Etsy Summer :: Geometric Jewels

Geometrics are a year round favorite for me.  Since it's still summer and I have yet to pull out anything closely related to wool - I am all about getting some new jewelry to wear!  Summer is pretty much the quintessential time to show off some new jewels on that bare skin.  Hopefully, not real pale skin - you do want to have some color to offset the pasty whiteness of winter.  I've put together some of my Etsy jewelry favorites with a focus on geometric shapes.  I would be quite happy with any of these beautiful handmade items, but most happy if I had them all!

Which one tops off your list of favs?

Design Crush || Modern Pendant Lights

I am currently building a home and so my head is currently full of design ideas. Trying to figure out the stain for the wood floors, the perfect countertops that won't be dated ten years from now ( are there any?), and a cabinet style I won't regret.  I feel so lucky to be getting to choose all these things for the whole house, that also includes all the design elements, like pendant lights.

I am not a crystal chandelier kind of person, I like my home design elements simple, modern and classic . I really love pieces that have an organic feel and geometric shapes.  When building a house it's important to find those design pieces that really make it your home and a perfect way to do that is with your lighting.  Here are a few samples of my favorite pendant lights on Etsy. Maybe some of these will end up in my new home.  What's your favorite?

Etsy Shop Introduction || Trees 4 the Wood

Imagine living on a flower farm in Southern Tasmania. Sounds pretty ideal and it's easy to see how this idyllic setting has inspired artist Grace Gladdish and her shop trees 4 the wood.  When she's not tending to Swallows Nest her flower farm or her 5 children, she somehow finds spare time to create beautiful linocut prints.  Her prints are inspired by local flora and fauna that surround her in Australia.

In addition, to prints she also offers painted pendants on wood from her farm, laser cut brooches with vintage fashion images, and paper goods that include her linocut designs. My favorite items in her shop are the linocuts of flowers featuring Australian natives. Can you imagine all these beautiful flowers growing outside your home?
