You may remember our shop dog Stella Luna. She greeted our shop visitors like they were family and friends.

It’s with much sorrow that I am sharing with you that Stella crossed the rainbow bridge after a 4 month battle with lymphoma. My sweet girl will be greatly missed.

Thanks Bella for the awesome review of 221 Creations! So nice of you to post for us.

"Mary Kay is absolutely amazing! She is doing my wedding invitations and she made the process run so smoothly. Not only is she great at what she does, but her hospitality was outstanding!

I highly recommend using 221 creations for any big event or even just your standard stationary needs."

The deckled edge of the invitations adds a unique, hand-torn texture that creates a soft and romantic feel.
Great for shower and wedding invitations.

King Charles III coronation's invitation.
From People Magazine...
A close look shows two birds perched on the letter C, which is flanked by Charles and Camilla's coats of arms. The Queen Consort's crest has been updated to reflect her installment as a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter last summer, courtiers said.

The meticulous floral border is meant to reflect a British wildflower meadow with lily of the valley, cornflowers, wild strawberries, dog roses and bluebells, plus a sprig of rosemary for remembrance. The flowers are grouped in bunches of three to reflect that Charles is the third King of his name. Flora meets fauna with the incorporation of a butterfly and a bee, plus small drawings of a lion, unicorn and boar from the royal couple's coats of arms.

The flowers flow into an illustration of the Green Man — "an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign," the palace said.

I met Beth when she visited our 221 shop on August 3, 2021. We both laughed because we were twinning! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of seeing Beth again and this time with her daughter Rachel for wedding invitations. Great choice in cloths and great choice for wedding invites!!
