cute stamps for kiddos

a wonderful baby shower gift for your fave mom-to-be

p.s. our garden is bringing us so much happiness, and likely lots of tomatoes sooner rather than later!! To be prepared, do you have a favorite salsa recipe :)?

i appreciate that behind this label there are two mothers…moms that appreciate that clothes for children need to be sturdy for play.  and play we did!! i missed these children so much after the shoot was over!

it was fun to see an entire collection and the creative process that went into it – and oh the sweet details like the ric rac on a back pocket.  i absolutely adore the clothes, adore the children, and adore the great family of people that make up bella bliss!  so very honored to create a record of such a labor of love.

the above are just some of many darling items that our design service can custom create for you – your style, your favorite colors. you dream it, and we can do it. 

for so long, i've hoped to grow in this direction (and did do a few projects on a wee basis) and 2009 is the year…so if you have a celebration on the horizon and like cute paper as much as i do, please write!  4 weeks lead time is helpful (so there's plenty of time to design, get it to the printer and back to you for mailing…) – we're loving the incredible projects you've already sent our way (wedding announcements, holiday cards, thank you cards…) – merci!!

warmly, -melanie-

p.s. lexingtonian's, enjoy the warm weather and break from our recent snow & ice, i can't wait to eat lunch outside!

warmly,
Laura
