* Etsy Edition * Annette Mangseth *

I'm getting ahead of myself here, as I planned for my first few Etsy Editions to feature artists with a knack for reusing found objects, but I just received a second set of stickers I'd ordered from Carambatack, the Etsy store of lovely Norwegian artist Annette Mangseth, and had to share. I'm using these as envelope seals for cards and correspondence, and they lend the perfect extra touch.


She has so many wonderful pieces, and I love how she breathes new life into vintage book pages (from the 1800s, no less!) by using them as her canvases. They all have a softly ethereal element to them . . . and I find it awfully hard to pick a favorite.



I've been good, and have only ordered her stickers so far, but I see an original or one of her prints sneaking its way into my shopping cart one of these days.


Pretty as . . . a peacock!
