Happy Birthday, Libba!
When I wish someone a happy birthday, I always try to include a little something that sparks great memories. A photo from a great trip, a nickname that signifies a childhood memory, postcards that hark back a semester abroad…All fair game. Spice it up!

Dear Libba_It’s hard to believe we are celebrating another year! Part of me will forever be running with you through high school halls, or feeling fancy “splurging” on cheap french wine in the Marais. You are a great person + friend and I feel so fortunate to be growing old{er} with you! Have a wonderful birthday. Erin xx
Happy Birthday, Mylene!
My friend Mylene just recently launched a wonderful business where she transforms high end fabric into Audrey Hepburn-esque tied headbands {honestly feel like I’m in modern-day Roman Holiday when I wear mine} and old school men’s fabric belts. Super chic. So for her birthday, a fabric card was definitely in order….

happy birthday, Mylene {aka fabric goddess} _ hope you have a wonderful day filled with relaxation & fun with the fam. We have to get together soon. Hope your travels have been amazing. Love, Erin {Chris, Will + Chief, too}
Happy Birthday, Mary!

Party Thank You :: Mother’s Blessing

Saturday night was a first for me! I attended a Mother Blessing hosted by my good friend Megan, for her darling sister/my friend/expectant mother, Mekea. It was lovely in the sense that the Blessing truly celebrated the tradition of motherhood by honoring mothers, grandmothers + the women who attended the event.
Meg, Such a lovely party! You really know how to fete it right — so warm, so personal, so stylish. And I loved meeting your mom + all of Mekea’s friends. Gems. Such a treat. Thank you, thank you! Let’s get dins on the calendar soon…Erin xx
An informal congratulations to a great neighbor. It’s not everyday you win an Emmy…

Thank you! Third Annual Trip to Madison

Dear Jeff + Andy_Madison might be a week behind us, but I am still laughing. Thank you for hosting another year of memorable moments. Old Fashioneds at the Old Fashioned, belting out Pink at the Plaza {recorded!}, Uno on the Terrace, the loud clapping contest {watch out, Andy!} and the Counsel. Oh, how I *heart* the Counsel. You are amazing friends. Thank you for your warm hospitality and enduring friendship. See you soon! Erin, Chris + Will xx
Thank You, Twin Cities Live!
Monday morning, Twin Cities Live arrived on my doorstep to shoot a segment on moms who own their own business. It was an awesome experience. Professional and fun. Had to follow up with a heartfelt thank you to the people who made it happen, Emily Engberg + Seth Holst.

Emily + Seth_What a shoot! Thank you for spending Monday morning with RedStamp. The entire office had a blast. You both are so good at what you do…it was really cool to see you in action. Can’t wait to watch Twin Cities Live, Thursday at 3pm! All Best, Erin p.s. Swing by any time. Lollipops + paper, on us.
