A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon this original gouache and watercolor painting of a Pentax K1000 on etsy, and I immediately fell in love. I had recently received my own Pentax film camera, and I knew that I would love to have this small painting on display in my (future) studio. Right now, my quiet corner will have to do!
Tim & Tara, a husband and wife team, have a gorgeous etsy shop filled with Tim’s paintings and Tara’s photography. I loved how the art was packaged so beautifully, the attention to detail so evident. Most of all, I love the painting itself.
And an even bigger bonus – Tara included one of her original polaroids of summer berries. And oh, how I love polaroids……
It was, quite simply, the perfect package.
so impeccably packed! and wow, an original polaroid is quite the bonus!! it’s so so hard to part with the originals…
Don’t you just love finding ‘connections’ like that? You have a Pentax, then you find a piece of art of a Pentax; you love polaroids – you receive one. Tiny treasures like those make my days!
It’s such a lovely package. I am a big fan of Tara’s blog so now I really know how happy that package is.
Have a beautiful day xo
Don’t you just love when people put a little extra effort into the details? It really makes your day! When I ordered a necklace from Lisa Leonard she did the same thing. Like you, I photographed the packaging!
I want a quiet corner!
i agree- beautifully packaged! love the simple design of the painting! i think it’ll look fabulous in your quiet corner/future studio
I agree, what a perfect little package. Even better for the surprise inclusion of the polaroid. You are a worthy recipient of such valuable little snippets of life as a gift.
so gorgeous!
Alice – I totally agree, the originals are so hard to part with. That is exactly why I will treasure this one!
Tracey – Thanks for pointing out the “connections” – love that perspective.
Thanks for all of your kind words~
Those Thayers are awesome, aren’t they?
They definitely are, Tim.
