our near future. Easy, chic, and a fabulous effect!
