'Tis hand drawn methinks. The 'E's give it away.

would guess that the letters are hand-done and then repeated mechanically/digitally ... if you look at calligraphy books, they have tons of this home/crafty stuff with stunning lettering. Letterspacing H AVE needs work.

Looking at her other work, it does look hand drawn. She's done the same treatment a lot to keep it very consistent, but there are slight variations in each character which for what she is going for (my guess) make it work that much better in my opinion.

Emma Bridgewater uses her own lettering. Similarish fonts that spring to mind are Trajan Pro and Golden Cockerel Titling although both are too regular to provide the hand feel of the EB stuff.

http://www.stormtype.com/ have some similar stuff with a 'looser' feel.
