with names like ocean of the universe, morning sunshine, radiate and the evening moon.. i see aeropagita abstract prints as drops of joy. many of them symbolize the energy in the universe and they are all focused on positivity. i particularly love how artist mishel describes the art as ‘self help for your walls’. visit aeropagita on etsy and twitter to see more of this beautiful world!

vintage bird plates, antique foliage prints and lots of character are what you’ll find at shaving kit and i’ve got my eye on several of these charming pieces. the old tables, chipping paint and greenery in all the pictures makes browsing this shop a truly lovely experience.

the definition of mengsel is mixture, which pretty perfectly describes this london based south african designer, luzelle van der westhuizen and her work. luzelle’s work is inspired by african and scandinavian design, and i just can’t get enough of her beautiful prints.  my favorites (of course) are the retro rooster and moka express designs, two of my favorite things!  be sure to visit her beautiful blog and website as well, you’ll find enough inspiration to last you all day!
