A couple months ago, I was looking around a little flower boutique when the displays between the vases caught my eye. Beautiful handcrafted vintage images on wood stood and hung delicately from the walls with silk ribbon. I absolutely fell in love, looked up the company and discovered the talented Marta E. Peters of Moonlight & Roses. I spent hours looking through her collection of wall art and greeting cards, vowing to buy up at next paycheck. Then, ho ho, I was at my mother's just last week when I found the woman already owns, like, ten pieces! And I had been so proud of my find...
My mother has already amassed an assortment of M & R collectibles: a free-standing wooden angel, a triptych of angels, and a hanging wall art postcard of Santa Claus. So gorgeous, and so not fair.
The Christmas art is wonderfully whimsical and romantic but after scouring her entire site, I can't choose a favorite. I'm in love with it all. I've been looking for vintage art of Alice in Wonderland like this for years, I'm partial to any beautiful image of this city, love the elegance of Victorian portraits and the memories brought back by scenes of the seaside. Just makes me swoon.
These pieces inspire me to actually do something with the boxes of old greeting cards and postcards I've been pack-ratting over the years. Craft projects just like these! I want to glitter and string them with ribbon, maybe even encase them in glass. Ooh the possibilities! For now, I'll just have to drool over my mother's and call dibs on my inheritance. Blast.
