ink & peat - shop online!

Some of you who have followed this blog for a long time have mentioned missing my blog posts. I miss you too! But now I can tell you why I have been so busy - we just launched our webstore for ink & peat! Lots of hard work, but we are finally there. We have over 300 items but will continue adding as we get further into Fall. For those of you who have shopped our lovely store in Portland, Oregon but live far away - we now come to you! To thank you and welcome you to our new online boutique, we are offering 10% off your online purchase until October 31st. Just enter the word "welcome" (no quotes) in the promo code box when you are checking out.

You can find the shop at inkandpeat.com/store or follow the "shop online!" link at inkandpeat.com

Happy Shopping!

I've got my eye on you

Last night my sister reminded me of this fabulous line we had heard about while shopping in San Francisco last spring. Warby Parker is a great line of designer eyeglasses that are vintage inspired. I want to be clear - these are designer PRESCRIPTION glasses or sunglasses for $95! They have a great selection, including a monocle, and will send you 5 pairs to try on for free with return shipping free also. And if that's not great enough, Warby Parker donates glasses to those in need. I think I might try the Mabel, how about you?

bright summer wedding

As the weather turns to fall in Portland, I thought we could use some color and cheer today! This is a charming wedding we did all the personal flowers for - here's the lovely couple Anna and Ivalle. They got married back in August at Sa-hah-lee Golf Course (with initial photos being taken at their hotel - The Nines). All the photos were taken by the talented Yasmin Khajavi. Go to her blog to see even more wonderful pics. Along with so much help from their friends and family, the planning was done by Hitched Weddings & Events. What a darling couple these two are. I love all the yellow, coral, and aqua colors they chose - especially in all the details - even right down to those gorgeous shoes!  What a playful collection of favors and decor details as well - I love seeing an event that is so well put together and it looks like everyone had a blast! The bouquets consisted of Bride-to-Be dahlias, billy buttons, zinnnias, Moscow coral roses, Girlie Follies peach spray roses, button yarrow, feverfew, fillament grass, coral hypericum, scabiosa pods, unripe blackberries, and geranium. Congrats to the happy couple!

3rd anniversary party this saturday!

cheerful friends

Love this poster called Friends of Violet over at Bodie & Fou. Studio Violet is a collaboration between Swedish designers Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker. I love all the quirky little characters, textures, and colors. So charming...
