daydream :: photography by Carl Christensen

Carl Christensen's photographs make my heart skip a beat. Each image is like a fragment from a dream. Blurred yet beautiful. Soft and delicate. Through his vintage approach to his images, I feel as if a veil has been placed upon me and I have been transported to a peaceful land. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. I could cover my walls, ceiling and floors with every one.

A little about Carl:

I'm a husband, father of three, painter, photographer and environmentally friendly frame maker from Bucks County PA. I have been involved in the arts professionally my whole adult life. I have been selling my photography and making my own frames full time for the past decade. I started Integrity Studio and Bucks County Frames in the winter of 2000 selling my photography of the local landscape out of my trunk at a flea market. Two years later in the spring of 2003 my wife and I opened our gallery in the art community of New Hope PA. My photography is an ongoing experiment. I enjoy working with old equipment and I love to dabble with light and create effects with the weather. I don't set out to shoot anything, but I am always looking for the shot. Each and every one of my frames is a unique piece of art. Visit Carl's Etsy Shop Here. And mention you saw Carl's photography on Ever So Lovely with any purchase and you will get a free photo of "Big Top".

natural talent :: paintings by Laura George

I've always been a firm believer that if you listen close enough to nature's beauty, you will be inspired. This philosophy shines through in Chicago artist and illustrator Laura George's works of art. Her whimsical paintings combine natural wood backgrounds with colorful illustrations featuring line and pattern.

buckle up :: handmade accessories by Vintage In Retrospect

Looking for something to give to your man this St. Patty's Day (other than a green beer)...well look no further! Amanda with Vintage In Retrospect creates unique one of a kind belt buckles made out of vintage license plates. I absolutely LOVE the ones combining retro colors with typography. Such an awesome concept and well executed design!

Here is what she had to say about her designs: "I'm twenty-seven, and married to a great man who takes over the house chores when I have lots of buckles to make. Making these buckles is pretty dangerous at every step, with fumes and cutting by hand, but this just makes the whole experience thrilling and challenging."

"My favorite step is finding the license plates. We drove across country last year, so I was able to visit some junkyards, flea markets, antique stores, garage sales, and sometimes dumpsters along the way. Finding the plates was the best part of the trip for me."
