DIRTY LAUNDRY

I just wanted to pop in this morning and introduce you to a new SPONSOR here at H+H.  Please welcome DIRTY LAUNDRY. We love to share ways to personalize your party and make it special and the fabulous Jeanee over at DIRTY LAUNDRY can help you do just that. She makes those adorable cupcake bath fizzies that are all over Pinterest.

Now at DIRTY LAUNDRY you can order personalized sets for weddings, baby showers and birthdays with labels to match your shindig! How fun is that? Can you tell me a gal that wouldn't love this? A set of these would even be perfect for Mother's Day, maybe a simple label of "MOMS ROCK" and you can give them out, not only to both grandmas and your sis-n-law, but to each of your rockin' mama friends at that next playdate.

So please give Jeanee a big H+H welcome! Don't forget to check out her blog and her Pinterest boards, she finds the BEST stuff.

BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEA: PARTY TO GO

Give a party.  Yep, send your friend a party. My online BFF, Sharon of CUPCAKES AND CUTLERY sent me this kit via snail mail for my birthday back in November. Yes, I realize it is almost March.  I was going to post it and lost the photos. Well, I found a few (I think I accidentally deleted somewhen I was cleaning out my cards, sorry Sharon) and isn't this a wonderful idea? I am especially in love with the cake stand, which is hand lettered by Lauren of A FABULOUS FETE. Someone please tell that girl to make a font, or just come to my house and letter everything.

In the box, I got the lovely cake stand, a killer cookbook called SUGAR, SUGAR: EVERY RECIPE HAS A STORY by Kimberly Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero (YUM), Barefoot Contessa Cake mix (DOUBLE YUM), a cake server, decorating tubes, a handmade garland "HAPPY CAKE DAY" (she knows I love cake), a bunch of cute printables like the cake banner and some gilded lovelies to do with what I will!

Sharon did this for me last year. She is amazing and so thoughful.  Every detail was carefully planned out and spot on.  I mean leopard print, gold and green? How can a girl know me so well that I have never met! I heart you Sharon! Thank you!

FONT FRIDAY: ISSUE 31

 

Happy Friday!! You might have noticed I have done a little holiday decorating around here.  How cool are those green and white candy canes! The flavor is wintergreen.   Yes, I eat my props when I am done. There. I said it. 

It's our first font friday of December and I am bringing up a set of fonts that will be perfect for some Holiday invites. Our holiday decor is well edited kitch. I love the retro, fat jolly happy santas and frosties around here. I also love all the retro colors.  So, you know that I have a thing for hand lettering, vintage style and here is a gorgeous set of three called STUDIO LETTERING by HOUSE INDUSTRIES.   

I'm sure some of you font fanatics have already heard of them, but I found them through one of our friends, whose relative is one of the artists. I'm not name dropping, but I thought it was a funny way to find a new type foundry. One of those where I'm talking about posts and my hubby says "didn't you know about such and such" and I say "no-o-o"...then I go look...and squeak "OMG!!! They are amazing, how did I not know about this???"  HOUSE INDUSTRIES has a boat-load of awesome and I invite you to go look at all the goodness. They also have a ton of gifts for the font lover in all of us HERE.  I included their Neutraface Blocks in my Gift Guide.
