Shop Six on Saturday – Map It

Travel Tips

14 Aug

Here’s the first of our new series, Shop Six on Saturday, featuring themed world travel-inspired items from our favorite handmade and vintage sites. Look out for this each week as we scour the web for small-scale stores and inspirational craftspeople and their unique goodies.

This week we’re featuring children’s pieces made from or inspired by maps – all from our favorite handmade and vintage site, Etsy.com. An artwork featuring a map is a beautiful feature to add to kids’ rooms. Your children will fall asleep dreaming of travel, adventure and discovery, and wake to find the world mapped out before them.
