Lego My Apple & some vintage finds

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Do you know someone who fancies thing of a vintage nature?

There is a shop on Etsy where you can buy Vintage Miniature Amber Glass Oil Lamps. Very cool, but Jody's Vintage offers a bunch of ideas and gifts to choose from for any time of year. There are hand painted cast iron trivets, old school TV lamps, kitchen utensils and even dated Mason jars if you know a collector. You could even put some goodies in the jar as part of the gift.

MacSlaps are designer vinyl decals that utilize the backlit apple, allowing Mac owners to instantly customize their computer. So go ahead, slap some skin on your apple! Because your Mac should be as unique as you are.

"Lego My Apple" is a cute vinyl decal for your laptop or for wherever you wish to apply it. For those you know who like Apple products. I'm lucky because my husband likes Apple AND Legos, so really this would be the perfect decal for him. He'd probably put it on his Jeep. The description of the decal includes a disclaimer which says, "*Please note: this decal will definitely make you the coolest kid in the library." ROFL.

Etsy is also a great place to find shops with cute, unique jewelry. One of my favorite shops to browse through is primoriginals. Right now they have really amazing unique ornaments, Christmas cards, art pendants, prints and original artwork, etc.

If you know me, then you know how I love owls. In fact, if I could have a pet snow owl I'd be elated. And if I weren't allergic to cats I would want an orange tabby. Anyway, I can have both of those animals painted on something at primoriginals. Like the colorful HOOT Mounted Art Print. They are tiny block prints that you can hang on the wall as part of a collage or just by themselves on a smaller wall like in the kitchen or powder room.

And there is a Cat. Tree. Mouse. pendant which has a coy looking orange kitty on it. The painted colors are warm and inviting, such a great scene.

    Dali Decals

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    Dali Decals is owned and operated by David and Alicia, and is located in Asheville, North Carolina. They started out doing their own vinyl graphics for sports bikes. Since then, they have expanded their business to doing custom signage, motorcycle trailers, business logos for vehicles and buildings, and even wall art.

    It's the wall art I'm excited about. The one shown in this picture would go well in our baby's nursery. There is an ocean/pirate theme and his bedding has ships on it. There is an accent wall which is an ocean blue color and really a lot of nautical things including the light switch plate. So "We can't change the wind, but we can adjust the sails," would be quite fitting.

    I also like the personalized wall letterings. You can have your child's name done or just a monogram and the colors and styles are chosen by you, too.

    They have all sized art for the wall including trees which nearly go up to the top of the ceiling so it's as if you have a cherry blossom in your home. There are a few silhouettes to choose from and then of course some animals including whales and birds and such.

    So check out their Etsy shop and pick some wall art for your home. Then squeegee away!
