New Signs + New Wallpaper
March 26th, 2010
I can’t believe April is going to be here next week! The last part of winter really flew by and now we so are excited to welcome Spring down at the shop!
It is going to be so refreshing to open the doors and to set up potted plants and flowers outside of the doors. I can just see it now…
Front of Shop inclosed wedding stationery + letterpress
Our signs were finally able to go up in March. We had to wait until the windows were warm enough for the white vinyl to adhere properly. The wait paid off and I am so happy people are now finally able to see the signs from the street. We also placed our signature flowers along the bottom of the windows. Very appropriate for this time of the year, don’t ya think?!
Flowers with inclosed
Our wallpaper also went up in March. The design is amazing and it’s perfect for the space! Take a look! Or better yet, come down to the shop and see for yourself, we would love to see you!

There is still so much to do at inclosed. The furniture is on its way and will be arriving soon, hopefully next week!
Stay tuned: I will be posting little wedding lovelies and local artwork that will be for sale in our retail shop!

Sundays With The Old Man
March 8th, 2010
The Old Man
For the last couple of months, my Sundays have been spent with The Old Man: Our C&P Letterpress that is. We bought this little guy about a year ago and we still had not found an appropriate name for him. Some other names thrown out were Winston, J.P. and Archibald. Then one day, my sister called our dad “Old Man” and like a bolt of lightning, our C&P had been appropriately named: The Old Man.
My dad, sister and I have been the three musketeers recently… especially on Sundays. So I thought it would be really sweet to dedicate a space on my blog for our little Sunday printing parties! We might even have to start sending out invitations because they are that much fun….
Chocolate Hippo with The Old Man
My sister Libbie lives in Germany with her husband and three kids. She always seems to find the most interesting and yummy treats to send to us Americans. This Sunday, we enjoyed a tasty Happy Hippo, it was so delish! Isn’t he cute?! Sorry buddy!
This Sunday’s project was inclosed business cards. Since we opened up a storefront, we had to print new cards. I ordered awesome handmade paper from Porridge Papers in Lincoln, Nebraska. The paper is so amazing so I wanted to keep the copy and design very simple and clean.

They turned out really great! I love glitter!
Stay tuned for next week’s segment “Sundays With The Old Man” to see what our print shop is up to… and what German treat will be eaten next!

Lesley and The Old Man
Shop Update + Decorations!
March 2nd, 2010
Meeting Area, Wedding Invitations Omaha, NE
I wanted to post some new pictures of our recent decorating projects for the shop and show our progression…. It does not happen over night, but hopefully by April, everything will be up and we’ll be all set! Above is the picture of our meeting room with a couple of bookshelves to showcase some of our recent invitations. It’s a really cool way to display invites without books.
Tissue Balls from Ceiling, Omaha NE, Wedding Invitations
I decided to add new colors to inclosed’s color scheme: RED and GREY and every PINK under the sun! I have noticed pink and black are becoming ever so popular so I wanted to change it up a little, to make sure we stand out from other stationers on-line and in town.
Our “inclosed studio” banner is a temporary sign until it’s warm enough for our signs to go on the windows…. I can’t wait! I will for sure take pics once those are up! I have to thank my neighbor and friend Jess Brashear for helping me sew, attach and hang the banner! You are the best Jess! Thank you!
Sitting Area, Inclosed Studio, Omaha, NE, Wedding Invitations
On the other side of the store will be our letterpress shop, retail for stationery and wedding little lovelies! There will also be a sitting area, “a bridal lounge” is what I am calling it. Cute, right?! I ordered furniture and wall-paper which will arrive in the next couple of weeks, I will update once the next phase is complete!
xoxo,
Lesley
