vintage seashell collection

something about the vintage textiles featured in the debut collection of jumpseat bags reminds me of flying the friendly skies around the islands as a kid. my déjà-vu moment was unshakable until a little digging turned up the little nugget that the company behind the bags is utilizing dead stock from a shuttered miami carrier.

oh well, even if someone else buckled up into airline seats covered in the retro tropical sunset pattern, i still love how seat belts have been repurposed into the handles for jumpseat's handcrafted line which certainly breaths new life into forgotten fabric.

alas, this fusion of new and vintage does not come cheap, but something for the wish list for anyone who wants to bring a hint of glamour from flying's bygone era on-board their next flight.

fresh goodness: heather brown

three wave set * ginger * surfer girl

north shore artist heather brown's newest hand screenprinted tees are just the thing to wear on a lovely summer day. the online shop is also stocked with new prints fresh from heather's latest art show. i, for one, am quite smitten with the latest depictions of heather's delightfully happy little hawaiian birds.

party wave

south point

with the exception of party wave, the original paintings have already been snapped up by savvy buyers but the online offerings include a variety of matted prints (starting at $15 for an 8x10), giclées, and the occasional greeting card.

heather's artwork and tees can also be found at chinatown boardroom.
