Allow me to introduce... PaperWoodVintage! (contest)

Kristy and her husband, who run the PaperWoodVintage store on Etsy, came up with their shop's name by simply stating the types of items you will find there... paper, wood and vintage.

Cute Owl Stationary Set, ($5)
Their delightful Etsy shop is filled with old things made new, creative and cute stationary, and random little odds and ends.

While her husband works full time, Kristy stays home and creates, sometimes with the help of their five children, aged 21, 13, 12, nine and three. She says that some of her favorite items in the store are repurposed vintage items. She loves "giving them new life" like "making a pair of pewter candlesticks new again by painting them apple green."

Each page on the PaperWoodStore store is full of color and life. Kristy says that she loves bright and bold colors, which is reflected by her home. "I am a bold color person," she says. "My rooms in my house are bold. We have a turquoise bathroom, an orange bathroom, a red kitchen, and so on. The world needs bold colors!"

Find items in the store in many price ranges, from sweet greeting cards for just $2, to your very own cigar box guitar, custom made by Kristy's husband.

 When she's not busy being artistic, Kristy enjoys gardening, going to yard sales, searching for treasures at thrift stores, spending time with her family and being active in her church.

  4. The cigar box guitar is awesome! Some people are just so creative! Very cute owl stationary as well. My husband claims he once saw an owl swoop down and grab a mouse one night in the park by our house.

    Also, great blog idea Kelsie!
