sakura*aya’s cuteable pincushions

These pincushions by Sakura*aya are sooo cute! From bunnies to ducks to chicks and piggies, each one has the same theme: a tiny felt animal sitting in a lace-lined bucket, cradling a pincushion. I can’t read a lick of Japanese but I’d *love* know if she intends to sell these–they’re so creative!

mini ice cream bowls

Dustkitsch calls these the “cutest little ice cream scoop sized bowls” and I think I’ll have to agree. These ceramic bowls come in blue, green, yellow and pink and are decorated with lovely abstract twirls and flowers (I’m a *total* sucker for hand-drawn decor!)–perfect for spring!

polkadot and plaid wedges and pumps

While clicking through Wists I found these adorable wedges and pumps at dELiA*s, who specializes in apparel and accessories for college-aged crowd. I can’t get over the cute design of the shoes, especially the wedges; the plaid and polka-dot color schemes are also to die for!

handmade tops by xenos designs

Handmade clothing is one of my admitted vices, so these cute tops by Xenos Designs are probably the last things I need to see! Each one is made from stretchy fabrics including rayon and spandex for a nice, snug fit. I particularly like Hearts and Stripes–check out that lovely stretch lace heart pattern!

pegger’s ladybug lids

I’ve always loved ladybugs for their helpful nature, and these polyclay lids by Peggers are just that! Not only do you get a cute and colorful lid, but the antenna can be used to hold anything from labels to photos. Available in a set of six, the lids come with the jars seen in the [...]

smart kitchen towels by simple memory art

If you’ve ever wondered what temperature to cook chicken at or how long cheesecake can sit in the freezer, these towels are an absolute time saver. Each is stuffed full of helpful hints; choose from wine, herbs & spices, or general [...]

maddy macedo’s handthrown stoneware

I love the earthy feel of these handthrown stoneware pieces by Maddy Macedo, a self-described garden enthusiast and sculptor. Note that the mugs and bowls are food safe, with a layer of glaze on the inside (the outsides are unglazed). I particularly like the covered cat mug with a cute cat ahead atop the lid; [...]

retro wooden pens

The Paper Princess specializes in stationery but also carries these retro-themed wooden pens. Each comes with a matching handpainted barrel; although the animals are pretty cute, I’m a big fan of the rocketship and submarine!

sage the monkey + blanket

Aww, talk about lovely–her name is Sage, and I think she’d make a wonderful gift for baby showers or for your own little ones. The paisley print is mesmerizing and tactile all at the same time; the safety eyes and soft coordinating flannel/cotton blanket are nice touches as well!

classic teapot by beehouse

Cute and beautiful, these teapots by Japan-based Beehouse are all about enjoying life’s simpler pleasures; I particularly like the way the spout blends into the body, as well as the slight downward turn it takes at the very end. Each pot holds up to 22 oz. and comes in pink (“rose”) or brown (“oolong”).
