minneapolis

Mill city. The mini apple. City of Lakes. The six-one-two. Nicknames abound for this Midwestern jewel nestled into the banks of the mighty Mississippi, but for me, Minneapolis has always had one name above all others - home. I was born and raised in this great city, and it wasn't until moving away that I realized just how lucky I was.

Linden Leaf Designs began back in 2009 as a way of paying tribute to this wonderful place, and I love how it has enabled me to stay connected to my hometown.

I sell the work pictured here in my Etsy shop and in several Minneapolis area retail shops: i like you in NE Minneapolis, Piccadilly Prairie in SW Minneapolis, and Uptown Minnesota at the MSP International Airport.

Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Lakes

Oh, Minnesota. The iconic shape of my home state has always captured my imagination. Here it's filled with pattern and shape, just the right size for showing off.

I sell prints and postcards of this design in my Etsy shop
