Holly Golightly Goodness

When we stumbled across these fantastic Breakfast at Tiffany’s watercolor prints (one and two) we simply had to share. Aren’t they just darling? Surely Audrey Hepburn would approve… “A girl can’t read that sort of thing without her lipstick.” -Holly Golightly

Pretty Pups

Another day, another Etsy find! Really though, how charming are these canine cutouts? Each carefully crafted collage is made of ten to twenty individually hand-cut pieces — such attention to detail! We’re off to order the pug and cocker spaniel… Which breed would you choose?

Top Knot

How fantastic is artist Elizabeth Mayville’s “Top Knot” series? We love a messy bun and the striped shirts are the icing on the cake. Did we mention prints are only $20 and original paintings $150? Perfect for the Matchbook girl’s apartment! Shop Elizabeth’s work on Etsy…

Sticker Chic

Whenever we come across these silly stickers by 23 Madison Studio in our Etsy favorites we can’t help but smile ear to ear. Aren’t those mini perfume bottles fun? We’d plaster them all over our Moleskin notebooks and be transported back to schooldays.
