I am Nicole Fingers, owner and headstationery stylist of FINGERS IN INK - fine invitations and stationery. With an eye for innovative and creative custom designs, I embraced my passion for paper, and brought my love for contemporary art in creating each custom invitation. FINGERS IN INK (FII) stationery boutique opened as a brick and mortar in May 2002. My primary goal was to provide extraordinary and show stopping invitations and stationery for all social and corporate occasions. Invitations are unique details to an event, which I think people take notice of when done properly. I often say ... "Love is in the details!" Our invitations are designed with love.
In addition to being a paper lover ... I am a proud graduate of THE Ohio State University and enjoy the College Football season (specifically BIG 10). I am truly a foodie to my heart! When you visit my stationery boutique, you will see a collection of Hello Kitty collectibles (HUGE fan!). In my down time ... Netflix and On Demand TV is my best friend!
FINGERS IN INK has been recognized in numerous publications (print and online), notably; Washington Post Sunday Source, DC Luxury, Arlington Magazine, Washingtonian Bride & Groom, Southern Bride & Groom, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Munaluchi Bride, Style Me Pretty, Aisle Perfect, United with Love, Northern Virginia Magazine and Uptown Washington.
