CarolinaCottage

Carolina Cottage is my online shop. I make items you can use in your home or office, give as gifts, or simply enjoy yourself. We all have stuff in our homes.

I like to work with vintage papers such as dictionary pages, maps and sheet music. "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." - William Morris. I would have to say that that is the guiding principle in my work. That stuff might as well be beautiful; or at least interesting. So I alter things - plain wood trays, marble tiles, tea light holders and more. I prefer using maps, sheet music and dictionary pages in my work, but am easily seduced my cool-looking modern papers. As well as being useful, many of my items make great gifts!
