Thank you for all of the love and support this little corner of the internet has received over the past several years. As friends and family members were getting married, their weddings fueled the inspiration for this blog. But as seasons of life change, my focus, along with those nearest and dearest, shifted away from the wedding planning stage and I began to neglect this blog.

I have decided to indefinitely retire Calligraphy by Shannon in an effort to pour my attention into my lifestyle blog The Scribble Pad where I will be merging past and future inspiration boards and parties. You will still be able to place orders for calligraphy, custom invitations, and hand stamped items through my etsy shop. And as always, you can stay in touch with me under my moniker, The Scribble Pad on my blog, etsy shop, facebook, and even twitter! I look forward to sharing this new adventure with you.

MFB: Airmail Obsessed

Happy Spring! Goodness knows, it has not come to Washington, DC a minute too soon. 75 and gorgeous. And Friday. Sigh. Life doesn't get better than this.

So, our Save the Dates are in the mail, and hopefully have been received by many of our guests. Of course, since there is no rest for the weary, it's on to the next thing: invitations!

I've know for a long while that we were going to go the "airmail" route for the invites, and I am enthralled by the sheer number of wonderful airmail related paraphernalia in the interwebs.

Here are a few of my favorites, so you can get a sense of my direction. There are a good number of invites, but also a few other bits of ephemera as well.

This picture is from Etsy seller Huntershideaway, but I actually found these same envelopes much cheaper on Amazon, for $2.15 / box of 40 (free shipping, too)! We'll be using those.

You'll note that these are no longer available...hmm...I wonder why...?
