With personalities that are as bright as their colors and patterns, Flying Kiss’ dolls make unique, bubbly gifts for moms and babies!

Although the numerous straight lines are somewhat suggestive of computerized vector art, these endearing pieces by Cup of Snowflakes are actually completely hand-drawn. Using colored pencils and paper collage, they’re then scanned and printed using a laser printer on heavyweight paper. I find Snowflakes’ to be quite attractive; shapes and crisp yet emotive, with cute [...]

I love the weathered/fossil-like appearance of these leaf pendants by Hedgewitch; they’re actually made from leaves impressed onto ceramic. Joshua Stone is an amazing felt artisan; these cute coasters are made from industrial felt and silkscreened with holiday imagery!

My favorites are their sweet [...]

Using sterling silver and occasionally copper as a backdrop, Ruby Girl creates an entertaining variety of simple but cute earrings and necklaces!
