"Lovely Little Things" is owned and run solely by me, Caitlin! This is a small shop that I started in college, around 2009-10, has slowly gained momentum over the years, and still has room to grow!

“Lovely Little Things” is a shop of prints and products that are nostalgic yet fresh, and charming yet mature. This parallels my freelance illustration career, CBA Illustration, as both my life and work are heavily influenced by the aesthetics of the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. I focus on a representation of repeat patterns and texture in our natural world, along with the anthropomorphism of animal characters, and messages of strength and acceptance, via hand-lettered typography. This love of smaller details— the repetitive pattern in a row of book spines, a cluttered kitchen, a cat’s fur texture, harmonious color in a sign, variations in a garden— is what I try to bring to my audience:

an appreciation for the Lovely Little Things in life.

I primarily work in gouache paint, with a particular love for dry-brushing, but create a lot of art digitally, as well. You can find my work at cbaillustration.com, cbaillustration.tumblr.com, and @cbaillustration on IG.

Here at Little Lovely Things, I do my best to make sure you, the customer, are as happy with your product as possible. I love communicating, so never hesitate to reach out! It's important that the product you receive is the same product you envisioned when happily clicking the 'Add to Cart' button, and I try my best to be flexible in unique situations, too. See some art on my website that isn't here in the shop? I may be able to work one-on-one with you to get a special print made. Prefer a different shipping method? We can arrange that, also.

Thanks so much for checking out Lovely Little Things!
