Scooter Love

As a designer, I’m always looking at websites and blogs and Etsy (oh I heart Etsy!).  I notice trends—some I love, some… not so much.  Recently with spring and summer on the way I spied quite a few “Scooter” or “Vespa” items—how fun is THAT? I lived in Europe as a teenager, and seeing Vespas was an everyday occurrence. I have always loved them and one day when I move somewhere that is warm most of the time… (Can we say San Juan? Caribbean? How I digress!)

Ok, where was I? Yes, Vespa Love is in the air! I found this bag on Etsy, and they have it in several colors. I love how it’s printed as partial views.

But since I’m a DIY girl(and so are you), I wanted to know what fabric is out there with scooters? My buddy Kathy Mack of Pink Chalk Studio finds the most amazing fabrics, and there is an amazing Vespa print! It comes striped! How easy is that? It’s great in that bag isn’t it? I need it.

Let’s say you are more a paper person: how about a stamp?  I see wonderful Cards (see my post last week), tags and banners; what would YOU stamp?

And you KNOW how insanely crazy I am over the “Keep Calm” posters fashioned after the World War II ones.

So, did you ever have a Vespa or a scooter? Want one? What color should I (or you) get?
