Happy Thanksgiving!

On this Thanksgiving Eve, we want to tell you, our wonderful readers, how thankful we are for you!

You make each day here at 2 Hearts B 1 Designs a joy and a pleasure. You inspire us, challenge us, and most importantly, encourage us to do what we love! Each and every project we're a part of, whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or a special dinner, is a privilege. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the special moments in your lives, the ones that we look back on for years to come! It truly is our honor and joy :)

{Gift Idea} A Basketful of Thanks

Hi 2 Hearts readers!

We have a lovely gift basket to show you today, that would be perfect as a hostess gift or even a birthday gift. This basket is filled with all kinds of fall goodies, and anyone with an eye towards the simple pleasures and style will appreciate it.

The basket is filled with gourmet teas, chocolates, soaps, candles, and a few other personal items. We created this basket for a client, so the items are geared toward her preferences of course. If the person you're gifting this too likes to cook, try putting in a few pretty wine stoppers, festive spatulas, or dish towels. If they like to read, put a favorite magazine or book, and maybe a mini book light. If they are a foodie, put in some spiced nuts, some homemade treats, or a gift card to a favorite restaurant. The options are endless with personalizing a gift basket like this! While the central theme is fall, you can easily incorporate the tastes and style of the receiver by wrapping the items in coordinating papers and ribbons that echo the gorgeous colors of the season.

Also, our basket is on the larger side, but this concept can easily be scaled down and put in a smaller basket with a few thoughtful items. Why not show your thanks to the person hosting Thanksgiving this year (or to a special friend, or your child's teacher) by putting together a personalized, thoughtful gift basket like this one? Tie on a beautiful tag with their name written in calligraphy and you have a gift that is sure to let them know how much you care.

{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!

So Thankful...

Here at 2 Hearts B 1 Designs we wanted to take a moment to tell you, our readers, just how thankful we are for you. Without the love and support of our friends, families, and loyal clients, we wouldn't be where we are, doing what we do, taking joy in creating beautiful things each and every day. It is because of you that we get to do what we do. And we are truly thankful :)

We hope that this week you got to spend time with family and friends, enjoying the beauty of today, and reflecting on the blessings that can be found all around us.
