As many of you might have guessed, the idea of having a baby shower kinda freaks us out... but as you know we love to occasionally indulge in great food and wine. Sadly the later is not a viable option for all of us right now! So...
We are taking a little detour this week, with a quote that never made the final cut for our invites. In the search through our home library for quotes and inspiration I pulled out a book I had read end to end in just over a week earlier in the year. The book titled The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival was written by John Valliant, recounted the extraordinary events surrounding a series of Amur Tiger attacks in a Far East Russian community during 1997. Part thriller, part character study, part cultural documentary The Tiger mesmerised me with it's beauty and mystery.
The brilliant Carl Sagan is into something with this poignant quote from his artillery of awesome quotes. It makes me ponder. It makes me think. It makes me want to throw my Macbook Pro off my lap, get my arse off the couch and sprint around the block looking up at the night sky only to return home and hide under the covers from an unbearable feeling of loneliness.
Let's be frank, designing wedding invitations is a daunting task. Especially if you happen to be a graphic designer, Virgo and the groom to be. Its a once in lifetime project. So it was with a slight sense of dread mingled optimism that I opened my Moleskin and put 5mm fineliner to paper to begin thinking of ideas for our invitations.
