UPDATE: The first two shops (same seller) have been removed per the shop owners request. I’ve updated this post to include two new sellers, enjoy!
It’s Tuesday! Yes, already! I feel sometimes that the gap between Tuesdays gets slimmer and slimmer – where does the time go? And can you believe that we’re so quickly moving into 2010? When I was talking to my friend about this last night we both agreed — it doesn’t feel like holiday time yet, we’re both in agreement that it still feels like Autumn here or that we’re at the beginning of October still. Frankly, I’m not sure where Autumn went this year. What about you? Same thing? As our streets are preparing for the big Christmas markets here to open tomorrow morning, I’m still thinking of pumpkin pie and leather jackets — not wool hats and mittens. Okay so enough about the weather… let’s talk about Etsy shops and who is on the decor8 radar this week. Ready to check out the top shops today?
Julianna Bright has some colorful and imaginative prints in her shop – bright, just like her last name!
Bloomsong has some gorgeous hand printed textiles from Paris along with a little vintage fabric too, you’ll like them I’m sure of it. :)
White Owl is a collaboration between two sisters who love vintage finds and their grandmother’s jewelry box and pull together some rather lovely pieces of jewelry.
Roddy and Ginger, who I’ve blogged about before, recently opened a new shop on etsy. Yay! I love their folksy Scandinavian aesthetic and pretty things for the home.
Imagine Studio in Montreal is so very unique and surreal, her digital collages are mesmerizing…

These are all such beautiful shops! Painted White took me back to my childhood when I noticed a statue (the one of the girl with her hands over her ears) that is identical to the one my aunt had. I used to stare at it for hours and make up all kinds of stories about it when I was little.
Thanks for introducing me to this shop!

Wow! Imagine Studio’s digital collages really look as if they should be in a magazine, don’t you think?

Imagine Studio’s collages are surreal. The girl with the pearl earring (no, I meant bird) is hauntingly Vermeer – except on a darker note. Do you see that?!

these are beautiful holly. thanks for the great selections. your taste is so specific and lovely – all the images you have on your blog seem like they share DNA, even though they’re from so many different places and people. you can really see the “holly thread” throughout it all.
also, to get in the thanksgiving spirit, i’d love if you and your readers would come over to my blog and join the discussion today of what we’re each thankful for. there are some cozy fall images too :)

I can’t help but wonder if Imagine Studios’ also took those photos? I think I’ve seen some of them in magazines. Either she’s also a talented photog or hopefully she’s giving credit to the photographer who took the models pic to begin with.

i agree, i’m certainly not ready for the holidays yet. i’m just now getting into the pumpkin thing. (but fall always comes late to l.a. anyway). i used to make fun of my mom for always saying how time flies and how time speeds up as you get older and now i find myself saying and thinking those very same things!
i love everything in this post but esp. the roddy and ginger prints – actually, i like that house print but in pillow form (and in the olive colorway)…i just might have to get one for the living room!

aww everything you featured on this post is so beautiful. i especially love the printed textiles, jewelry, and the collaged photography (i’m blown away! but after reading some of the comments, i do hope that she does all the photography as well or has been giving credits back to the photographer…) thanks again for sharing! :) have a great weekend! xoxo :)

All picks featured are so beautiful ! I especially love the wonderful editorial shots taken by Imagine Studio. Admittedly though, I am usually partial to photographers :)

A huge OMG to Imagine Studio! My jaw dropped when I saw her work. Her photographs look almost like paintings and they seriously blew me away. Thanks for sharing!

Surely she is using photographs ethically in her collage– maybe they are her photos, maybe they are old enough to be out of copyright, maybe she has permission from the copyright holder. (Giving credit back to the photographer is not enough. Permission is required.) Of course, it’s completely unethical to scan current fashion magazines and use those images to create derivative works without permission of the copyright holder.
