I came across this beautiful store, Yardia, yesterday and wanted to share my favorite finds with you all! Brigida Swanson, the artist, pairs drawings of period dresses with some of our favorite quotes from Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Charlotte Bronte, and the like. I think her cards would be a wonderful accompaniment to any bridal shower, birthday, graduation, or even wedding present (just make sure to pick the right quote!). Her prints and journals would make sweet gifts for anyone who loves literature, fashion, or amazing women. It was so hard to pick just a few to spotlight, but here's my ultimate faves.
"This is a Gocco printed card taken from one of my original drawings. It features a quotation by Emily Dickinson accompanied by a drawing of a Victorian young lady cradling a bird in her hands."
"This card features a drawing of a Regency period dress accompanied by the phrase, "I am a wild beast." The text is taken from an 1813 letter Jane Austen wrote to her sister Cassandra."
"This card features a drawing of a Regency period dress accompanied by the phrase, "Faultless in spite of all her faults." The text is taken from Jane Austen's novel "Emma"."
Which one is your favorite?
