Invitations and Champagne Glasses for a Vintage Tea Party Wedding (Invitatie si pahare pentru o petrecere de nunta cu ceai si aer de demult)

I love this trend of taking vintage things and bringing them back to life not just as museum pieces, but as new objects we can enjoy day by day or in days that have a special meaning to us.

I found these cameos at a vintage fair and bought them together with other vintage jewelry. I kept them in my stash foe 1 year waiting for that perfect project where they would fit naturally. Here they are now in company of green velvet and lace, adorning these champagne glasses, waiting for that couple who will consider them just perfect for their special event.

I only have a pair of these glasses and cannot make any duplicates.

I also found a perfectly matching invitation in my 2012 collection.

As vrea sa dedic acest articol Andreei Stanciu.

 Candva, datorita unei romance rau-voitoare am renuntat sa mai scriu pe blog in limba romana. Era si asa un efort destul de mare sa fotografiez, sa editez pozele, sa scriu cateva cuvinte chiar intr-o singura limba.
Ieri, povestind cu Andreea la targul de nunti, imi marturisea ca ea nu poate citi ceea ce scriu pentru ca nu intelege cu usurinta limba engleza. Pana la urma eu scriu pentru persoane ca ea, al caruor suflet pot rezona cu ceea ce simt, gandesc sau creez. Am hotarat deci sa fac din nou efortul de a scrie in limba romana, dar nu ma oblig sa scriu de fiecare data, sau sa traduc intocmai versiunea din engleza. As vrea sa incerc sa scriu doar pentru oameni ca Andreea...sa incetez sa ma gandesc ca pot citi si cei care ma copiaza, cei care ma critica, cei pe care nu-i intereseaza viata mea personala.

Acum trebuie sa plec din nou la targ. Si daca din punctul de vedere al majoritatii participantilor acesta editie de toamna a fost un esec, pentru mine a insemnat o redescoperire a ceea ce sunt, a motivatiei pentru care creez, a scopului pentru care exist.

Multumesc, Andreea.

Vintage Garden Party Invitation

Ana has chosen her vintage garden tea party invitations so I am continuing to show you the designs she didn't choose.
For this one I replaced the wax seal with a large paper bloom made by my friend Laura. I am loving the large blooms although they can only be hand delivered.

Along with the distressed flowers the linen finish envelopes and paper play a big part in the vintage feel of these invitations, yet they also feel fresh like early spring air and moss odor.

I know you can't smell an image but I am sure that one day when we meet in glory and our senses will be perfect we will be able to do that. How about touching sounds or tasting food with our eyes?

Garden Tea Party Invitation 1

I have promised you a more romantic theme for my future invitation designs, so here it is:
Introducing......

GARDEN TEA PARTY COLLECTION

They are inspired by more serene times, when people had time for an afternoon visit and tea. They are inspired by my dreams of lords and countesses, by all the romantic novels that make my fantasy world a better place than reality.

I have been having a lot of requests for Jane Austen inspired invitations, vintage floral, vintage tea parties, so that is  what I am working on now. I have a few more designs on the same theme, so I will put numbers for easy identification.

See you soon!
