Here they finally are!! The invitations that were inside the hand lettered schooner envelopes were created with a few pieces included! The invitation was lettered in navy blue ink and has a rope design at the top and bottom to set the nautical mood. The reply card has a compass rose created especially for the couple (and was used on their save the date card too!). This card is done in the old fashioned way...allowing space for the guest to write a little note of acceptance. This is such a fun way to do the reply card by the way! The notes we got back were GREAT! There is a card with a picture of the ferry that will take the guests from the mainland in Portland over to Peaks Island and reminding them to not miss the boat! And the reception card has a watercolor rendering of the Inn where the reception will be held. Each piece is done in navy blue calligraphy and the designs are all original. It's so much fun to do a wedding "soup to nuts" like I am doing for Katie and Brock! More pieces coming soon...
Hydrangea table signs to match.....
In my defense, I believe we have determined that I am not a pro photographer...that said...this was taken before heading out the door to give the beautiful bride the seating chart for her wedding tomorrow night! Do I love doing these pieces!! They are so much fun and they make a great statement when the guests enter the reception hall. This is one of my all time favorites! The hydrangea colors are fun to work with and Jen named her tables after things that are special to the couple...places around South Boston, streets where they have lived, and of course their dog, Tank! And after the wedding, it's a piece of artwork to have framed as a memory of the wedding day. We have ours right on the wall facing the entrance of our house. Many wedding blessings to Jen and Rocco! Have a wonderful night tomorrow night and thank you and my good Pub Pal Keryl for allowing me to create this piece for your brother's Wedding day!! 
We have so many of these photos taken by Bob, we've started calling it our famous photo. Another picture of us with the camera held at Bob's arm's length!
What a beautiful picturesque walk we had on our anniversary weekend up in Portland, Maine. These are some photos that are inspiring some great new beach theme ideas for cards, invitations and other artwork. As my Mum always said when we were kids...people pay thousands of dollars to come and vacation here for a week! And we have this in our own backyard every day. I can't believe I am saying it myself, but it's so true! Boston to the south, Portland to the north and living in the NH seacoast area is so cool!
