More beautiful plant art.

I will be adding what was going to be September’s collection to Libro Curio THIS weekend. Some lovely finds as well as a new glass size I’m testing out. (Here’s to hoping they all make it out alright! 🤞🏻)

I have something else lovely planned for September / October as autumn slowly approaches. 🍂 🎃

Happy Friyay.

By far one of my favorite finds this time around. This one will be a hard one to let go. So much sweetness in one little pendant.

I have some lovely pieces currently being prepped for the glassing phase for this months circa 1935 release. Hoping to have them in shop by the end of the week.

I have loads of exciting additions planned for the next couple of months as well.

My heart has been filled from those who’ve already ordered in just the first month of being back. 💕 Thank you to those patrons & my loved ones for helping me continue to keep my passion project alive.

The larkspur represents July’s birth flower. Love it when I can find flower illustrations in the dictionaries. They are quite lovely.

Happy Sunday! Today I’m taking pictures of the last big batch of treasures to add to the shop. Lots of plants this time around. 🌱 Future releases after this month will be much smaller but I have lovely new styles coming that I’m quite excited to add. Cheers!

Happy Monday! Finally got some time to take pictures so there are loads of new Legacy pieces in shop.

✨Also finished glassing a huge batch last night. I’m quite eager to share them! Little sneak peek attached.

Happy Friday. Here’s a 🦷. I’m very fond of anatomy illustrations and even more so the stories that are shared with me for whom their body part pendant is going to. I’m glad there are people that appreciate wearing these pieces that are a little more peculiar.

Featuring another of the larger selections in shop right now is the lovely gladiolus. The birth month flower for August symbolizes strength of character and generosity.

I was so pleased this one made it out alive during the glassing process. 😍 It reminds me of the wake of vultures that hangs outside the bookstore when it’s cooler out. Some day when they return I’ll share a picture of their magnificence. For now, enjoy shots of this vulture pendant that will be in shop soon!

I snuck in some large pendants for the Flora I Legacy Collection. I’m very excited to have these larger sizes back in a more wearable format. They look so good with outfits. The flowers are the best.

Sharing one of the pieces that will be in shop on the 21st for the Solstice release. This one is definitely one of my favorites. Always have a hard time letting the tarantulas and spiders go. I try and find at least one of these eight legged friends for each month’s releases to honor Anansi.

It’s with an anxiously excited heart that I would like to share I have begun to slowly fill my shop with the Flora I Legacy Collection. These pieces all still come from vintage dictionaries but the information I had for their exact source has been lost from the move. Once the piece has sold, if the image is ever found again, it will return to normal shop prices. So if you see something neat I highly encourage you to grab it while you can. I will be open for custom requests as well. ♡ Enjoy for now! 🌿 librocurio.Etsy.com
