While surfing the web recently I came across a great site www.finestationery.com that specializes in stationery. They carry the usual stationery items but what caught my eye was the cool stuff that you can get personalized.

Who wouldn’t love a set of plates with their name on it. I love the one that reminds the kids to “put the napkin on their lap”.
These plates would make a great gift for the couple who has everything.

Another one of my favorites is this giftwrap featuring a photo of your little one. How cute is that? It would make a nice keepsake in addition to whatever the gift was you wrapped it in.

If you are looking for a unique and personal gift to give for any occasion, check out these pretty paperweights. They would make a great gift for your bridesmaids. There are tons of cute designs to choose from.

Ok maybe not the best but a pretty good one. I don’t know about you, but I never have time to paint my nails. I usually end up doing it in the car on my way to whatever it is I’m going to. It’s pretty hard to balance that little bottle on your knee while in a moving car (especially with my husband’s crazy driving. Just kidding, you are wonderful in all ways). So I was tickled pink when I found this at my local Shoppers Drug Mart.

The Nic’s Sticks by OPI. It’s a nail polish stick. There is a brush on the end and the polish is inside. Pure genius. Why didn’t I think of that. There are lots of colours to choose from and it dries really fast.
Well worth the $9.99. It would be perfect to tuck into your bag on your wedding day for any touchups.

Cynthia was kind enough to share some of the photos from her wedding with me.

I love the fortune cookies with the personalized message. This is a great idea!

I love how the fortune cookie is repeated as a menu holder.

Congratulations Cynthia and Rob. Your wedding looks like it was beautiful! Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Cheryl was kind enough to send me some photos from her wedding last summer. She used green and chocolate as her colours.

Here is Cheryl and Brad. I love how Brads tie matches the colour theme! Cheryl looks gorgeous!

Cheryl and Brad’s favours were Root Beer and Lemon Lime Jelly Bellys in our Square Clear Top Tin with a Mini monogram and Light Green/Dark Green Saddlestitch Ribbon. Very cute!

Congratulations to Cheryl and Brad. We hope your wedding was everything you dreamed it would be!

Thank you for sending in your photos.

Laura asked us to create some custom designed chocolate bar wrappers for her wedding. She wanted to give chocolate bars to her guests as favours but wanted to make them unique by having a wrapper that was fun and whimsical.

Here is what we designed for her.

I think they turned out great and they were fun to design.

Laura was kind enough to send me some photos of her wedding which I must say looks beautiful. I love the combination of pink and orange and I think this looks lovely.


Laura and Tim.
