hi lovelies! i’ve finally finished my little project, and want to share it with you!

i fell in love with this print at an old antique store, decided to bring it home and then got creative!  i’ve always loved old prints, but never known quite what to do with them.  i’m also a romantic at heart- and love simple, sweet & dreamy sayings (though i never knew what to do with them either!). well, the two have collided and i’m very excited to reveal….

the new shop i’ve been working on: old renewed!

clockwise :: follow me, you carry my heart, this place, follow me,  our story, fly away with me

i’ve been collecting old, vintage and past loved frames and pictures for a few months now.  i bring them home, clean them up, give their frames a fresh coat of white paint and then get to dreaming of what the picture makes me think of.  each of these upcycled past loved treasuries are given a new lease on life- and each remind me of a simpler, more romantic way of life.  i hope you like them!

lately, i’ve been obsessed with everything that is sadie olive. sara duckett is a photographer, graphic designer, boutique owner and most recently- an etsy shop owner.  though her shop’s  motto is ‘one of a kind finds’, sadie olive is in itself- a one of a kind find.  stunning images, beautiful vintage finds, and a blog to die for- have fun roaming around her universe today, you’ll get lost in it all…
