Escaping the Big Smoke and spending the weekend in the countryside with my parents is always great: home cooked meals, playing with the family dog Merlin and with my little brother on one of his blood thirsty video games. It also helps that where mum and dad live is home to The Best Charity Shops in the World.

So on a recent visit I picked a lusterware tea service, a book about Chester, a stuffed bird and lots of pretty sheet music. I rifled through a box of papers looking for interesting type and detail to use on our wedding invitations which were designing ourselves. The scrolls and lettering on these are great. Its also a really nice coincidence that this happens to be a wedding song.

Our invites will have a much more simplified version of these details but we want it to have an Edwardian/Victorian feel to it.

I also bought a sweet copy of the bible so we can pick out one of our wedding readings. It must have been a gift to someone at their communion. It has a zip around it and gilt edged pages. It looks like its never been touched. Bad catholic!
