Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Get into the spirit with this delish Stout and Ice-Cream Float, it’s hard not to love it. It’s the cocktail version of a root beer float: vanilla ice cream topped with Irish stout. With the ice cream sweetening the rich beer, the float is as much a dessert as it is a drink. Scoop ice cream into a pint glass, and pour in enough stout to fill it. One pint of ice cream and one 12-ounce bottle of beer will yield 2 servings.

Enjoy your holiday!

Hi it’s Jennifer from Calligraphy by Jennifer and I am so excited once again to blog for the fabulous oh, how posh! I have been extremely busy lately working on launching my second line of invitations which were released last week. It has always been a dream of mine to take my calligraphy business to the next level by offering several lines of invitations. My goal was to create something truly unique and personable since there are so many amazing invitation designers in the industry. I felt calligraphy could do just that, giving your invitation the added elegance and flair that you can’t achieve with computerized fonts.

So, I am happy and proud to announce my second line of invitations Stylish Duo Designs…two artists…one style. Stylish Duo Designs is a couture line of custom invitations that combine hand calligraphy and traditional invitation design to create a new and striking way to invite guests to your big day! My amazing and sweet partner Allison Barnhill from Allison Barnhill Designs agreed to collaborate with me whole-heartedly once I presented her with the idea. I have loved and admired Allison’s work for many years so I knew she would be perfect for this venture! After a flurry of Facebook chats and emails about our ideas, we were on a mission and soon thereafter Stylish Duo Designs was finalized!

Every suite in our line has beautifully hand-lettered first names combined with colorful printed layouts designed by Allison. It was important that we created something that was customizable to each client knowing brides have different color and calligraphy preferences. Therefore, we offer the option to change colors and lettering styles with each of our designs. All of our invitations can also be interchanged with layouts from other designs. As of now we have established four designs and offer them all in digital printing. In the future we plan to add more to our collection and a variety of other products. As always we do offer completely custom designs for the bride who wants to start from scratch.  To see all of the designs read more… »
