In just a few weeks, it feels like our current winter wonderland has been (and will be) forever – but we’re already in the latter half of February, and spring will come again. Eventually. We’ll keep looking ahead to longer, warmer days, and glance back at more festive times and our 2015 holiday cards and […]

We hit the ground running this year, with a new issue of Don’t Take Pictures in the works, more wedding invitations on the docket, and plenty going on around Boston. Here’s a look back at the holiday season and the start of the new year! L-R, top to bottom: 1-pressing New Years sandwiches with the […]

We’re getting started on the next issue of Don’t Take Pictures and working on our own holiday stationery this weekend, but just over a month ago, Brenda and Jake celebrated their marriage with friends and family in Sturbridge. The couple’s Save the Dates, designed by the groom, were dead ringers for Ticketmaster concert tickets. When we set […]

It’s officially been one year since Jack and I closed on the house and hunkered down to do some work: we’ve tackled crucial repairs and less-crucial upgrades, and though we’re still far from finished, we’re still standing. We are incredibly fortunate to have professional help in the family, and eternally grateful to my parents for […]

There are some really great things about living in Boston and eating and drinking and socializing in Boston and biking in Boston.

We’ve been tackling house projects so we can get back to business as usual, and working on a site overhaul, Don’t Take Pictures, and wedding invitations to boot. […]

We’ve been in marathon mode for a while now, and have loved watching our Boston poster pop up in Etsy treasuries and around the web; when Lindsey at More Awesomer reached out to ask us to join a Boston-themed giveaway of local goodies, we jumped at the chance. And though the marathon has come and […]

It’s officially April, and today felt this close to spring. Even if New England weather is refusing to relent, runners the world over have entered their taper for the Boston Marathon; having been one of those runners, early April marks spring and marathon season no matter what. This year is more emotional than most, and […]

Formal, copperplate script calligraphy is a beautiful, elegant and timeless addition to invitations—and we’ve done it!—but it’s labor-intensive and, accordingly, expensive. On the other hand, addressing envelopes yourself can be tedious and frustrating, and printed labels might not have the festive feel you’re looking for. Casual calligraphy is a great option, and I’ve been doing […]

Last week, we wrapped up work on the second issue of Don’t Take Pictures, and sent it off to print. We’ve really loved working on the layout for this magazine and discovering the featured artists, but having this out of the way bodes well for the wall we’ve been trying to finish at home. Thank […]
