Novel Nauticals

Haven't been inspired to blog lately... probably because it's been "hotter than the hinges of hell" in Richmond (thank you, Suzi Hopper) But these lovelies broke my slump. They're printed on antique book pages. Aren't they cool?!

I always love nautical things- they remind me of my home sweet Annapolis on the bay. Very Anthropologie-esque, I think. Go to BlackBaroque's etsy shop (Pay no mind to the gothic name or the skulls on the shop banner. Girl's got awesome prints for ten bucks!) Which are your favorites?

Hadley Hutton prints

Hadley was a featured artist in Richmond's "Skirt" magazine last summer whose work caught my eye. I was a happy girl when I found out her prints are accessible and affordable. I knew I loved her :)

You can see more of her mixed-media prints at http://www.etsy.com/shop/hadleyhutton. This one is called "With In." Two of my other favorites are "Two Robins" and "Drift Dress."

I love that each of her prints go beautifully together without being too matchy-matchy.

Which are your favorites??

A ranunculus by any other name....

... would sound a lot more lovely. Aren't they beautiful, though!? These are a tad hard to find in Richmond, but Whole Foods usually pulls through when I need an extra bit of happiness to brighten up my life. Joy in a vase.

And since they're my favorites, I've been looking for a frame-worthy ranunculus print forever (ok, actually just really incessantly for the past 2 days) and this is THE one. Just ordered it. So excited! http://www.etsy.com/shop/dandeliondaydream. Check out Leila's other pretty pictures too!

Lovely Leah

I LOVE this "Hills" print... Isn't it so simply sweet? Check out her other work at http://www.etsy.com/shop/leahduncan. Delightfully affordable too... only $14 for a signed, limited edition print. YAY!
