			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running a business and now being pregnant, I find myself making a conscious effort lately of trying to relax and breathe. When things get hectic I try and focus on things that make me happy and relaxed. Here is a little collection of photos that evoke peace and calmness over me. Hopefully they will bring a little bit of calm to your day!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/relax1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2480" title="relax1" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/relax1.jpg" alt="relax1" width="455" height="1630" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/relax1.jpg"></a>Yoga is a great way to bring peace to your life. I have been enjoying prenatal yoga myself lately. These yoga pics are by <a href="http://www.franceruffenach.com/?c=lifestyle_stills" target="_blank">France Ruffenach Photography</a>. Batter, frosting, cookie dough, all things that make me happy. Photo also by <a href="http://www.franceruffenach.com/?c=lifestyle_stills" target="_blank">France Ruffenach Photography</a>. I love <a href="http://chrischen.com.au/" target="_blank">this shot </a>of soft cozy blankets in soft neutral tones. This gorgeous water front, open air interior looks heavenly. Photo by <a href="http://www.jasonloucas.com/home.html" target="_blank">Jason Loucas Photography</a>. These pretty pale <a href="http://ngocminhngo.com/garden.html" target="_blank">pink flowers</a> remind me of laying down in a garden somewhere, gazing at the sky. Lovely!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been so excited to share with you the results of my &#8220;Mad Tea Party&#8221; I hosted this weekend. It was a small group of close friends and we sipped tea and ate tea sandwiches. But there really was something magical about having a tea party. It was so much fun, I cannot wait to have another!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty1new.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2476" title="aliceteaparty1new" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty1new.jpg" alt="aliceteaparty1new" width="455" height="1890" /></a></p>
<p>I propped the table with vintage mix and match tea cups along side vintage Alice in Wonderland books. I made drink me tags for each person that attached to their tea cup. Each person was named after the character they most resembled. That was really fun!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2472" title="aliceteaparty2" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty2.jpg" alt="aliceteaparty2" width="455" height="1328" /></a></p>
<p>I served store bought macarons and pastries and spent my time making homemade tea sandwiches. The tea sandwiches, though very simple in ingredient list, are quite spectacular I must say! Each guest received a &#8220;Guide to Wonderland&#8221; packet that included their movie ticket, a tea menu, and a tiny &#8220;open me&#8221; envelope. Inside the envelope I tucked little mini cards adorned with Alice graphics and Alice quotes. There is so much imagery to pull from that I had a blast including all sorts of Alice in Wonderland subtleties.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2473" title="aliceteaparty3" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aliceteaparty3.jpg" alt="aliceteaparty3" width="455" height="1646" /></a></p>
<p>The strawberry macarons were a big hit. As was one of the guests&#8217; Mad Hatter hat! The teas I bought were from <a href="http://www.teavana.com/" target="_blank">Teavana</a> and were completely brilliant. If you are looking for unusual teas I highly recommend Teavana. After the tea party we all went to see <a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/aliceinwonderland/?cmp=dmov_dpic_aaw_psg_title_alice%2Bin%2Bwonderland" target="_blank">the movie</a>, which was fabulous I must say! I think this is such a great theme for a bridal or even baby shower!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a peek at some of the invites leaving our studio this week&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/goodmorning.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2460" title="goodmorning" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/goodmorning.jpg" alt="goodmorning" width="455" height="1011" /></a></p>
<p>This suite from the Soirée album, <a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/stationery/10/1/169/" target="_blank">Good Morning Love</a>, is so fun, bold and graphic. I adore the color palette this couple chose of sea + grapevine. We worked with the amazing people at <a href="http://watermarkstationery.com" target="_blank">Watermark Stationery</a> on this invitation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gardenflair.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2461" title="gardenflair" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gardenflair.jpg" alt="gardenflair" width="455" height="892" /></a></p>
