Here is the one-by-one listing of today's Favorites on Fridays - the gorgeous finds from Etsy. Here is everything you need to create your own Art Nouveau Paradise!
How adorable! They are less than 3 inches large and I want them all - especially the M-U-S-E :) :) :)
Are they birds in love or is it one admiring it's own reflection? Whatever you decide, the gorgeous symmetrical design and ivery, green combination is so sweet and gorgeous. A lovely piece of home decor!
At first I did not know what this was, but upon closer inspection, I found it is a recovered ottoman/footrest fit for a princess. Can you imagine this in a modern room with black, white and peacock blue accents? Sigh.. I really want to rest my footsies on this!
Obsessed, much? Yes, yes I am. I love the smooth shading, her twisting, curling locks, and smoldering stare. The tonal color story makes it a perfect and sophisticated accent for any wall in your house. Such a statement piece and truly a treasure.
Love this colorful, patterned little box to bring a little pop to your dresser. You can keep jewelry or hidden love notes in it. Whatever you keep, it should be as precious as it's holder. :)
These amazing vintage vases should be filled with expensive champagne and shared with all the royal court (well, if that is what you call your closest friends, anyway). They take my breath away, truly! Go ahead, you can wear your tiara with these babies on the table.
Can't... stop.. staring.. swirly.. twirly.. LOVE this beautiful painting and I'm completely mesmerized with the flowing line work and rich contrast of ruby red flowers against the aqua blues. So beautiful!
For the super cool musician, what a gorgeous guitar and fine nouveau etching. Be the envy of the band with this gorgeous piece while you play all your favorite tunes.
A lovely way to add a little special touch to your kitchen cabinets. After all, Art Nouveau is all about making our day to day lives more enriched with art and beautiful pattern :)
Love this pillow! The colors are a little retro and the pattern is so fun. The exotic feathers bring happy elements of nature and a bit of the tropical, while keeping the Nouveau theme. Love, love love! Did I mention I love it?
Groovy, baby. This amazing artwork is painted on wood panel. As the elegant cloud goddess bike rides her way across the sky, it feels so whimsical and modern at the same time. Where would you hang it?
There is something quite captivating in this piece. Who knows, maybe it's because I'm a Gemini that I'm drawn to these twins enjoying the comforts of familiarity. The teal blues and off white colors have a cool, vintage feeling and I love how their hair takes the form of ribbon like waves. They seem weightless and immortal.
The full moon, night sky, and blooming tree against the gold seem quite regal, and just a bit spooky. What a wonderful, magical piece! Love the ornate scroll work around the edges - perfect for the Witchy Woman in you.
You cannot have a Peacock pouf and pillow without the vessel to match! Love this gorgeous piece. It is, of course, hand crafted and so lovely. The feathers wrap around this piece as if they are floating in the wind on an afternoon day. Just looking at it makes me happy!
I feel like this is the Art Nouveau version of Snow White escaping into the woods. She looks so innocent and beautiful, while the clawing branches reach out for her and the dark shadows in the background represent the foreboding danger ahead. Despite the pastel color story, the painting feels quite dramatic - and I want to eat it up!
Wondering what to toss your favorite fruit in or do you need a pretty bowl to hold some floating flowers in? This is it! Hand painted, gorgeous detailed line work all around the edges make this beauty a one of a kind treasure. I would like a whole set, please.
This is a quilt. Yes, I'm serious - a quilt! Quite possible the most beautiful quilt I've ever seen. Just look at all the tonal shades of gorgeous reds, browns, greens, golds. The modern slivers of the design. I just may run out of words here, but all in all, I'm beyond impressed with the skills it took to create such a masterpiece. And the fact that it is in the nouveau style, well excuse me I think I'm drooling.

I love being able to see all the art close up! You have the greatest Favorites on Friday post! I don't think of myself as ornamental, but I find myself SO attracted to the pieces! So sorry to see you leaving the Etsybloggers thread; hope to see you back soon. {:-Deb

What a Wonderful selection. Every other piece, I was saying to myself, "OH, this is my favorite" and then having to amend it. "No, This is!" Beautiful.
Those green vases are to die for!! Beautiful!
Great blog! I enjoyed each and every one of your selections! I see I will be adding several more etsy shops to my favorites.

Really lovely collection!
Art nouveau is also my passion because what was going on from the late 1800's to even the nineteen thirties really makes me wish I could have seen the art and books on faerytales progressing. I think that the Belle Epoque signifies an appreciation for a more swirling, free form expression, while adoration was at its peak in art for Nature. I love your silk art so much. Thanks for adding me on facebook! Great to see you! Blessings.
I think I just accidentally got rid of what I just wrote, but, know that I appreciate your art and the Belle Epoque represents for me a love of all we dream for in childhood; Nature's sweet closeness, infinite possibilities, stories, swirling freer forms in art with an embrace of fine lines and faery fun. Everything from the buildings, the furniture, the sculpture, the lighting said, "Life is a beautiful thing. Become part of the magic. As you read see that a lily pad light adds to the richness of your experience, etc. I love our time, as well, because there are such great publications now with like Stampington and Cloth, Paper, Scissors that show what is happening in art and it is exquisite. I adore the art you contribute to this world. Thanks for that. Blessings.
