Last Chick Leaves our Nest

Well the day finally arrived, come hell or bad hair! Which thankfully we had none of. 

A Little Birdie Told Me was in attendance and looking mighty fine, if I do say so myself. I was very proud to have supplied all of the printed material, and it looked amazing. Here's a few pictures, all taken by Jay of Jamieson Dean Photography

Instead of seating cards, I decided to use our awesome and tasty chocolate bar labels. Not only were they functional, with guests names and table number written on them, but tasty too! We decided to display them in guitar cases to highlight the families musical talent (not mine, I stick to designing!!).

My husband (that word still sounds funny to me) and I really had the best time at our wedding; and that was largely due to our fabulous vendors. I remember how completely overwhelmed we were spending all of our spare time searching online, phoning a friend(s) and countless weekends driving from florist to florist; so I thought I'd pass along they're information for those of you planning a wedding or function.

The gorgeous and very yummy cake was from Lisa @ Cakeoholics Cakes

The beautiful flowers were from Kim @ Harvest Designs, 905.775.1412.

D.J. Adryin kept everyone on the dance floor well into the wee hours of the morning.

Last but not least, we hired a classical guitarist, Dunstan Morey to welcome guests before the service began, and also to entertain them while they were enjoying cocktails (and we were off having our pictures taken).

Hair and make-up available upon request.

Here's the rest of A Little Birdie Told Me; Danielle with her hubby and sweet pea, and Jenna being swept off her feet by her hubby.

The rest are some I think are standout photo's that Jay took, enjoy!

So there you have it, our big day in a blog post! Now if I could only sign my properly...

I apologize for being a little late in posting our winners. Friday got away from me. 

Before we get to the winners, I just wanted to thank everyone for helping us celebrate our Blog-iversary. We loved reading all of your comments and seeing which designs you guys liked best. 

We look forward to adding to the collection.

Now, on to the winners. We plugged the numbers into random.org and the results were…

Michelle, who liked the bridal shower invite.

And Kristin who just had a little boy and was digging the boy announcement.

Congratulations ladies! Send us off your choice of card along with your address to info@alittlebirdietoldme.ca and we will mail out your prize.

Hopefully I will be back next week with some fab Friday freebies.

A Blog-aversary, a give-away & New Products

You may remember way back to this post, when I mentioned that we had a fun new product coming out. It seems like it has taken us a while to get going but we are finally ready to show off our new fill in announcements and invitations.





We are so excited about these! Of course we always make things that we love and we would be proud to send our friends and family and these definitely fit the bill! With their small size (a little bigger than 4" x 4") and with just a hint of sparkle, they will certainly be a great start to any party or celebration.

Each 10 card pack is printed on bright white paper and has been hand embellished for that extra special touch. Envelopes are included.

Look for them soon on our website or in our Etsy store. Of course, you can always contact us at info@alittlebirdietoldme.ca if you would like to order some.

Now, on to more important details!
It has been exactly one year since we started chronicling the (slow but steady) growth of our baby, A Little Birdie Told Me on this wee blog. We took a break during the summer when we got busy (yeah!) with some client jobs but we have big things planned for the fall.

To celebrate we would like to give you a gift!!

Its easy. Here are the rules:
• Leave a comment telling us which design you like best
• Do this before the 24th of September at 8pm.
• Two winners will be randomly selected (using www.random.org). We will mail out 1 pack of the winners choice.
Its that easy.

Good luck to everyone and thank you so much for all your support this past year.

Pretty in Pink!

Saturday August 15th at Glen Abbey, Amanda wed Scott. And it was lovely! My own husband (our wedding pics to come...) and I were lucky enough to attend, and can attest to the fabulous weather, food and fun that was had by this gorgeous couple!

I was very excited to see our design in action, and Amanda knew this; she was so sweet to send me pictures to brag! ha ha

Take a look.

All photographs were taken by Calvin Photography www.calvinphotography.com

A Little Birdie Told Me would like to wish Amanda and Scott a lifetime of happiness and thank them again for including us in their very special day.

Long weekend

Its almost the long weekend and I'm counting the minutes until it starts.

For the past two weeks I've been trying to figure out how to set up downloads. We have someone much smarter than me working on this and soon I will have some great Friday Freebies. In the meantime have a great long weekend!

Here is some eye candy to get you started.
