Maps, Maps, Maps – A Reference Post

So I have a lot of maps.

A lot.

I make map jewelry, map flowers, map tags… I love maps, especially vintage maps.  And I needed a place to put together a list of my maps, for the purpose of custom orders.  When I make things, jewelry especially, I tend to stick to cities and places that I know.  That’s why I have a bunch of Illinois pendants in the shop, with Chicago and Minnesota coming soon.  I know those places, so I know which parts are important to me.  I don’t want just places that are important to me in the shop, though, I want to appeal to a greater audience and make sure everyone can find a location they love in pendant form.

So I created this reference post for people to come and request specific towns or areas.  I figure this post will also help me keep track of what maps I have and what areas I can work in.  If you want more specific information about any map in particular, don’t hesitate to contact me!
