Welcome back after the weekend! Last night, while sorting my stuff out for the week ahead, I went through a collection of business cards that I'd swapped and picked up with other design bloggers and Etsy designers at a lovely little evening held last week, The London Design Bloggers Meet-up, organised by Ellie and Bethan at Home Shopping Spy and Lynne at Tea for Joy. They'd invited me with some trepidation that I wouldn't come, after I announced my fear of networking on the Guardian, but it was so informal it felt like meeting old friends. Except for the fact that we swapped business cards.
I wouldn't normally blog about business cards in particular detail, but everyone there had such gorgeous ones, which I guess just goes to show there was a lot of creativity in the room. My favourite has to be the Little Cake Parlour's (bottom right), with its shocking pink fair ground font. It also says the least business-cardy thing you can expect which is: Mmm How Delicious. Brilliant business-card speak. I felt quite chuffed that people commented on how pretty my own calligraphy-esque card which Sarah at Truly Smitten designed for me.
One girl mentioned she got her cards done at Moo which is a good place to go for affordable but fun and artistic cards (you can order Studio Mela through Moo's UK page - her utensil cards are super cute for any budding cooks). These days, I'm really loving all things simplistic and Kraft (I've started doing brown Kraft cardboard boxes of cookies for birthdays) and I recently came across these cards too; classy and subtle.

Cards aside, I can't wait to share a brilliant My Favourite Place with you on Wednesday with my favourite shop owners (can you guess?) of the moment: the pictures of their favourite room in their home are absolutely gorgeous and guaranteed to inspire some room envy, and I've scouted around to find buys to help recreate their style... I'll also be announcing the winners of the Cartolina Cards giveaway (there's still time to enter) plus there'll be more baking treats in store come Friday for another sugar rush (did anyone dare try out the Chocolate Mayo cake below?!).
Have a good start to the week!