<p>This gorgeous save the date is from the <a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/stationery/1/1/4/" target="_blank">Garden Flair</a> suite from our letterpress album. The beautiful impression on the fluffy cotton paper really worked in this pink and champagne color palette. We worked with the amazing ladies at <a href="http://www.mollyspaperie.com/" target="_blank">Molly&#8217;s Paperie</a> on this save the date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s always fun when a couple comes to us with a story. In this case, Casey lived in Chicago, and Steve lived in Southern California. The two met in Las Vegas and the rest is history! The couple has a fun modern style and wanted something a little less serious for their save the dates. Something that made mention of their story. We included a fun photo of the two along with a map of the US showing the path they took to find each other.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/casey1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2457" title="casey1" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/casey1.jpg" alt="casey1" width="455" height="1503" /></a>We used wrap around labels on pool envelopes, and the bride came up with the clever saying &#8220;What happens in Vegas didn&#8217;t stay in Vegas&#8221;. I think the save the date perfectly reflected the couple and their personalities which is what makes custom projects so much fun. They are always so different and so personal!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I finalize the details of my Mad Tea Party and <a href="http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/aliceinwonderland/?cmp=dmov_dpic_aaw_psg_title_alice%2Bin%2Bwonderland%2Bmovie" target="_blank">Alice in Wonderland </a>viewing party for this weekend I thought I would share my bits of inspiration that have help shape the event.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alice.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2443" title="alice" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alice.jpg" alt="alice" width="455" height="1454" /></a></p>
<p>From the top: These are a little sneak peek into the graphics that were used on some of the paper delights. This absolutely stunning Alice in Wonderland shoot via <a href="http://www.weddingchicks.com/wedding-chicks/favors-details/26461/alice-in-wonderland-bridal-shower-ideas/ " target="_blank">Wedding Chicks</a> is spot on. I adore the vintage china, drink me tags, and vintage books. Very much the vibe I will be going for this weekend. The photography was done by <a href="http://www.jessicafreyphotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jessica Frey Photography</a>, stunning!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alice2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2444" title="alice2" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alice2.jpg" alt="alice2" width="455" height="1117" /></a></p>
<p>How perfect are those white rabbit ears via <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41495643&amp;utm_source=bronto&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=Image&amp;utm_content=etsy_finds_030410&amp;utm_campaign=etsy_finds_030410" target="_blank">etsy!</a> These <a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/" target="_blank">vintage keys</a> spark the perfect feel. I am totally smitten with this cloche Alice Mushroom necklace via <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40949370&amp;utm_source=bronto&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=Image&amp;utm_content=etsy_finds_030410&amp;utm_campaign=etsy_finds_030410" target="_blank">etsy</a>. Brilliant! And of course <a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/shop/whats-new/a-very-merry-unbirthday.html" target="_blank">this new</a> Wiley Valentine letterpress card inspired many of the graphics used for the party. Love the UnBirthday!!</p>

<p>I am completely obsessed with this Alice in Wonderland inspired <a href="http://laurelavenuebakery.foodoro.com/store/products/tea-party-curio-box " target="_blank">Tea Party box</a> from the Bake Lab. Mushroom meringues, and eat me cookies and all! So absolutely perfect!! And don&#8217;t forget the mix and match <a href="http://www.vintagetouch.co.uk/" target="_blank">vintage tea cups</a>. Stay tuned next week for a look into my Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. Happy Wonderlanding friends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are few of the latest invitations we have done from our bridal album. Everything in our bridal album is flat printed on 100% recycled papers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/yolanda.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2437" title="yolanda" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/yolanda.jpg" alt="yolanda" width="455" height="1011" /></a></p>
<p>I love the fun pop of color that the orange/poppy color adds to this collection. This was a fun project. We used the <a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/stationery/3/1/30/" target="_blank">Yolanda </a>collection for a save the date for this couple&#8217;s 10th anniversary! We worked with the fabulous <a href="http://www.francisorr.com/" target="_blank">Francis Orr</a> on these invitations and we just love how they turned out. I also love the ecru paper option they chose!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alyssa.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2438" title="alyssa" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alyssa.jpg" alt="alyssa" width="455" height="892" /></a></p>
<p>We worked with the lovely Tammy from <a href="http://www.charmedplaces.com/" target="_blank">Charmed Places</a> on these <a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/stationery/3/1/29/" target="_blank">Alyssa</a> style save the dates. The couple chose a tone on tone effect with two different shades of green. And the kraft color envelopes happen to be my current obsession right now!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lpflat.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2426" title="lpflat" src="http://www.wileyvalentine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lpflat.jpg" alt="lpflat" width="455" height="1011" /></a></p>
<p>I am loving the neutral but very modern color palette of champagne + charcoal. This is a great way to use letterpress even if your budget doesn&#8217;t allow for everything to be letterpressed!</p>
