flickr inspiration and etsy favorites, together at last!...

love on a wire, by wood and wool stool on flickr

ok, sorry for the silly title post... i couldn't resist. i thought i would combine my flickr favorites with my etsy favorites today, since realizing that they often overlap! it just makes sense that so many of the artists and vintage sellers i love on etsy are also wonderful photographers. so let's start with a favorite you have probably seen a lot of places online lately, wood and wool stool. what a talented and creative artist ingrid jansen is! i love her rustic style of work, and the mix of recycled materials with "old fashioned" handmade techniques. it is amazing how it achieves such a modern feel. she does such a  great job combining simplicity, originality and color. lovely.

here is a new favorite to me, that i discovered browsing through the favorites of some of my favorites on flickr (is that confusing?). it's a great way to find new artists or work that you love!

i love this artist's beautiful eclectic style of decorating and the way it applies to her work as well. her home was featured here, among other places, and she is lucky enough to live in shelburne, vermont! i'm so happy i found her!

here is an artist i have obviously featured before... but despite the family connection she is truly one of the most inspiring artists i know:)

katy has such an amazing eye for design (believe me i have see her apartment in person:), and it really shows in her work. if you haven't looked into her shop lately, you should treat yourself. the continuous transformation of her designs is amazing, and the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is truly inspiring.

actually, go ahead and buy all of the mentioned above because i am eternally weak in resisting!

in other news, i want to congratulate my friend heather on her first baby being born this week! this is little coralyn, and she is an absolute cutie. i hope i can come visit seattle sometime and meet her in person. actually i would like one of these also, too bad you can't pick those up on etsy:)
