handmade bags by homegrown skinny

Earthy, 100% Osnaburg cotton serves as a fitting backdrop to Homegrown Skinny’s handmade bags, which are decorated with a variety of accents including fabric appliqués and embroidery. I find the accents to be perfectly balanced with the essential simplicity of each bag; all of them really quite charming! In addition to the Osnaburg bags, Homegrown [...]

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! Heli’s adorable barking dog returns in key fob form and is just as cute; you may remember him from her shirts. With Halloween just around the corner, I couldn’t resist mentioning this Boo Bracelet by Moon Dog Treasures. Boo! TiddlyWinks’ SweetPea Horse is made [...]

fat cat creations pendants

I’ve always loved stamps; they’re each little pieces of art on their own, so it’s somewhat ironic how casually we use them. Deanna Carrillo’s Fat Cat Creations takes some of the most beautiful stamps I’ve ever seen and then encases them in lead-free soldered silver pendants; they’re placed behind non-glare archival glass.

the art of color poetry

Oh wow! I feel like a kid in a candy store with Martha Marshall’s abstract artwork. A professional gallery-represented artist, her work is not only beautiful but affordable, making it immensely tempting to snatch up a piece for myself. Most of her pieces are originals; choose from watercolors and acrylics on paper or–my favorite–acrylics on [...]

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! Sophie the doggy is made from vintage recycled stripe fabric, and features safety eyes. She’s super cute, isn’t she? I seriously thought these were real handbags at first glance — they’re actually glass brooches! These cards by CurlyCue have a simple, childlike goodness to [...]

lapomme fabric jewelry

Making a fabric wrist cuff isn’t exactly painting the Mona Lisa, that is unless you’re Lapomme. From her home in the South of France (how cool is that?), she makes beautiful, one-of-a-kind wrist fabric jewelry. Using everything from buttons and pins to felt appliqués and embroidery, she’s put together quite a variety of pieces that [...]
