A very big and busy week.
Maggie and Trevor’s wedding invitations went off in the post last Friday. I should be getting my samples in the mail today. I can’t wait to hold these letter press lovelies in my very own hands! I will certainly snap photos and post them this week but gut says that Maggie may beat me to it and post them at Eat Drink Marry first! It’s a very busy week over here at Bespoke Stationery. I have three June Brides that need serious invitation attention *it’s time to get finalized on designs and think about going to print soon* and TWO brand new baby announcements to design. Hooray!!!
On the personal side of things, I have an apartment to organize before our B I G move. We will attempt this move in two stages. On April 15th we will commence with stage one of our move to the Cipriani Residences. We’re moving just clothing and minimal essential items. I am super duper excited to get to spend the next two months in such uber-luxurious surroundings! The apartments are all designed by Tsao & McKOWN (GORGEOUS!) The building offers full access to the Cipriani Club and hotel-concierge service. (THRILLED!!) This should be a cushy way to spend a few months and ease the pain of being separated from all my lovely collections!
After the 15th and before the 23rd everything else needs to be carefully packed. *I have been collecting breakables since I was 12 years old and have more china than most 78 year old women!* Everything is going to be sent to storage. This is going to be the hardest part of moving for me. Once we figure out what we are doing and where in the world we are going we’ll move everything to our new permanent spot. Until then …. cookbooks, collections and all the things that inspire me will be packed away. Boo!

… H E R E we go … let the fun begin …

Yay for starting the next chapter in your lives! I really can relate to how hard it is hard to be without your things, but at least you have an amazing place in which to spend your transitional phase. xo

Thanks Courtney – You did go through the same thing, didn’t you? How long were you in boxes before you got to see your *stuff* again??
We decided to go to someplace glam like 55 Wall to take the sting out of leaving our lovely home behind. The good news is that we are free as birds to move anywhere in the world! Exciting.

Saw the invitations over at Eat Drink Marry and I just love them—what gorgeous work you do! And I’m so thrilled they’re getting such much-deserved appreciation!
As for your move—yikes! Sounds intense! I just packed up all my delicates last night and it was so painstaking…I’m terrified at the thought of anything breaking! So much of it is stuff we got after the wedding, so I didn’t have to deal with it the last time we moved…my heart goes out to you!
