Vintage Find of the Day: Brass Tile Letters

There are times when you're searching for one thing that you invariably happen upon something else unexpected that immediately demands your attention. It may not be the most shiny, extravagant or rare item, but something about it captivates you immensely. Our infatuation over typography has grown throughout the years. From the age-old tradition of sign painting, to the discovery of modern typefaces, we've slowly developed a deep rooted obsession with letter forms. Whether it be letter pressed, computer generated or hand drawn calligraphy, the endless nuances of typefaces have continued to fascinate and inspire us throughout the years. Fewer things brings us as much joy as finding vintage goods with vintage typography and our most recent discovery is the perfect marriage of both. Each brass tile has been carefully etched with a beautiful vintage letter and needless to say, we want them all! Whether you're spelling out your name or picking out your first initial, these brass tiles are the perfect way to adorn your house with beautiful vintage typography!

Available at the Paris Market.

Currently Inspired: All things Brass

When it comes to current obsessions, it should come as no surprise that we are infatuated with all things brass! Just take a brief stroll through the store and you'll see brass treasures of all kinds spread throughout all our displays. Of course nothing can compare to the beauty of gold, but brass possesses a certain old world charm, where the unique history of each item can be seen and felt right on its own surface. Depending on the age and use of each object, the tones of brass vary so greatly that it makes us even more drawn to it. Currently a treasure trove of brass, the jewelry bar may be our new favorite nook in the store, where it seems every wonderful brass charm you can think of (and then some) has decided to reside. The collection pictured above is just a fraction of our favorite charms that range all the way from bullet casings to tea strainers! With the holiday decor now out of the house, we need something to fill the voids and you better believe we've got our eyes set on filling those empty spaces with all things brass!
