I’m so happy and proud of Ishtar in Madrid today because she has opened her etsy shop after much thought and preparation — I hope that you will browse her designs and perhaps even find something for your home from her small yet sweet shop because I’d love to see some decor8 readers support her new venture. She has totes and art and all of the fabric that you see is organic cotton. So cute. Ishtar named her new business Belart because it is her mother’s last name and she just likes it…

Don’t miss Ishtar’s lovely blog, too! A big hug of support from me to you Ishtar. xo

That bottom print reminds me of the illustrations in this children’s cookbook from the 50′s that my mom passed down to me. I love it!

so pretty! I want one of the prints in my new apartment. and such a lovely blog! I love that it’s in English and Spanish–I suppose I’ll be brushing up on my Spanish skills a bit, but the alternation (as opposed to just plain translation) adds a genuine touch.
The images, however, don’t need any translation. so nice!

I’ve know Ishtar and her work for a while now and she’s absolutely amazing!
I’m glad she got featured here! I’m sure it will give her shop re-opening a very festive (and well deserved) BOOST! :o)
