vintage finds for a modern world: woodgrain.

soul anagram, from The Pairabirds.
i think we’ve all caught on by now to the fact that woodgrain is kinda like the new black. i mean, that homey, handmade vintage-looking woodgrain is a trend that seems to be sticking around. yeah, it’s been popular for a while, but i gotta admit i have a soft spot for warm woods, and woodgrain. would you use wood? indeed, i would!

i love adding a special decorative touches to homemade gifts, like jams and preserves, and i found some great wood, and wood grain-themed tags and decorative items on etsy that i think add a nice vintage-inspired look to a handmade gift.
