studio glimpse: farewell paperie

Beautiful sampling of custom designs by Farewell Paperie.

Envelopes and assorted inventory - paper lover's paradise!

Pretty art collection.

Where the magic happens! Don't you love the color test prints in the background?

Sir Harley, resident cutie canine

I feel super fortunate to have met Jen and Lisa of Farewell Paperie at the Tradeshow Bootcamp session in LA this last February. I really hit it off with both of these lovely ladies and their line of paper goods is a brilliant mix of laugh out loud funny wit and just plain gorgeous design.

Farewell Paperie just relocated their studio headquarters to Seattle, WA earlier this summer; their studio is located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle and is in such an awesome space!

I had the pleasure of taking a little peek around last month and meeting studio dog extraordinaire, Harley, seriously - this guy is a charmer. Keep your eyes on this talented duo, I'm sure there will be some fun open studio events to come and definitely more fabulous product on the horizon. Thanks again, L & J!

united states of cupcakes

I don't usually think of myself as a patriot, but I do firmly believe it's unamerican to feel apathy or, worse yet, disgust for cupcakes. Just saying... You know who you are.

I had the divine pleasure of eating a snickerdoodle cupcake from Trophy Cupcakes in Seattle today. They are one of my all time favorite cupcake destinations. Needless to say, this baby did not disappoint. I'm not even a huge snickerdoodle lover, turns out it tastes even better in cupcake form. But, seriously - doesn't everything?
