Discovering Etsy!

Recently i have become rather fond of the website called Etsy, for both inspiration and for personal enjoyment. Below are just a few designers and pieces that i really loved when i found them on the site.

Simple and Serene

Simple and Serene is a shop i found while browsing Etsy; they sell hand drawn pieces of typography. Being a pretty big fan of the Harry Potter books and films, i was immediately attracted to these prints which feature quotes from the character Albus Dumbledore.

Also, i recently finished my typographic quotes which ties in nicely with these pieces. I used one of these quotes in my project, however i took a different approach by using InDesign to produce mine.

Sweet Fine Day/ Whimsy and Spice

I was a little confused as to which name to put this under because both are associated with them. Whimsy and Spice are a confectionery company but they also stock Food related prints in their Etsy store called Sweet Fine Day. 

I love the style these pieces have been done in, they are simple but i think the use of typography is extremely effective. They would be prerfect to display in a kitchen or cafe, especially alongside their own measurement conversions information graphics style images. Not only are they nice to look at but they are useful too!
