beautifully bespoke

I started this blog last month and doing decor8's Blogging Your Way course is really challenging my ideas and thoughts around my blog and why I'm here. I'm here to write about the beautiful and lovely things I come across .. and stuff in between. Something lovely I wanted to share with you were two prints that I have and love. From Bespoke Press who create gorgeous paper products, I discovered these guys when I was organising my wedding and looking for invitation inspiration.

All handmade in Brisbane and letterpressed with love, their prints are really gorgeous. The first one graces the wall in our bedroom...and the second is a surprise 1st wedding anniversary present for L (here's hoping he doesn't read this). Perfect - traditionally you give 'paper' for the 1st year (I think!). They ship internationally, you can find their shop here, and their blog here.

I love the work of Melangerie NYC. I first came across Melangerie when planning my wedding in April this year. Their work is so original and so hip - in that way only New York is capable of! I am totally biased as New York is one of my favourite cities in the world. Their genealogy charts and 'to have and to hold' totes are my favourite. Check them out at their etsy shop here, and also here and here.

Le Papier Studio Giveaway

The lovely Vana from Le Papier Studio is giving away gorgeous twine from the clever people at The Twinery. It's not your average twine, they come in luscious colours such as mandarin, lemondrop, peapod and cappuccino. I am dying to get my hands on some of this twine - the only twine I have been able to find is the normal brown/beige twine (which I love) from Bunnings!

To win yourself 1 of 4 spools check out Vana's 'Le Papier Studio' blog post here.

I will be posting about Le Papier Studio's Smitten Sticks in a future post...

Good luck!
