Meet Anne Wendlandt of Enna {Hannover}
Ready to be totally inspired? I recently mentioned Anne Wendlandt, also known as Enna, promising that if she allowed me to take photos of her new shop here in Hannover that I would share them with you. Well, I met the lovely Anne today and spent time with her visiting her shop/work studio and I walked away with a skip in my step because I felt so inspired by this young, talented artist.
This wall was painted by Anne to look like wallpaper, don't you love it?She used regular flat latex paint in her favorite colors and created a stencil by hand that she applied to the wall to repeat the pattern. Clever!
Meet Anne Wendlandt of Enna.
Her storefront, complete with a logo designed and made by Anne.Anne is so nice and open, very easy to talk to and so excited about being a part of a design blog as she is just starting to explore the whole world of blogging and selling online so I'm just as thrilled to talk about her work here on decor8.
She has an etsy store, a DaWanda shop, and a store on her website. In addition to all of this, she creates many things by hand, she's a talented illustrator, and a graphic designer along with a shop owner, so Anne is a busy lady. I'm so excited to share her store with you because there are so many little details and pretty things to tell you about. Would you like to know more? Okay, here's a little tour.
She won this great "e" light on eBay Germany, isn't it the best? Now I want one! I thought it was the cutest thing ever.
Here are some of her fabrics and the handmade rubber stamps she uses for her designs. She told me how to make handmade stamps, so I'm quite excited to give it a try. I may ask her if I can take a class with her, I'd love to learn a few things from her to apply as a hobby, there's so many fun things to do to personalize your space.
She has a tree in the middle of her space, with her name carved into it. I thought this was a charming detail that I had to share with you.
A pillow designed by Miss Enna.
What does Anne design? I guess a better question is, what doesn't this girl do? :) She does so much. She crafts earrings out of polymer clay that she then hand paints, she designs postcards, pillows, shirts, hoodies, and onesies for baby, plates, iron-on patches, wrapping paper, softies, marketing materials for her business, her website, the signage on the window of her shop, the list goes on and on. She is inspired by so much, she certainly doesn't want to limit herself to just one thing.
These are plates that she found at a second hand store, and after cleaning them up, she applied her illustrations to them and displays them as art in her shop. I asked if she'd consider selling them to me, so I'm awaiting her decision because she'd not been asked before. I encouraged her to consider creating more and selling them in her shop and online, I really think people would like to own these.
She also sells items from etsy sellers that she loves and Japanese products, so this shop has lots of pretty things to look at and purchase. She's expecting an order of goodies from Japan any day now, so I will have to return to Enna to see her new stock once it arrives, of course! Who can resist Japanese zakka cuteness?
This is her new wrapping paper, don't you love the pattern? This folksy style is really big right now, especially these Russian dolls called matryoshkas. They've been in all the magazines for the past 6 months, you can't help but notice a trend here. Between Asian prints, African patterns, and folk-inspired patterns from Russia and Poland, there's something for everyone this season. Oh, by the way, you can buy this wrapping paper from her for only $4 on etsy if you'd like. I grabbed a sheet today, I want to line my desk drawer with it. Here's some of my loot from today...
I hope you enjoyed this little shop tour today. For the locals, Enna is located in Hannover Linden at Deisterstra?e 68 and I really encourage you to see it in person.
