L-O-V-E Word Art by Blake Marler Photography

BlakeMarlerPhotography_WordArtGiveaway

A note from Blake: 

I create my Word Art pieces using pictures of letters that I have found in nature. The best way I can describe it is: your words, my pictures, Mother Nature.

I love a good story and photography allows me to tell yours. Blake Marler Photography is my freelance photography business; photography is my passion and what I wish I were doing when I’m not doing it! I am available for sessions (family, kids, pets, babies, pregnant mamas-to-be, just about anything) in addition to the Word Art and greeting cards that are available for sale.

please take what you need

please take what you need

Sometimes you just need a little extra…courage….patience…strength….passion….self control….goodness….love.   And even though these little words come from random piece of paper posted in some random spot – maybe, just maybe they could help.

The “Take What You Need” project was started by college student, Katie North from Dallas, TX back in September of 2011. She made the first “Take What You Need” sign and posted it on her college campus and now thousands of them have been spread around the world!  I first heard about the project on the CreativeMarket blog.

 

You can check out the TAKE WHAT YOU NEED Facebook page HERE, where they have these rules posted…

  1. Make a sign now.
  2. Post them everywhere. Some ideas are coffee shops, your office, your school, grocery stores, on light poles, at your front door, in your cubicle, etc., etc.
  3. Take a quick photo of the first day you post it.
  4. Come back a week or two weeks later to see what people needed.
  5. Share your photos and stories of when and where you posted it.
  6. Spread the word all over.

So….make your own sign, or you can print out the one below!  Click image or visit link below.

A note from the owner Amy Herman:

Vintage Charlotte is a two part business, organizing pop-up markets and providing vintage rentals. Our markets combine a traditional craft fair with a flea market.  Everything at the markets are either vintage (20 years or older) or handmade by a local artisan. Sometimes our creative vendors combine vintage and handmade!

The other side of the business, the vintage rentals, keeps me busy during the time I’m not planning a market! We provide a large collection of hand-picked vintage china, flatware, drinkware, and decor to make your wedding or special event an occasion to remember.
