Shop of the Week: Peg and Awl
You know when you're checking out Etsy or some other site and you come across something really great, I mean really great, and you get excited and you can feel your heart start beating a little faster? (Or is that just me that gets overly dorkily excited about handmade awesomeness?) That's how I felt when Peg and Awl applied for a spot on cosa verde.
Peg and Awl is the husband-and-wife team that is also behind the amazing theblackspotbooks and wandering, and one of my newest obsessions, plundered. SO much creativity there. But I think I love Peg and Awl best.
From their shop description: We rummage through the neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods for housing materials like the pine floor joists that we have so far used in the shoppe to turn into new treasures....Each piece that we make is one of a kind. Many of our pieces are made from Olde Growth Pine joists and beams from 19th century houses in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. These pieces still bare the beautiful marks of a life past such as hard cut nails, blackened nail holes, knots and saw marks.
That's it, folks. I am smitten. And incredibly envious of their ready supply of 19th century floor joists...
