Shop Spotlight on Twigs and Lace

I want to introduce you to an awesome new shop on Etsy that sells some of the cutest things around. Twigs and Lace, run by my friend Cindy, offers all kinds of goodies, from sweet little hair flowers to decorative embroidery hoops to nature photography. Everything has a very rustic cottage feel to it, but with a modern twist. If your decorating aesthetic runs anything from shabby chic to rustic country then you have got to check her shop out. She also has great Valentine's Day gifts right now!

My favorite is this gorgeous shot of hydrangea flowers in pinks and sepia.

Twigs and Lace may be a new shop, but Cindy is not new to Etsy! She sells her wonderful mixed media and folk art through her shop CindyColumbia1958. Her adorable cat paintings are particularly popular in my family.
Too cute!!

This lovely hook from Monkeyandsquirrel is so understated and sweet and perfect for a cottage. It's just waiting for you to hang up your hat after an afternoon of blueberry picking.

I don't know why, but I feel like bloomers are intrinsically part of a cottage lifestyle. These romantic pantaloons by Bayousalvage come in a variety of tempting colors and have a great story to go with them! I believe a portion of the sales also go to relief efforts for the gulf coast, please check her store for details
