Vintage Goodness @ the Etsy Shop

Good Morning! It is once again snowing here in New England, and rather bleak. Time to light some yummy scented candles. I always go for the ones that smell like baked goods; Buttercreme, Creme Brulee, Spiced Pumpkin , Yum!!
I've added another lovely collection of vintage ephemera to the shop. This is the Paris Parcel-all Paris-themed items. Also, I was able to rework the price on my Vintage Ledger Packet; it's now $15 instead of $20. Yay. And I still have a couple of my popular French Paquets left.

So excited...

Hello All! I'm so excited to have my "French Pacquet" chosen to be among Etsy's top sellers of 2008. A winning vote will provide MSD Design with much needed and appreciated publicity & honor. Go here to vote. Only five days left! Thank you for your support!

Discovering Derian

Greetings! While surfing the 'net today, I discovered designer/decoupage artist John Derian at Anne's Blog. (Which, incidentally, she's got a good thing going on, too. I'd LOVE a "Subscription to Delight". )Anyways, back to John Derien. I'm completely entranced by his work. The designs are random, simple images plus ephemera, mixed and layered, perfectly, somehow...I can't put a finger on it, but these simple images; a fir tree, an insect, a word, are elevated to icon status in his beautiful collages. Enchanting.
