I really love Etsy and patronized it from the beginning, buying notions for my wedding and ties for my husband and all of his groomsmen from Cyberoptix Tie Lab. I also really love that words are being printed on wood now, and while thinking about that process is enough to make my head spin, I’d rather focus on the dizzying delight of the results.

I first spotted the work of Etsian Baumbirdy from this wedding, with these awesome, wooden escort cards.

That sent me over to the shop, where I spied these programs and Save the Dates.

Much as I love paper, there is something instantly grounding about wood. Different, and dignified, without sacrificing any style.
