Sometimes after a long week, not much rest, some uncertainty about the future, and not much of a break in sight- all you need is a deep breath and a little banner to tell you things are going to be alright. I'd love to do some major decluttering of my studio and hang this right in the middle of a freshly painted wall.
Inspired by today's fog and rainy weather here in North Carolina, some white and grey etsy finds. This type of weather calls for some tomato soup and grilled cheese, and getting cozy on the couch.
I have been seeing lots of lovely home illustrations on etsy and pinterest as of late. Like the print our friend just produced, I am loving the hand drawn details of these.
My crafty momma recently opened her own etsy shop named ReBloomed! She is using new and repurposed fabrics to make the sweetest flower clips and brooches! I had so much fun helping her with the photos (with my lovely sister modeling) and it looks like these little gems won't be staying in the shop for long! Get yours here while they last!
PS-- My mom is pretty awesome. In addition to starting her shop she also started her new job as an assistant principal this month!

After discovering NC based paper-goods etsy shop, Wit&Whistle, a few months ago I have loved their subtle humor, unfussy designs, and lovely styling. So I was even more excited today to see them featured on Oh Joy! Congrats!
Loving the work of Minnesota based artist/architect: William Dohman and his shop oh dier. Read all about his work here.
I would love to have this ampersand sign hanging in our bedroom,
or this sweet blue "hello" in an entryway. All lovingly handmade by the artist, what a sweet way to welcome your guests!
Really excited to have one of these sweet paper mache birds on the way to me and even more excited to find out that the proceeds from this shop support artisans and their families still iving in the very real devastation of Haiti. The project is The Paper Turtles and is a collaboration between an artist in New Mexico, Laura Bruzzese, and Aly Abraham of Haiti. She was already working with him on creating her turtle designs before the 2010 earthquake and was amazed at his dedication and commitment to continue the work (and heart-breakingly even apologize for a delay) after the disaster. Now they have partnered up on this special etsy shop that donates all profits to Aly and his other artists and their families. I was really touched by their story and thought that it would be a great way to help support the ongoing efforts to rebuild the lives of artists and people living in Haiti after such a great tragedy.
I found and loved this little antler so much that I had the mister help me design a thank you card based on it. Will be up in the shop once we get a new ink cartridge.
bronze chevron antler by MadeByCassandraSmith on etsy.
Lovely, colorful, modern, perfect for spring accessories from No 144. A little more preppy than my usual taste but I just can't resist the styling.
The most beautiful tie dyed cotton and leather-loop scarf by Scout & Catalogue. So, so pretty. It even has a crystal.
I love the cuts and shapes found in etsy shop, Vain and Vapid. Not too mention the lovely colors and fabric used.
