One of my favorite designers friends, Ms. Ivana, posted in her cool blog this really cool vintage shop called “three potato four“, that sells everything from a vintage typewriter to vintage classroom posters. So if you are looking for a cool place to do your christmas shopping this is the place.

Una de mis diseñadoras favoritas, Ivana, puso en su blog esta tienda web, “three potato four“. que vende artículos vintage como máquinas de escribir y tarjetas con ilustraciones vintage. Si estas buscando regalos únicos para estas navidades este es la tienda para ti.

I just love Papaya Art! They have this really unique design mixture of bold colors, collage blends & international flare that is hard to find nowadays in the stationery market. You should totally check out their product line, I wanted to buy the whole store! I love especially their name, since papaya is one of my favorite fruits from back home in Panama (especially as a shake).

¡Me encanta Papaya Art! Ellos tienen una mezcla única de colores brillantes, arte de colaje y temas internacionales que es muy difícil encontrar en el mercado de papelería. Deberian de visitar su tienda y ver su colección inmensa de productos, en lo personal yo queria comprarme la tienda entera! Me encanta especialmente su nombre, ya que la papaya es una de mis frutas favoritas en Panamá (especialmente en batido).

One of the things that inspire me is the use of vintage illustrations, specially products that use collages of  1800′s botanical & garden almanac illustrations. Cavallini & Co. have a very unique collection of  vintage cards, stationery, journals & even gift wrap that use this really cool illustrations.
