Gus & Ruby put together this lovely letterpress frame around what presumably will be a beautiful, happy family photo. We can’t wait to see the 2013 version!

In August, we had the opportunity to be a part of Gus and Ruby’s 4th Birthday! We wanted to share some of the amazing photos taken by Emilie Inc Photography from the event. I jumped on the chance to travel to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to help them celebrate, and what fun we had! Samantha and Whitney are some pretty incredible ladies, and their impeccably curated store shows their passion and knowledge for beautiful paper goods. The space was dressed to the nines for the event, complete with a huge display of Smock product, a treats table (did someone say Blueberry Lemonade Popsicles?), and a pinwheel craft station. All in all, it was a perfect way to celebrate 4 successful years of business….here’s to 40 more!
By simplifying the Dawson design, and using a smaller S5 sized card this classy letterpress save the date was created. The grass green ink is just the right touch for a spring wedding. Thanks Gus & Ruby Letterpress for sending this order our way!
