There’s something special about the objects and spaces that hold our memories. Whether it’s your grandmother’s handwriting on a recipe card, a quilt that’s traveled through generations, or even a journal filled with quiet thoughts.  Nostalgia has a powerful way of making a house feel like home.

At Dig'n Designs, I believe that beauty and meaning go hand-in-hand. That’s why I create goods that help you capture and celebrate your personal story; through decor, gifts, and everyday touches that feel both cozy and timeless.

Here’s how you can bring more nostalgic joy into your home and daily routine:

1. Decorate with Sentimental Layers
Nostalgia often lives in the details. Try layering your home with items that tell a story: a patterned throw that reminds you of childhood summers, a framed handwritten letter, or a vintage-style metal sign with a saying that brings a smile.

My soft blankets and metal wall art are designed to blend timeless charm with meaningful aesthetics.  Perfect for styling spaces with heart.

Tip: Use family heirlooms or personal mementos alongside new artisan-made items to create a home that’s rooted in who you are.

2. Keep Memories in Reach
It’s not just about how things look, it’s how they feel. A cozy journal on your nightstand. A sketch or pattern that sparks a memory. A seasonal pillow that reminds you of simpler days.

My journals, pillows, and stationery are made to live in those in-between spaces of life.  The ones where memories are made, captured, and cherished.

3. Create Nostalgic Routines
Your daily rituals can be beautiful too. Light a candle as you write your morning thoughts in a journal. Keep a blanket nearby for cozy evening reading. Add music, soft lighting, and scents that transport you to special times.

Little touches go a long way in making your routines feel meaningful and grounding.

4. Gift with Purpose
Whether it’s a handwritten card, a nostalgic pattern, or a thoughtful home item, gifting is a powerful way to pass on warmth and memories. My shop is full of timeless pieces perfect for birthdays, new homes, or “just because.”

The newest "Kindred Days" Pattern collection (I'll post more on that later) was designed with exactly this in mind: soft, storybook-like patterns that remind me of comfort, connection, and the people we hold dear.

5. Style with Storytelling in Mind
When styling your space, think beyond trends. What objects bring joy? Which fabrics or colors remind you of meaningful places or people? Use those clues to design a space that feels uniquely yours.

My collections are created to evoke a sense of place, memory, and meaning so that you can make your home more than just pretty… You can make it personal.
