Announcement    HildaLea is proud to sell vintage maps in addition to state wall art and place-related mugs, because we believe that being nostalgic for where you've been and excited for where you're going next isn't an oxymoron. It's wonderful to have tangible reminders of the cities, states, or countries that you've walked through and lived in, while mentally preparing for the next adventure.

Please send me a message if there is a place that is near and dear to your heart that you aren't seeing in my shop! I would love to find a special map just for you.

**Note that I am not responsible for items delayed by the post office. I will deliver packages to the post office within 1-3 days of purchase (sooner if you pay for expedited shipping), but if there is a USPS delay (bad weather/holiday rush/etc) then that is out of my control and shipping will not be refunded. **

Maps and State Wall Art for Nostalgic Travelers

How did a shop full of vintage maps and state wall art come to be named Hilda Lea? Well...

Before Hilda Lea became my grandmother, she was many things: a daughter, a Finn, a mother, a Yooper, and The Queen of Crafting. She would sew, knit, crochet, do needlepoint, embroider, cross-stitch, paint ceramics, and do totally random crafts like make mouse Christmas tree ornaments out of felt and beads and unshelled Brazil nuts (this is 100% true and I will gladly send a picture to anybody who thinks otherwise).

My own mother was very mess-adverse, which is why every day after school I would race to my grandma's magical lair (aka her basement) of old photo albums, magazines, fabric, and all of the glue and sequins a child could imagine! Even when my creative endeavors turned out rather poorly, she was a constant source of encouragement.

I still spend a lot of time honing my crafty skills and cultivating my love of old books, maps, and photos. When I finally decided to name my Etsy Shop, I couldn't think of anything more appropriate than to honor the woman who planted the seeds of vintage/crafty love in my soul.

Frequently asked questions
Are Your Maps Original or Reproductions?

Many of my maps are originals that were found in old books or travel brochures, etc. Any listings for reproduced maps will say that they are "prints" and/or mention being digitally scanned/reproduced in the item description.

What If My Package is Delayed During Shipping?

I am not responsible for items delayed by the post office. I will deliver packages to the post office within 1-3 days of purchase (sooner if you pay for expedited shipping), but USPS delays due to bad weather/holiday rush/etc are out of my control and shipping will not be refunded.

Can I cancel a custom order after designing has occurred?

Yes you can, however, when a buyer cancels an order after a design proof has been shared with them, a refund will be less a $5 design fee.

This covers the cost of the seller's time that was spent creating a design before the order was cancelled.

Cancellations made before a design has been provided will always be refunded 100%.

Do I see a custom design before it is created?

Yes! All custom and personalized order designs are shared with the buyer for final approval before creation of your item takes place.
