Eclectic Pelican

This amazing vintage shop is a favorite of mine.

I am very lucky to live in it's home city where I can see these soulful treasures in person~

There is often one piece that will catch my eye in particular and need to come home with me...

This glorious piece of stitchery below was the last such item but, alas, I was too late. Someone else had already claimed it.


















I am not one to like or respond to all things because they are 'old'.

This shop's collection, however, always has items with the most tender + poetic character infused within.

Be sure to check out this lovely & evocative Etsy shop, the Eclectic Pelican

Love These Miniatures

I am so taken by these sweet pieces... they are 'keepers', I just can't part with them.

I have a group of them from an estate I am handling. I will be ruthless with myself and list the others but the 5 in the above photo have a permanent home on my studio shelf!

They were collected over the years by an artist. I love the fine craftsmanship in some and the simple folk art style of others. Together they create magic in their honest beauty. They just make me smile.

Great Bags on Etsy

Here are but a sampling of some great bags I have discovered on Etsy. Some have already sold but that does not surprise me. Though certainly not inexpensive they are obviously well made and designed pieces worth every penny and more. Considering the prices of commercial 'designer bags' these days the value is amazing and you likely won't see another one on the arm of anyone else!
