Greeting cards

These graphic greeting cards look just like old-school quilts.

Toby notepads

We just made this photo notepad on Pinhole Press (my friends' company) and I wanted to share. We're totally in love with it, and I can't stop staring at it on my desk. :) Now I want to make a bunch more with wedding photos and our favorite snapshots.

You can make your own photopad here. P.S. (Wouldn't they make adorable Mother's Day presents for moms or grandmas?)

Pinhole Press

My lovelies, have you heard of the new Pinhole Press? They have beautiful, simple photo products--like cards, books, framed prints and notepads. You personalize them with your favorite photos (wedding, baby, vacations), and it's really easy to do. The finished products are gorgeous with silky paper. Take a peek here.

(A fun side note: My friends launched Pinhole Press a few months ago. I'm excited to say that I'm partnering up with them this year and I'll be sharing new products and fun ideas on Cup of Jo. Hope you love them as much as I do!)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, my sweets! What are you doing tonight? On this day four years ago, I was feeling sad and lonely....and had no idea that I was only two weeks from meeting Alex. It goes to show that you never know what's right around the corner!

Gatsby wedding invitations

While Toby is napping, I wanted to share these gorgeous (and not-to-expensive) Art Deco wedding invitations. This etsy shop has tons!

Wedding menus

Chelsea (of Frolic fame) has the best DIY wedding ideas, which she has been sharing on Project Wedding. She just wrote about how to make your own wedding paper goods, using stamps and a white pen. How simple and pretty do these look? (I love that fork stamp!)

Car wedding invitation

What a cute wedding invitation! That's all. :)

Father's Day card

Cute Father's Day card by Rifle Paper Co. (It's on June 20th this year.) xo

A thank-you note a day

Leah Dieterich's mother always told her to write thank you notes, so she started a blog where she writes thank-you notes to everything in her life. So funny. (Let's do our own! What thank-you note would you write today?)

Thank you cards

My baby shower is coming up this weekend (I'm excited), so I've been looking for thank-you cards in advance. Love this bright number!

P.S. I also have a box of these, but they're so pretty, I can't bear to send them away, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Embroidered wedding invitation

Crikey! When Kate and Avi got married in Brooklyn last fall, Anna Bond created embroidered invitations. She sewed the design onto the paper, hand-painted the lettering, and finally scanned the art for printing. How beautiful is that? xo (Look at the teeny Brooklyn Bridge and the cute green parks!)

New York postcards

Wouldn't these five foldable New York City postcards be fun to mail to friends? I love the poppyseed bagel with lox!

Rad birth announcement

Love this birth announcement. The parents are so cool, and I love how the dad's hands are in his pockets. Very mellow of him. :)

A proposal story

For Christmas, I gave my friend Katherine a five-year diary, but I never would have guessed what would happen next. This weekend, her boyfriend Chad asked if she'd written anything in the journal for the day, and she said she hadn't. "He handed me the diary, and I opened it to February 6th," Katherine says. "He had written, in shaky, nervous handwriting, 'Will you marry me?'" Then Chad got down on one knee and pulled out a Tiffany's box, and Katherine said yes. What a romantic idea. Huge congratulations, you two!

Silhouette business cards

Postal Press just designed new silhouette business cards. You send in a photo, and they whip them up!

P.S. They also have a great imagination poster.

Deer notepad

This month, I've been using this baby deer notepad for random scribblings and grocery lists. How cute is he? Those wobbly legs!

Sycamore Street Press

The cards from Sycamore Street Press make me smile.

P.S. They also have a fortune teller!
