Love the palette of this vintage piece. Unfortunately I don’t have any source information— if you happen to know any, please pass the info along.

Edit: Brooke gave me a link to the original in the comments, with lots more images! Check it out here on Aqua Velvet.

Sometimes I (unfortunately) temporarily forget about the amazingness that is Sheaff Ephemera. But every time it pops back onto my radar, I’m promptly rewarded with gems like this one. It’s such a breath of fresh air to stumble upon something like this—a design was created decades and decades ago but still feels right at home today. Do yourself a favor and spend some time looking around Sheaff if you get a minute; it’s such an inspirational resource.
