I came across the most adorable baby announcements ever! Have you heard of Hello Lucky!!?? They are a specialty letterpress printer and design studio and have been creating wedding invitations, greeting cards and personalized stationery since 2003. The founders are sisters and best friends Eunice and Sabrina Moyle. They co-founded Hello Lucky in 2003 with a vintage Vandercook press in Eunice’s garage.
They have several beautiful things but I absolutely adore the birth anouncements. The Dino Birth Announcements (pictured above)are too cute!
But this sweet elephant announcement is also on my list of favorites.
And I love the little lion announcement!
What’s your favorite? You have to go and see all of the Baby Announcement’s on Hello Lucky!

How cute are these?! These Flip Book Invitations were designed by Heidi from My Paper Crane. She designed these for her son’s 8th birthday which happened to be a costume party. These would be super cute for a Halloween costume party too!! Love them!
For these invitations, Heidi created a body/face template in photoshop and then just made various costumes/hats/hair for each costume. The last page in the little books was a solid page with all the party details. Then she used a comb binder to punch/bind them all.
Too fun! Right? I will have to keep this in mind for Halloween!

Growing up I always wanted bunk beds. Something so cool about them…at least I thought they were cool. Of course my parents didn’t think they were so cool. I was an only child so I didn’t have a brother or sister to fight the battle with them to get bunk beds either. But still to this day I think they are so cool. And so fun! Especially some of these I found along the web.
You have the traditional bunk beds and you have the not so traditional. I think of Aladdin when I see these. What do you think? Morocco?
But there there’s nothing wrong about the traditional bunk beds. Like these…
And one of my favorite ideas for bunk beds that also function as storage but also is a space saver. Love these!!
What do you think? Which is your favorite bunk bed room?

I’m absolutely in love with this Farmhouse Brunch Baby Shower styled by Trish from Frilly Milly Events! I mean what can’t you adore about the menu offering up creative treats like tiny cups of syrup topped with french toast triangles, maple bacon skewers, donut hole “trees”, heath bar coffee cake, and more?? My mouth is watering just thinking about this list of party foods!
For the decorations, Trish started with a base of all white (inspired by old milkglass), accented with soft pastels of pink, butter yellow and green. She turned a old wooden mirror into a white chalkboard. And instead of listing the menu on the chalkboard, she chose an old nursery rhymes. Which I love! It’s something that touchs every mother’s heart and speaks to us all!
I love, love, love this Brunch Baby Shower! Again, how could you not love it with all these details and the fabulous food! Like these sweets….yum!
Now go and see more from Trish and this beautiful Baby Shower.
