Makin' wreaths, my first bit of letterpress

I've been making wreaths! It's that time of year, right?! I feel like I've skipped a season. I also feel like the luckiest individual ever---> the folks at The Disillery have made me tags and business cards that completely undo me. Letter press is pretty extraordinary and this place is great because everyone in there is so charming and in love with what they do. It shows in their work. They also get to use giant antiquated equipment daily so I'm kind of jealous.

Here are the first wreaths off the block, some sweet pea I grew {that's almost a lie, I plonked the seeds in the ground back in July, saw them come up out of the ground then I went overseas for 2.5 months and came back to a wall-seriously it's nearly two meters tall-of delightful peas. So they grew themselves I did t do much at all} and some letter press. They drew magnolia branches and flowers for me. Cassie and Elise at The Distillery you are delightful, talented women and I am ever so grateful.







{ps If you look closely, you can see a Lipton tea bag on the tiles. I saw it as I was taking the photo, went to move it and then left it there. Realism, you know}

I found my first bird's nest on a walk with my pal. I am always ridiculously jealous of people who find them. I did feel a bit sad that the bird had to make a new one but I'm fairly certain they wouldn't be able to pick this one up and they did a grand job of this one, maybe they enjoy the work
