                                                                     my work? I wish!
                                                                    my belongings? I wish, too!

good afternoon everyone!...as promised, here I am, discussing notebooks and boy! do I have ones to adore to share with you! I'm delighted to share with you the work of  {N i k a  P e r n e}, an etsy seller whose work I discovered via an etsy treasury, as we were both featured together in one, that is if my memory doesn't fail me. I must be very careful about the amount of input I'm exposed to, especially when wanting to focus on quality!

Being a rather picky person I must admit, to completely fall in love with the work of someone is already a big deal. To feel that someone's work represent me so much, that I could have also produced something similar is another big deal!


Let me sum together the kind of notebooks that you'be finding in Nika's shop:

~ ones with hand drawn geometric illustrations
~ monochrome ones, plain or with messages
~ monochrome ones with photographs - single ones or collages of them
~ ones with stripes

What about the colour pallete she uses?

~ pastels mostly in pinks &  light blues
~ naturals in grey & beiges
~ bright pinks & turquoises
~ blues, bordeauxs & dark greens

I Love Her Work!
Why?

~ it combines drawing, illustration, photography & notebook making into one
~ eco friendly, using mostly recycled paper
~ carefully thought wrapping
~ all made by herself, 100% handmade, 100% professional
~ gorgeous product pictures & general sense of styling + aesthetics
~ clean lines & minimalism in a captivating way!

  1. Oh, I am so moved right now that I can not say how much :) lovely collages and such beautiful words.

    I can just say the same about your work and your aesthetic, the colours and photos in your etsy shop are just amazing. As I was looking the photos of your apartment on your blog and flickr, I was amazed. So I am realy happy that a person with a great style and wonderful sense of what is beautiful likes my notebooks so much :)

    Thank you for this amazing presentation,
    it means so much to me
