amuse me nursing covers

Although public nursing can be a controversial subject, Lisa Haukom’s Amuse Me takes a playful approach to the entire issue by offering up playfully patterned nursing covers.

metal jewelry by jessi taylor

There’s an industrial style to Jessi Taylor’s metal jewelry, yet there’s also a distinctive feminine touch that helps to balance the inherently cold feel of metal. What I particularly like, however, is her playfulness; her eyeball necklace and ring are for those who don’t mind being a little less serious in their accessorizing. Each of [...]

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! Bunny is part of Witty Workshop’s Best Friend Series, and is just one of many delightful prints (originally done in ink) by illustrator Valérie Parizeault. I love these hand-sewn and padded speech bubble brooches; they have a cute cartoony style! It’s not just a [...]

the artwork of suzanne woolcott

Although there is definitely a darker undertone to Suzanne Woolcott’s artwork, I find the cuteness of her characters to act as a useful foil. If anything, there’s a bit of surrealism to her work, with characters that are often oblivious (or at least impassive) against seemingly depressing backdrops. Despite her tendency to use darker tones, [...]
