Etsy find: Earthy-inspired prints

As you can imagine, my Etsy favorites section is overwhelmingly long. There is hardly a day that goes by when I don't find something I'm smitten with (if only I had the budget and space to invest in all these awesome pieces). Perusing through my list today, I noticed The Wheatfield Shop and I can't believe I never posted Katie's lovely prints. No Florida or DC ones yet, but some lovely, earthly prints, quotes and maps are available.

Love these!

Print love: California street maps

I've shared my love for maps a time or two here, a penchant I think stems from the fact that I've moved about seven times and probably also from my innate need to compensate for my lack of directional sense. But all digressing aside, I was excited to stumble on some cool prints featured on La Belle Vie's Tumblr account a few days ago. The California collection from Pink Bathtub Designs is fun and cute, and if I had actually ever been to California, I would probably snatch these up in a heartbeat. But since I've yet to make it out to the West Coast, I'm hoping that a Florida or DC line will be in the works soon.

Enjoy!

Map it

I've ultimately come to the decision that in a previous life, I must have been an urban planner. Despite my innate lack of directional sense, I have a serious penchant for maps. Maybe it's just my passion for travel, but I love the details in maps and the sense of exploration they evoke.

In case you share the same inclination, here are some of my recent, favorite map-like finds:
