Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!

Welcome to another Wednesday Window Shopping on Etsy!  For those of you new to this feature, I like to browse through Etsy using certain search words related to a weekly theme and show you some of the wonderful handmade items found in a particular category!  This week I'd like to keep with the trends for January predicted in From Etsy's Merchandising Desk as a guide for choosing our theme.  One huge category of trends predicted is:  Farmhouse references, vintage industrial decor, chalkboard and writable surfaces, vintage cameras, letterpress drawers, and typewriters."  Lots of ground to cover here...so let's split this up into two posts and this week we will cover:  Farmhouse references, vintage industrial decor, and chalkboard and writable surfaces.  Let's begin!
