shop adore: haven vintage

1. industrial metal hardware storage 2. sewing drawer 3. cream and blue decorative dish 4. mason jars 5. letterpress collection

I have been stumbling on more of these darling vintage shops on Etsy that line their online shelves with home adornments rather then clothing. The newest is Haven. I can see the use of vintage drawers for jewelry, letterpress sets as shelf decor, and mason jars for vases. It's that vintage meets modern with a slightly rustic edge I have always been drawn too. This shop is no short of perfection. The shop sections even read, "the cottage", "industrial", "the desk", etc. If I am not collecting her collection I am surely inspired just browsing.

This handmade artist here is such perfection. From her use of modern wallpaper to the kinds of things she is making with it and how they are photographed. See her whole shop here! This was an 'Etsy front page looking for inspiration morning' find! It's finding these artists who do what they love that keep me excited about the projects I have in the works. Today is a photo taking day! I have been collected ideas, dry cleaning sweet white dresses I forgot I had, and painting props. I am almost there and have a good feeling about this one!

1. custom hand carved stamp 2. hand carved stamp-peony 3. my personal stamp!

I have been waiting for my new logo stamp to arrive for this post! I found the sweetest artist on Etsy: Brown Pigeon who hand carves rubber stamps. I wanted something simple and in my BeeTwixt font for the tops of boxes and as soon as I saw this peony I knew she was just the one to help. Her stamps are creative + darling. I can't wait to order more!

1. Blue Birds 2. Peacock 3. Love Wins

Looking for some inspiration I tend to start on Etsy's home page and let it direct me. On occasion there is an artist or vintage seller on the front page that jumps out at me, this is one such artist! I am a sucker for printed birds, they are such perfection. In browsing the shop I found the "Love Wins" print and it is too adorable! This would make for a classic invitation for that wedding day. I enjoy the use of bright + contrasting colors, I need more of this turquoise in my life. See Geninne Shop here!

artist profile: Lens Happy Studio

1. Romantic Eiffle Tower Print 2. NW Heights Print 3. Afternoon with Central Park 4. Front Row Seat

My sweets is not only a glass blower (see Glass Happy Studio here!), but also has an eye fit for a lens. Inspired by travels, her work takes a different approach and some lower angles on very popular architecture. My favorite is the Eiffle Tower Print. I had never seen this pop culture icon from such an angle or lit up so beautifully! (Can you see the star?) Best part, it was not shot digitally, no ma'am, it was artfully approached with the body of a Hasselblad + film. How vintage inspired is that?!

handwritten: Slim Arts

My dear sister's creativity branches from art cards + prints into handwriting! What a lost art that I still have so much admiration for. She sells her written ability in her shop! You can hire to to hand address your letters in the outbox. She even turned her handwriting into a font, that I am coveting. Getting little notes in the mail from her is an extra sweet treat, a little hello and her artistic writing style.
