What’s New at Mew–Purple and Copper Wedding Invitation

The purple passion hasn’t died yet as you can see from this decadent invitation for Erica and Joe’s October wedding at Westport, Connecticut’s Inn at Long Shore.  Erica’s vision was classic, elegant and sophisticated–her decor elements include vintage style urns and mercury glass.  This will come together beautifully in this waterfront venue.

The invitation is oversized [...]

What’s New at Mew–Chandelier Damask Invitations

Black and white is such a timeless color palette, and it works perfectly with any pop of color that you want to add.  I especially like Melissa’s choice of bold, metallic pink to use as an accent.  The color scheme carries throughout her entire lakefront vineyard wedding.

Another testament to the power of the internet, and [...]

Perfectly Patterned PJ’s

My friend is going into the hospital for surgery on Monday and she’ll be laid up for a good 8 weeks.  Rather than send her flowers in the hospital (which I know she’ll get plenty of) I wanted to send her a pair of comfy pj’s for while she’s resting.  On a quick trip through [...]

What’s New at Mew: Kaleidoscope Envelopments Invitations

Purple, purple and more purple!  This is the third wedding collection I’ve done in as many months with the theme color being purple.  And to confirm the obvious, even the trendspotters at the National Stationery Show said what a hot color it was for this season’s weddings.  And no, I’m not even sick of it!
Oh, [...]

Secret Vacation

I did it…I snuck away for a few days.  Finally, we got back to the beach for the first time in two years, since our honeymoon.  It was sort of spur of the moment, and it was way too short–but very sweet.  We joked that the trip did two things for us:  1) remind us [...]

Cat + Vet = Violent Disaster

Though I’m not a parent, I think I can totally relate to that feeling you get when your kid is totally acting up in public and people are looking at you funny because nothing that you do seems to get him to behave.
I guess you probably think it’s a little weird, but since I don’t [...]

Help! I NEED new slippers.

Yeah yeah yeah, I realize that to many of you, my need for new slippers is not nearly important enough of a topic to dedicate an entire blog post to.  However, in my mind, it is of utmost importance, in fact.  Working from home, it’s all I wear throughout the day–I do not like germy, [...]

An unofficial guest post from my Granny

I informally introduced you to my Granny some time ago, when I told you about one of my favorite collectible items that she gifted me one year.  Today, I re-introduce you to her, in this unofficial guest post.
Here’s the back story:  last year, Gram had to put her beloved cat “Puth” (no, I didn’t misspell [...]

Giving Back with the Girl Scouts

A few weeks ago, after an article about my business ran in the local newspaper, I received an e-mail from (what I thought was) a woman who was a Girl Scout Leader inviting me to come and speak at an event to help young girls learn about having their own businesses.  I said yes right [...]

February is for Lovers

There’s always so much love in the air in February!  I may be a scroogey Grinch around Christmas time, but I definitely get in the spirit for Valentine’s Day.  Maybe it’s because there is the promise of spring right around the corner.  I have fond memories of Valentine’s Day growing up–my dad would always come [...]
