I love the creative ways in which vintage handkerchiefs have been incorporated into weddings recently! Whether
for Save the Dates, Invitations or simply for decoration- a collection
of these hankies in various floral patterns creates such a beautiful,
old-fashioned aesthetic.

Inspired by this concept, I designed some letter-writing paper
sheets in the style of vintage hankies. Guests can pick them off a line
to write little notes to the newlyweds and then hang them back up for
display!

In the same vein as this previous DIY
where I also explored the concept of 'Love Notes', these "Hanky" Love
Letters are a unique guestbook alternative for your wedding.

WIth all that has been happening in my life lately, I'd almost forgotten that Eat Drink Chic turned 1 year old on June 8! I can't believe it's been a whole year already!

Speaking of birthdays, this 'Bon anniversaire' cat paperdoll card by Livework is one of the cutest cards I've seen in awhile and it comes with a gorgeous little aqua envelope. I picked it up at a nearby paperie. It's also available online here at Pigeonhole. Be sure to check out the other cute cards in the paperdoll range.

The following are some facts about me that I should probably be too embarrassed
to tell you:
*I used to drink coffee, not for the taste, but for the swell of self-confidence from the caffeine high.
*I haven't read a novel in years because of the
lack of pretty pictures.
*I truly miss Lorelei Gilmore.
*I used to think the phrase was "It's a doggy dog world".
*Ice-cream is my greatest weakness.
*I've stopped watching Grey's Anatomy due to
a recently developed fear of mortality.
*I can't stand untidiness and mess. I am lazy and hate cleaning. Therein lies the conundrum.
*I've only just discovered the wonders of japanese novelty erasers
and suddenly the world is a better place.

Apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of days. Been flat on the couch recovering from illness with some help from old Will and Grace episodes! Feeling a lot better now :)
I've long been a fan of Ellie Snow's inspiring blog Mint and couldn't resist posting about her delightful calling cards available in her stationery shop Hello Tenfold. You can purchase a set of 50 that are customised to include your own details and come in different colours and patterns. I just think they're so creative!
