NEW products, Rustic & Vintage Puerto Rico

The beauty of natural materials is like an oasis when living a stressful, urban city. The presence of materials easily found in nature influences the mood & our environment. Marilyn (being the consummate craftperson that she is) came up with these and they were on FIRE during the holidays. She used my original photographs of Puerto Rico and transferred them onto basswood plaques and created some beautifully, rustic home decor pieces. 
 

Vintage and nostalgic, these pieces are similiar to the popular wood panel art found in many shops throughout Puerto Rico and makes for the perfect gift or housewarming present for the person in your life who holds Puerto Rico and travel near to their heart. This beauty comes sealed with a luster/semi gloss finish, hanging hardware and free giftwrap. Want one? Visit the etsy shop HERE.

OPENING NIGHT AT THE QUEENS NIGHT MARKET

The opening night of the Queens Night Market was electric and awesome! The vast majority of vendors who attended were by far, food vendors. But we had more than a few customers who purchased my most popular NYC and Puerto Rico prints. We even ended up selling out of my Gratitude card sets! This was a wonderful event we were happy to be apart of! Check out a NY Times article on the Queens Night Market here. 

Mother's day - HER WAY

Can we take a moment to talk about Mother’s day and the woes of all “Hallmark holidays”? You love your mother, mothers’, grandmother, aunt, sister, etc. They’re unique, special and if you could, you’d give them any and everything their heart desires. Yet, Mother’s day is right around the corner and “any” and “everything” you come across are completely generic. 

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love the wonderous experience of travel, and the nostalgia a beautiful image from that moment in time quickly evokes long after we’ve settled back into real life. Maybe that special mother in your life is from Puerto Rico and hasn’t been able to visit in ages. She dreams of being back en la isla, overlooking at the mountains of Caguas and the glorious foliage found within El Yunque. This is the reason why I created a collection of beautiful, quality, custom-made calendars, gratitude cards, framed prints and gift sets; all of which are available on my etsy shop here. They’re super cute and such a unique gift that will last well beyond a box of chocolates, a massage or dinner! Check them out below and be sure to visit my etsy shop for details and customization options.
