5 questionw with Lu from Summersville on Etsy

how did your etsy story begin? 
When I'd just had my second baby, 6 years ago, I did a google search for 'interior design' and I discovered the design blogs 'Decor8' and 'Design*Sponge'. It opened up a whole new world to me, and both blog authors kept mentioning this 'Etsy' place...I clicked on it and was instantly hooked. 
I first started with a shop called 'lusummers' where I sold original paper collages which was a big success for a few years, but wanted to experiment more with screen printed fabrics so opened up 'Summersville' a few years later. It was too difficult keeping up with 2 small boys and 2 Etsy shops, so I closed one.

where do you get your inspiration from?
I'm a big collector of charity shops (thrift stores) so I keep my eyes peeled for vintage ceramics, and they have a big influence. Living on a farm has a big impact on my work too.

what describes your work?
Whimsical, fun & simple

what advice do you have to other etsy sellers?
Keep your shop updated all of the time. Take great photos. Tweet. Start a blog. Be patient and love what you do.

name a favourite something, it could be anything.
Sitting in the sunny garden reading shelter magazines, drinking tea, eating cake and watching my boys play.

Friday treasury with guest curator Bobbie from on Etsy AtHomeModern on Etsy

A hot piece of brass


In May 2010, my husband and I purchased a very special mid-century home. Since we were on a budget, I quickly set to furnishing the house in vintage pieces found at auctions, tag sales, online and occasionally, even from the trash. What I realized very quickly was not only did I love doing this, but that I was good at it! My home is almost finished, so I've decided to help others in their pursuit of mid century gems. I now specialize in finding mid century furnishings and decor for clients desiring anything from a special stand-out piece to total mid-century make over. My Etsy shop is a fun collection of items from the 1950's, 60's and 70's that I find when I am out sourcing for clients.

Lately, I've been encountering a lot of interesting brass objects. I had to admit, I'm a little surprised to find myself attracted to them - I grew up in a house full of brass, and swore it off as hideous for years! But now, I find a certain elegance and beauty in its color and the patina it acquires with age. It also has a hint of glamor and can give warmth to an interior. I hope you enjoy my treasury!
