I Jumped On The Driftwood Wagon

{via Joanna Fowles}

I've been seeing so many great spaces and vignettes that utilize branches and driftwood.  What a fun element to throw into your decor, whether modern, traditional, country... or ideally, a mix.  So I was thrilled to recently stumble upon The Moss Woodshop.  Their shop has the coolest driftwood shelves.

The Moss Woodshop handcrafts each piece using driftwood that they find washed ashore.  Each listing notes which beach from where it was found, which I find to be quite charming.  Don't you? 

I have one of their pretty shelves on it's way to me and he's destined to be hung in Fletcher's nursery.  I'm pretty darn excited about it and have been looking around at more driftwood decor ideas.  Love some of these inspired projects below.  **Update - the shelf just showed up and it is gooooorgeous!**

Pretty dreamy things can be done with driftwood, and I'm pretty excited to get my shelf up on the wall!  All of The Moss Woodshop's shelves are each unique and reasonably priced.  They also make cute frames and jewelry holders too.

Love that, and could totally see it used to display jewelry in a fun boutique too.  Don't you just love happy little talented shops?? So go pay them a visit.  Oh, and hey Moss Woodshop -- congrats on your shop's one year anniversary!

Gold Dipped Goodness

I kinda fell in love when I found this little gem of a shop, A Merry Mishap.  Love the simple gold dipped designs.  Even more, I love that most everything is under $25.

Pretty gorgeous, huh?  See more here.

Sarah & Bendrix

You all know that I have a love for Etsy.  I find all sorts of things on that site, including nursery decor.  You may have peeked a really cute print in my nursery moodboard I shared a week or so ago.  Well today I want to introduce you to the rest of the shop that it came from, Sarah & Bendrix.

I originally discovered Sara & Bendrix' shop from my gal pal Gaby, and was completely smitten.  I knew that the You Are Simply Wonderful poster would be perfect in the boy's nursery.  All of the posters are limited edition.  And the Simply Wonderful print was created in collaboration with painter Audrey Walas.   I was blown away when it arrived- great quality print, litho printed with deep crisp colors. 

I simply adore so much of their shop.  Take a look.

Simple, romantic, and sentimental.  Go check them out! 

Letterpress Goodness + A Winner

I love a good letterpress print just as much as the next girl.  I recently discovered OneCanoeTwo's shop, and was quite taken with the designs and colors.

And I especially love these state letterpress prints!  You just might see one of these pop up in the nursery in the days to come...

And for all my fellow cooks...

Handprinted + Handmade

I've long appreciated the designs that Amie Cunningham of Thief & Bandit cranks out.  I recently popped into her shop and was not surprised to find oodles of items that I'm loving.  A lot of you commented on the baby leggings that I included in my last Etsy Favorites Roundup post, so I thought that today I'd highlight a few more of the gems to be found at Thief & Bandit.

Visit her shop to see more.  And pssst, it's all well priced!

If I were to use a cozy for my morning cup, I'd use this.

Loving this bright and cheery vintage tray.

A perfect pillow for a child with her head in the clouds.

Love this porcelain vase with carved lace design.

A simple and calming handwritten calendar.

I've delighted in these coverall hats for awhile now.

These mini canvas prints would be a perfect touch to a bookcase.
