Welcome AnthologyHouse

I am thrilled to welcome a wonderful new sponsor to Chinoiserie Chic - a fabulous Etsy store called AnthologyHouse. Started by Amy and Alyse in Seattle, Washington, they have a great eye and their beautifully curated shop has some really lovely pieces. Each week I will be choosing my top picks from their store. Pieces are added all the time and grabbed quickly, so be sure to visit often to see their new finds and my picks of the week. I asked them to tell us a bit about AnthologyHouse.

"We created AnthologyHouse to showcase some of our favorite vintage objects for the home. We carefully curate our shop with vintage pieces that date back to the 1950 -1970's, our favorite decades of the past that bring you Hollywood Regency, Mid-Century Modern, Chinoiserie, and Preppy Chic inspired designs. Our hand-picked objects for the home are not mass produced and often one of a kind. We believe our pieces will spark conversation and add a touch of glam and style to your home.

We are so excited to partner with Beth at Chinoiserie Chic and feature some of our exclusive Chinoiserie pieces we've personally shopped in our own backyard, the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We are fortunate to live in an area that is heavily influenced by the diverse Asian cultures that reside in Seattle. It allows us to shop for one of a kind Chinoiserie pieces featuring faux bamboo, vintage brass, tea tins, ginger jars, cloisonné vases, and lovely pagoda shaped lamps.


Stay tuned for Beth's hand-picked Chinoiserie Chic Picks of the week from our Etsy shop,
http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnthologyHouse. We will be adding new vintage Chinoiserie inspired pieces to the shop on a weekly basis. You can also follow our shopping journeys where we chronicle our finds on our blog www.anthologyhouse.net and seek out more of our visual discoveries on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest."

Happy Shopping!

Charming Elizabeth offers personalized calling cards, business cards, bookplates, stationery, wine labels, kitchen labels, and more in designs based on historical period style from medieval to Elizabethan to Art Nouveau to Chinoiserie. I have shown my Chinoiserie favorites here, but there are many choices whatever your taste and style.

Welcome Artist Susan Brown

I am happy to welcome artist Susan Brown as an Etsy Sponsor of Chinoiserie Chic. Susan has a special interest in Chinoiserie as you can see. Visit her Etsy shop to view her current collection of original paintings, prints, and even furniture. A very cool idea is the way she has upcycled unusable vinyl record albums into works of art with prints of her paintings. Have you see record frames at places like Michaels? - I have shown an example below. I think a grouping of these album prints framed would be wonderful. You can find Susan's link in my sidebar - check back often as she is always adding new works of art.
