Vera Vault -- Big and Bright

Vear Neumann was not afraid of color or pattern, that's for sure!  Here's a sampling of some big, bold, bright designs from my collection!

Vera Vault - Everything's Coming Up Roses...and Daisies

A Vera floral is about as classic "Vera" as you can get.  It's strange, but even though her flowers weren't always the same, she has a style that is pretty instantly recognizable, once you've seen her portfolio of prints.  At this point, when I'm looking through bins in thrift shops and antique stores, I can pull the Vera out almost blindfolded.  That's not to say she doesn't still surprise me!  Her florals, though, are so signature for her.  And I love every single one of them!

Vera Vault -- Stripe it up!

I'm slowly getting through photographing my collection of Vera scarves.  There are two things that hinder me from working through them faster.  1 -- I am working on our business -- photographing all the goodies for our Etsy shop and our website, and 2 -- I keep getting more scarves!  The first is unavoidable, and the second is, well, never going to stop!  So enjoy these stripes from my last batch photographed.  

Vera Vault -- Watercolor Prints

I read somewhere that Vera Neumann created over 20,000 different designs in her career.  That's an amazing number!  For this Vera Vault, I thought it might be interesting to look at a sampling of her designs that are very different from each other, but use the same watercolor effect.  

Vera is known for her florals:
