DAY 3.....41 WEST DESIGNS



I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO......BRITTANY from 41 WEST DESIGNS (a.k.a) House of Sorensens blog


Britt and I met a few months back when we were voted into the TOP 25 Mom Shops...we were part of a little support group and began exchanges messages and such on our blogs and facebook pages.   She's a mom, blogger and fellow Etsian.

Im a huge love of typography and just letter/number art in general.  So she quickly became one of my favorite typography artists.   Her shop is great and wanted to share with you how she describes herself and how 41 West Designs began (this is from her Etsy bio)


I am the mom to one gorgeous blue-eyed little boy named Jack. I'm the wife to a law student, a sister to three brothers, and daughter to two amazing parents. I love all things vintage and distressed. I love cutting my own wood and distressing each item by hand (- you see, I love power tools just as much as I love purses).

My grandma and grandpa used to run an antique shop in their home in southern Utah. The address was 41 West 100 South. I used to visit them when I was younger and spend 2-3 weeks each summer spending time with them and learning the history of each piece in their shop and home. As I grew up, I developed a love for antiques because of the stories behind each one, and I began to appreciate the value of old things. I started my own antique collection a few years ago, and I love the story behind each purchase I have made, as well as bringing a piece of history into my home.

About a year ago, I began painting signs to give as gifts to my family and friends. I had such a great time doing it, that I started making more and more. My husband suggested that I turn it into a business. While deciding on a name, I knew that 41 West Designs was the perfect fit - my grandparents house and antique shop is my inspiration behind the distressed wood boards (and canvas) I have created for my Etsy shop. While each sign may not be an original antique or vintage sign, they certainly remind me of an old family heirloom passed down through 

generations. 




Here comes the eye candy:
