Feeling beachy...


This is one of my favorites from an old Coastal living.  I just love the artwork of Eric Zener and this space is so relaxing.  Can you just imagine coming back from a walk on the beach with some little pieces you have collected and taking an afternoon nap on that day bed?  
Can you tell I am ready for the warm weather.

Happy Monday!

Mr. Brown's Patent etching



Here is another vintage piece.  This one reads "Mr. Brown's Patent".  The drawing on this piece is a bit lighter but very nice and very detailed...  They make a great pair..  Find this one on our Etsy site also.

Vintage Scientific magazine etching...


This is a great piece from I believe around 1750. It is a single sheet from a scientific magazine of the day. The graphics are really nice and pronounced. A wonderful piece for the office or the home... love this! I just posted this on Etsy..

Vintage Mirrors as art








I have always had a thing about unframed vintage mirrors. I love these collages of them! I have a set of 3 just waiting to be hung in the guest room - I am inspired I will have to finally hang them up!

Eric Trine Artist and Designer


I have met so many wonderful people through SEED People's Market and I am excited to share another amazing artist and designer with you, who makes the most creative furnishings and displays! Eric Trine has made a large amount of the pieces at SEED in addition to his many other art installations in the area. Take a peek at some of his work below and check out his blog/site with information on everything he does.

Eric uses Vintage pieces and re works them in many of his furnishings which makes each one unique and eco friendly. He has a few pieces for sale at SEED (the tables shown above) and he takes on private commissions- so he can make something just for you!

Jennifer Alden Design


I have had the recent pleasure of discovering Jennifer Alden's work while I was at SEED one day last week!! I just love it! Jennifer has skills with an education to back it up.. she attended London College of Design and Parsons School of Design in Paris and worked for Anthropologie on retail display (one of my alternate life dreamy jobs). Her current project "Block and Twigs" encompasses her life experiences and travel in tiny little beautiful pieces. In Jennifer's words they are "Vintage and location photographs... printed in sepia tone and lovingly stitched onto fabric, then attached to blocks of time-worn, weathered wood." See why I like them so much!




Jennifer can also do this with your personal photos. The perfect holiday gift I do believe! As long as the photos are royalty/copyright free, it's as simple as sending a high resolution jpeg. The photo can be color, b&w or sepia and wood will choices vary, depending what Jennifer has available.

Inspired by Pam Moxley Photography



"I have always felt that looking through the lens of a camera is much like looking at life from the perspective of a child. The magnificence of life is fresh and waiting to be discovered. I see things when I photograph that I would never see without a camera in my hands. Photography graces me with the momentary freedom to leave the responsibilities of life behind, and view the majesty of life as though I am, again, six years old." Pam Moxley.



Pam Moxley is an amazingly talented photographic artist that I found a while back when I fell in love with one of her pieces in an Atlanta show house that was featured in Traditional Home magazine. Her pieces are so thought provoking and special I just love them! Each piece from her series "In the hands of babes" takes you back to a special place that you can only find as a child. Please enjoy!

Blog hopping... The Sartorialist and Poppy talk



This week is no exception for the fun blog hopping... I received an email from one of my favorite fabric companies Mokum (they have the best mohair fabrics in the most amazing colors- yummy!) Anyway- it was their best of the year awards... and on the list was a blog listing of what they recommend. Click click... I found The Sartorialist (I know where have I been) it is an amazing blog with amazing fashion photos from around the world!! Just seeing all of the fashionable people makes me want to go shopping and give my closet a little update- if nothing else the shoes for sure! Check it out you will love it! He also has a book out just last month with amazing photos- when it rains it pours with the fashion info..



Onto Poppy talk-focusing on handmade, printing, jewelry, art and inspiration! Just fun stuff that is inspiring all the way around. "Poppytalk is a Canadian (Vancouver-based) design blog collecting inspiration and dedicated to promoting emerging design talent. A husband and wife team working in the design field, Jan in graphic design and Earl in New Media as a designer and instructor." Check out their post on the artist Aurelie Alvarez one of the artists featured on Man Shops Globe.



Enjoy!
