Well the sun may or may not be out where you are {it cannot make up its mind here in Rhode Island}, but it certainly is warm! I have not been to the beach yet, but this invitation makes feel like I am there. This couple is getting married on Cape Cod this summer & wanted a very distinct, yet simple beach theme. I created a custom illustration of a picketed beach fence & grass, along with a custom pattern for the envelope liner. The couple loved boats so I incorporated a simple row boat into the rsvp design. Nothing says surf & sun quite like the bright yellow & blue palette, right? I will never growd tired of such a cheery yellow. These invitations were gocco screenprinted on bright white, smooth 110lb stock.
Perhaps you will make it to the beach this weekend. It is a working weekend for me {most of my weekends are...}. Actually...speaking of work. As some of you who have been reading for awhile may know, I work for a local non-profit during the day {event planning, marketing, & such}. Like other non-profits & businesses everywhere, we were hit hard by a lack of funding this year. Thus, I have been asked to work part-time. A blessing in disguise, I say because now I will have two full days to devote just to Parrott Design Studio {& less nights where I am up until 2am I hope!}. It is an exciting chapter as I hope to make my way from part-time to full-time boss of me!
love. this.

Wow! Definitely a blessing in disguise! Sometimes I dream about switching to a part-time employment schedule - I could also use a few less 2 a.m. nights myself. Hopefully this will also give you some additional time to prepare for making the full switch soon!
Oh, and those little yellow fish are just too cute...
