The Love Story That Inspired a Font.

I love a good love story. After 35 years of marriage, I thought it was time to celebrate and tell ours in a very special way…so I created a font!

The name “Hello My Love” refers to the way we greet each other. As corny as it sounds, there’s nothing that puts a smile on my face more than to see my hubby, Michael, walk in the door, which is in direct sight of my home studio and say those 3 words.

We were married November 9, 1984.  Two kids and five houses later, we still like each other and feel an even deeper love and appreciation for our relationship. For us, that required a big celebration! So last October, we took a trip to Vienna and Italy with our sons Alex and Nick and his girlfriend Victoria.

This is all of us in Verona at a pasta making class.

But I wanted something beyond a trip to commemorate this wonderful moment in time. The font is that tribute to our love story. It represents the hard earned ease and flow that comes from sharing the ups and downs of life together and learning “this too shall pass”. It speaks to the level of gratitude that evolves after experiencing heartbreaking moments as well as extreme joy during the many years that we’ve been lucky enough to share together. But most importantly it’s filled with the love that grew and evolved into something that we cherish every day.

So how did this journey begin?

It all started many years ago when I first saw Michael at the age of 4 in his grandfather’s corner grocery store. I imagined he got to eat all the candy he wanted! Fast forward 12 years, and we met at McDonald’s after our high school’s football game. We dated for awhile but went our separate ways when he left for college. Eleven years later, I moved to Dallas.  Meanwhile, back in our hometown of Erie, Pa. his mom ran into my dad at a local Italian deli.  When he told her I lived in Dallas, she was delighted to share that her son had been transferred there 6 months earlier. When Michael called his parents at the usual time, she shared the news. He gave me a call. We reconnected at a restaurant called “The Magic Time Machine”. (How perfect is that!) And a year and a half later we were married at the same church both of our parents had been married in. Serendipitous to say the least!

I can’t imagine my life without this man who has taught, accepted, tolerated, supported and encouraged me for the last 35 years to follow my own unique path.  He puts his all into whatever he does. He is passionate about his family, golf, track and field and his faith. He’s been a loving, devoted father whose sons always know how proud he is of them. And he’s a great story teller, regaling us throughout the years with funny moments of his life working in his close knit family’s Italian deli and bakery. He is usually laughing so hard he can barely get the words out. I love his laugh. It’s a deep gut laugh. It’s like his whole body is erupting with joy.

I could go on. But I hope this helps you to understand the inspiration behind the font. I hope you have your own love story to tell. It doesn’t have to be a romantic one. It can be about having a special bond with a friend, a family member or discovering how to love yourself. We all need to learn that.

The love that inspired me to create this font, is not the kind of emotion you see in movies. Someone doesn’t complete you. It’s doing real life together, every day, with repetitive menial tasks, kids that don’t want to go to bed and parents who become ill. It’s never feeling like you can do it all but somehow managing the most important things because you’re doing it together. It’s going through the stages of life, re-inventing yourself and your relationship over and over. It’s knowing when you to let the small things go and focusing on the good that’s in front of you. Forgiving quickly, crying or comforting when the need arises, knowing when to lead and when to follow and always keeping a sense of humor…these are the subtle lessons that come only with time. This is, to me, what real love is about.

I’m grateful to have it in my life. And I wish I could pass it out like candy. But I can’t. So I’ve put it into a font. My hope is, that it’s used to celebrate many stories about real love.

It’s on sale for 50% off for a limited time. Oh and it comes with a bonus…91 Ornaments including frames, florals and design elements.

Cinque Donne means “Five Women” in Italian.

It’s named in honor of my sisters as well as the group of five “Club Girls” I have had the pleasure of knowing since I was 14 years old!

But it also honors all women who continue to show up in their lives and the lives of those they love.

But for this post, I’m starting with a little bit of info about the oldest of my incredible sisters, Georgina.

Georgina is now retired and living in Minnesota.

But she spent years as an investigative reporter and then a technical writer for the remainder of her career taking time off to study geology in between.

Though she never had children of her own, she loved to shower attention on all of her nieces and nephews.

But before that, she beautifully played the role of big sister to me.

One moment that stands out is when I was 12.

I was going to be changing schools from one where uniforms were required, to a regular school.

With seven kids, just putting food on the table and a roof over our head took most of the family budget.

Georgina had been working at the city newspaper by this time.

 So she took me out to the local department store and let me pick out several outfits that she then purchased.

I felt like the belle of the ball.

It made all the difference in the world to this shy insecure pre-teen.

It also served as a wonderful example of how to be there for someone you love.

Thanks Georgina! You set the bar high for the rest of us.

script font, cursive font, hand lettered font, hand written font, fancy font, Cinque Donne font, calligraphy font, lettering, letters, font for invitations, wedding invitations, baby shower invitations, save the date invitations, baby announcements, graphic design, fonts, font, Debi Sementelli,

The Cinque Donne Font Family contains four versions of the font.

Team Chill Bow Tie Wedding

In June I wrote a post about how Chad and Jill ( a.k.a. Team Chill)

cleverly asked their friends to be their groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Shown here is a picture of the groomsmen’s invite.

I hand-lettered it in the shape of a bow-tie

and Jill included instructions on how to tie one.

This cute couple continued the bow tie theme at their wedding reception.

For a totally different look, Gourmet Invitations  created this colorful geode inspired boxed invitation

featured on Green Wedding Shoes blog.

The invitation box was a mineral rock texture on the outside

and then a sparkly teal inside to mimic the look of a geode breaking open.

  The actual invitation was even made from glass and cut to the shape of a mineral.

On the geode are the couple’s initials in gold using my Belluccia Font.

I do believe that is the first time she has been used on an actual mineral!

Hand Painted Wood Signs Using My Cantoni Font

Rachael Stahl of Honeycomb Signs does such an amazing job creating

these hand painted wooden signs using my Cantoni Total Design Font.

She types the wording on the computer than enlarges it

 onto the wood before painting it in.

Each piece is made to order out of beautiful, reclaimed wood.

Here she has used white paint with black lettering,

but she can customize the wood and ink to your liking.

This sign would make a great wedding gift.  It measures 32′ x 15″.

It would look great over a bed or a console table.

Rachael created this custom sign for one of her clients.

The royal blue and black ink really pop on the white, painted wood.

Rachael is happy to customize any signs to your liking, just send her an e-mail.

on all of her reclaimed wood signs.

Thanks Rachel!
