And then I found Oiseaux.

Oiseaux bookplates are designed by Shelley, an artist-illustrator-designer-painter-gardener who lives in a little cottage in the woods with her husband and 4-year-old daughter. They feature beautiful vintage images and can be customized with any name you choose.
I absolutely love them.

Oiseaux is offering one lucky reader a set of personalized bookplates or a personalized print -- so lovely too -- of their choosing. To enter, please go visit the Oiseaux etsy store and then leave a comment here letting me know which set of bookplates or print you would choose if you win. All entries must be received by December 7 at 12:00 midnight.
Also, please note that the winner's selection will be shipped after January 1 since Shelley is already busily working on holiday orders.

Vintage First Star would be mine of choice. So nice of you to do this for the 12 days of Christmas. Thank you so much. How fun!!http://www.annikagrace.blogspot.com/ (Patty Mears)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! I think my favorite is the "Vintage Girl Swinging." These are a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this link to her Etsy store. Her bookplates truly are lovely! Adorable. I would have to say it would be hard to choose a design as they are all so cute, but I think I'd go with the vintage ring around the rosie. Also really like the vintage bluebird! LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to let you know I just found your blog a few months back through another blog and I love it. Your girls are so adorable and I really enjoy and am inspired by your photography. I just got my first SLR about a year ago and still learning with it, your photography inspires me though!
Have a blessed holiday season!
My choice would be the beautiful Vintage First Star Personalized Bookplates. We live in the south and this bookplate reminds me so much of the southern plantation houses around us.

These are just lovely! I especially like the vintage Storytime. We live in a little woods and enjoy our furry friends oh so much! We also adore books. My husband's grandmother was a teacher and his mother is a middle school media specialist. We have many books from my husband's childhood on display. I plan to frame pages from his favorite childhood book and display on the walls! :) Great, great book plates!
ReplyDeleteThe singing animals ! Loved all of them though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful drawings. I will definitely get some of these - very charming.
Love the ring around the rosy but the snowman would be perfect for our Christmas books. They are just darling!

ReplyDeleteI love the Sugarplum Tree bookplates. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteKristi-once again you come up with a unique way to show your style. Thanks for the give-away. I LOVE to read, and so does Marissa. When I was a little girl my Grandpa (died when I was 4) called me T-Bird. My dad still uses the nickname. So, I like the Vintage Bird Bookplates since they remind me of my love of reading and have my "nickname" on them. Looking forward to finding new items and stores you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. My favorite is the Vintage Sugarplum Tree. Thank you for hosting these fun giveaways; if all of them are as wonderful as this one, you will greatly brighten my holidays and introduce me to some terrific businesses.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I like the Assorted Vintage Little Boy Blank Bookplates. I, too, love and collect books. You're children and sense of style are gorgeous! You inspire us all.
