Excited to share a little bit of press I received recently…check out the layout featuring Mew Paper in Well Wed New York Magazine. The story was about how to work a grey/silver, blush pink and fuschia color scheme–I think our menus and invitations fit the bill just right! If you’re planning your in the New York area, Well Wed is definitely a publication worth checking out. They also have divisions of the magazine for Vermont, Cape Cod and the Islands and The Hamptons. Thanks to the team at Well Wed for producing such a great looking layout and story!

Mew Gets Some Local Press–Danbury News Times

A few weeks ago I pitched a rough story idea to my local newspaper, and lo and behold they picked it up! With Valentine’s Day around the corner I wanted to encourage area residents to buy local, and have some fun with what many view as a “dreaded Hallmark holiday”. I scheduled an appointment with the reporter to come with a photographer on a Friday and I looked forward to it all week. When I had dinner with a friend the Wednesday before she said “Good luck with your interview tomorrow” and I reminded her that it was Friday, not Thursday.

Um, wrong. Thursday was supposed to be my day to get the studio all cleaned up and picture-ready. And then the doorbell rang. There stood the reporter and photographer right on time–I had totally mixed up my dates! The studio was a disaster, I was a disaster and I feared that the whole press opp would end in disaster! Thank goodness that they had a sense of humor, and spared me five minutes to put on a better shirt and a bit of lipstick! With a little quick photo styling (which really just means that I shoved all the piles of crap off of my desk onto the floor) you’d never know.

So, if you’re local to the Danbury/Bethel area, pick up a copy of today’s paper. Or, just check out the link on the News Times website.

Do you know Bridgett from Perideau Designs? I’m delighted to be featured in her Modern Monday series today. Each week she interviews a crafty entrepreneur–I love how she asks questions that really get to know the artist and her personality, besides just the inner workings of the business.

Thanks for the feature Bridgett!

A Mew Paper Arts wedding featured on The Knot

I admit it. I google myself on a regular basis. But it’s solely for business purposes, I swear! Sometimes I find something that my auto-alert misses. I’m glad I did it today because I found out that one of my all-time favorite weddings was featured on The Knot! This is the second Mew Paper Arts wedding featured in the Real Weddings section of the Knot. The first was my friends Jason and Liz who got married on Block Island in 2007.

Miyon and Jason had their dream wedding (which incidentally was also my dream wedding) on July 22nd, 2008. They gathered a very small and intimate group of their nearest and dearest at the Dreams Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Jonilyn Photography captured the beautiful shots shown here in The Knot feature.

The stationery was done in shades of blush pink, fuschia and gold leaf. We produced tea-length menus (which Miyon embellished herself with coordinating ribbon), tags for the favors and the paper parasols that Miyon gave to each of her guests, and my favorite–these darling Bride and Groom Chair signs!

Congratulations, Miyon and Jason on celebrating one year of marriage and for being featured in The Knot!

Featured: Modish Biz Tips, Do What You Love series

I definitely do what I love. And love what I do. So to be featured on one of my favorite blogs with the purpose of talking a little bit about my work is just the cat’s pajamas! (bonus points to whoever can tell me what the heck the origin of the phrase”the cat’s pajamas” is, by the way!)

Jena Coray, (who knows I love those curly locks) the blogging superstar behind Modish posted my interview in the Do What You Love series over on her sister blog Modish Biz Tips. Go have a read! For any indie business owner, this blog is a “must” to add to your daily blogreader. I’ve gleaned so many valuable tidbits on everything from how to properly submit to bloggers, to the ins and outs of estimated taxes.

What do you do for a living? Do you love it? Do you dream of something different? Got any plans to take a giant leap?
