Etsy can be overwhelming and you might sometimes think, How many more distressed wood "Believe" signs do I have to search through to get to the good stuff? One tip? We like to get specific with our search terms and so "vintage Scandinavian" or "vintage Danish/Norwegian/Finnish/etc." are phrases we often use. And they deliver: There is so much vintage Scandi-cool goodness on Etsy. Here are some pieces we found that are so awesome, we almost kept them secret.
