Spring is in the Air!

Baltimore schools had a snow day earlier this week but March's "in like a lion, out like a lamb" mentality could never be more true with the weather forecasters telling us to brace ourselves for 70 degrees this weekend.

Springtime may be in the air, but it's also in the mail - at least in my case. I created these seafoam green and pink wedding invitations for my sister-in-law. Each invitation includes a hand-printed seashell linocut.

Don't you just want to rush out and buy your tickets to Florida? (I've already picked out my bathing suit and flip flops.)
