Monocles, Velocipedes, and Etsy Gift Tags

Here's another fun item I finished for my soon-to-be-open Etsy shop. They're dictionary brass napkin rings!


The pages were taken from a 1960's Thorndike Barnhart Dictionary which have the most awesome vintage illustrations. For the 4 brass rings, I chose the words "beaver," "monocle," "sideburns," and "velocipede."
 

I love how they turned out! And here are a few gift tag creations I've been working on for Etsy. I'm planning to give a few away with each purchase from the Lovely Beasts Shop. 

I had too many business cards that I knew I would never use, so I re-purposed them. I used the same dictionary pages and ran them through the printer, glued them to the cards, and came up with this!

I really enjoy working on all of these projects and I probably have too many things going on at once, but I can't help it. There's no stopping this train. MUST KEEP CREATING!

  5. Knotty Pine Paneling is a beautiful way to bring warmth and natural character into any space. The visible knots and rich grain patterns create a cozy, rustic feel that works perfectly in log homes and cabins. At Log Home Shoppe, we appreciate how knotty pine adds timeless charm while remaining durable and easy to maintain for long-lasting interiors. Knotty Pine Paneling
