The print is exactly as displayed and described. The colors are great! There was an issue with shipping, but I blame the USPS entirely, they've been awful this year in my area. It said it was delivered, but took an actual week to get to my mailbox. The envelope was pretty beat up and taped together. Luckily, this seller uses quality cardboard envelopes so the print wasn't harmed, Bravo!

On Etsy since 2007

Creating and treasure hunting, a love story.

I opened my shop a while back and It's transitioned through numerous categories over the years. In 2016, I decided to just have it all in one shop. Here, one can find handmade sewn items, jewelry, and ceramics. Also, the shop is dominated by vintage decor, art, and housewares. Enjoy.
