Prints and Charms Inspired by Vintage Books

I've always loved children's books and I have quite a collection that I've gathered over the years. Most of my books are vintage, because I have a love for the hand drawn artwork and watercolor prints found among their pages.

In today's feature shop, JBling on Etsy, you'll find not just vintage storybooks of times gone by, but also contemporary prints and artwork inspired by many of the vintage storybooks from bygone years.

Lots of adorable artwork is scattered through the shop, offered in the form of both prints and note cards. And in the "Reading List" section you'll find a large section of vintage children's books as well!

Paul Bunyan and Christopher Robin sit side by side with other old favorites from Tom Sawyer to vintage Mickey Mouse!

If you're like me and love the whimsical artwork that was popular in decades past, or even if you just want to take a walk down memory lane, be sure to stop by and take a browse around!

Paintings and Art Journals by TeoStudio

TeoStudio on EtsyToday's artisan is a woman after my own heart. Like myself, she has a great love for books. Their smell, their appearance. How they feel. What they represent.

Teo, from Portugal, is a book lover at heart from the top of her head to the tips of her toes and those talented fingers, as well as a freelance artist. She comes from a family of painters and craftsmen and has carried with her a love for arts and crafts since childhood.

At TeoStudio on Etsy, Teo offers beautiful books with a vintage flair and breathtaking craftsmanship that she's created by hand while trying to preserve as much as possible the reality of the materials she uses and bring to light their beauty through craftsmanship and conservation.

With an eye for artisan beauty and the skills to make beautiful books that will last forever, Teo has carved herself out a niche on Etsy that is both breathtaking as well as fascinating. You'll love a browse through her shop, and if you're anything like me, be tempted to buy out every piece she has in stock!

And, for even more enjoyment, this is a shop that I also recommend browsing through her sold items. There's over 200 to browse through and because each of her pieces is a beautifully crafted piece of artwork, you're sure to enjoy taking a peek through there as well!

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO VISIT TEOSTUDIO'S SHOP ON ETSY AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND OR, IF YOU PREFER, YOU CAN CLICK RIGHT HERE.

You can also visit Teo on the Teo Studio Website or stop by the Teo Studio Blog for a quick visit as well!
