serene onion’s amigurumi

If you’re a Cuteable regular, you probably know I’m quite the Amigurumi fan! These fully crocheted dolls fit the bill with big heads (and even bigger eyes) atop tiny bodies. Handmade by Serene Onion in Singapore, there’s not a whole lot of inventory but you can make a special request for any of her previously [...]

twisty silver earrings and rings

Via IShopIndie: these fluid silver earrings are a beautiful mix of industrial and floral; three hoops and two rondelles hang from French earwires for a stylish, informal look. They also coordinate well with Silver Style’s Twist Me Ring, which is made from brightly polished silver and features an elegant swirl above a tightly braided coil. [...]

bijoux bracelets

I love bijoux jewelry for its eclectic, colorful look; these bracelets by Christine Barnsley include cute watchlets with Geneva silver faces. In addition to watchlets, she also sells bracelets, pendants, charms, and peace bracelets, all of which feature hand-painted beads. Christine has an amazing assortment of jewelry, so please be sure to stop by her [...]

mint workshop’s fresh modern bags

These beautiful handmade bags by Karen actually are thanks to a fairly persistent stranger, who, upon seeing one of her bags, insisted that she sell her one. After an argument, Karen decided to make her bags available–I’m glad she realized her mistake, as she clearly has a gift for choosing fabrics. Note that her batiks [...]

asian accents tea sets; chocolate dinnerware

Spotted over at Wrapables: entertaining is in the air with May flowers just around the corner, which is why I think these Asian Accents tea sets are perfect! The teapots are made from sturdy cast iron and come with two matching ceramic cups. I also can’t get enough of the Victoria Chocolate Vines Dinnerware–they seriously [...]

elizabeth scott’s hydrangea petal jewelry

Beautiful and intricate, Elizabeth Scott’s jewelry is actually made from real hydrangea petals which are pressed into sterling silver. Tiny impressions are cut out and given an oxidized and brushed finish. Even the packaging is detailed; earrings and rings are wrapped in non-tarnishing tissue paper and placed in a recycled gift box with red bow. [...]

hobbibot

Made by the intrepid Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls (she also sells patterns and stitchettes here), Hobbibot does gift, fashion and afghan knitting; it’ll even research online for cute patterns and then adjust for cheap yarn substitutes. Okay, so Hobbibot isn’t really a robot that will do all your knitting for you–but it definitely inspires [...]

pop ink fashion plates

There’s an instant feeling of nostalgia with these simple but beautifully colored Pop Ink Fashion Plates (they look like many of my mom’s old photographs!). Made from melamine by Charles S. Anderson, the 10″ plates come in mod/retro colors and are dishwasher safe.
