#129 Poster Wedding Gift

More poster art, this time from gus and lula.
Bit cute as a wedding gift?

The small size is $14 & large is $20, custom orders are also available which could be very fun?
The sunshine lyrics poster is my favourite. All three of these would also be super sweet in a children's room!
Gus and Lula also has a blog, full of cute as a button baby photos & gorgeous home design.

#118 Wedding Art

I love these personalized vintage style posters from Alexander & Co, such a great idea! I've seen people use posters as their guest book by having a slightly larger mat & having their guests sign it & this would be a perfect choice if you wanted to do that.
Names, locations, dates, type colour & hair colour are all customised.
I also think the location options would be a lovely gift in memory of where you met, your first date, where the proposal was or perhaps even of a holiday you took together?

 
  
  
  
  

There are also save the date postcards & thank you cards available which would be a great option for those looking for something a little more unusual, & magnets which would make fantastic save the dates or favours.

 

There are a lot more designs available, I had a tough time picking which ones to post!

#114 First Anniversary

The traditional first anniversary gift is paper.
How about these hand cut silhouettes from another ridiculously talented Boston based artist, Joe Bagley?

First Anniversary Gift Paper Kissing Couple on Bike- 8x10

First Anniversary Cut Paper  - Two Women Couple on Bikes- 8x10 First Anniversary Cut Paper  - Gay Men Couple on Bikes- 8x10

I think they would look sensational mounted to 'float' in a box frame...

And perhaps if by the one year anniversary a baby is on the way, this could be an option?

Did you, or are you & your partner doing the tradition anniversary gift order? Or anniversary gifts at all?

#108 Rob Ryan

I first saw Rob Ryan's work late 2009, he works from London, England & his art includes lasercuts, ceramics, screenprints & textiles.
If I'm being quite honest, I think it's quite different to the art I am usually attracted to? Regardless I fell rather immediately head over heels.
'You are my universe. Moons circle planets and planets circle stars, stars and galaxies rotate eternally and you and I circle each other for you are my universe entirely and i will always be yours.'
'We Had Nothing, We Had Not Much, We Had Enough, We Had Everthing' P.S.Please Don't Ever Let Me Have Too Much'
   
”Can We? Shall We? One day very soon, let us go away together just you and me. Can We? Shall We? Call in sick one day and travel to the sea and hold hands all day. Can We? Shall We? Eat our sandwiches on the train, get drunk on fresh air and come home tired and never tell anyone.... Ever.”

'I can't forget and I never will you smiled at me and from nothing something came now the world is new to me again I will remember still you smiled at me and now I dream a dream of good.'

'Every night at the same time, I pick a star, hold it tight and think of you a thousand miles across land and sea, I feel you in my heart thinking of me.'
'These same stars and this same sky hang over both you and I, In our dreams and in my heart, they help us feel less far apart.'
'Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.'

 
'The key to my heart knows it will one day be found.' + 'The key to my heart has hope that is indestructible.'

And here is the gorgeous print that Mr N gave to me as a wedding present...

It's gorgeous (& huge) & I love it!

#25 ... and a happy New Year!



Ok so I've been fairly slack lately? I was starting to feel a teensy bit stressed about the planning rather than excited so I thought it best to have a break and jump back in all refreshed and what not...
So! To kick things off again, here is a little something that I find lovelyfull by the most very talented Rob Ryan...
Hope everyone had magnificent Solstice/Christmas/Hanukkah's (and anything else I've missed) & that the New Year is filled with love, laughter & all things wonderful!
