Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Nichole of Wild Heart Histories; a lifestyle brand that focuses on retro and vintage ideals while also embracing the arts and crafts movement of this generation.  

I create illustrations, stationary, and porcelain goods (to name a few) that tie in my love of vintage, wild nature, and art.  My hope is to market and sell these items on Etsy - as soon as they are I will post an announcement here! The pieces can be light and airy, or more reflective and spiritual using imagery from nature and interesting pieces of ephemera from the late 1800's all the way through the 1960's.  

More and more people are finding ways to return to their roots - whether it be starting an urban garden, using salvaged goods from a local flea market to make a house a home, or using grandmother's recipe for old-fashioned tea cakes, there is a definite nod to our past.  And why shouldn't there be?  Things might not have been perfect in the "good ol' days", but there is something to be said for craftsmanship, making something from scratch, and a good day of hard work and elbow grease.  

I feel a definite tie to this movement and work hard to make sure my art reflects those ideals, histories, and spirit.  Each work is completely hand made and I use a variety of different medias such as ink, watercolor, scrapbook paper, photographs, and old letters (see an example of my work below).   


I hope you enjoy my blog as I set off on this wild adventure of mine and are able to find something for you within it!  Be sure to check back often for weekly updates and go to the projects page for free printables and fun DIY ideas!

 My Etsy store should be up and running within a few weeks time so I hope you will stop back by to check out my collection soon!
