Matt and I went to Crane Neck Christmas Tree Farm this weekend to pick and saw our tree for this year! Crane Neck is right down the road from our house, so It is pretty cool to be able to support other local small businesses. I can’t wait to show you some of my favorite ornaments ( and the makers who made them!)
If you ever wanted to live in a cabin in the woods, but wish that cabin had a super amazing decorator, then Bourbon Moth is going to be your new favorite shop. Decorate your walls with a science lab inspired vase, display your quilts on a blanket ladder ( I SO want one) or just show off some of your favorite treasures on a wall shelf shaped like a mountain range. Every piece is ultra unique and will make your home feel like a cozy cottage, no matter where you live.
Beaver Suit! I think the images explain it all really! But you should follow him for a little dose of amazing in your instagram feed!

Last weekend traffic was pretty bad downtown, so we took the backroad home, and I am so glad we did! The sunflower field at Colby Farm was in full bloom. So we drove home, grabbed the dog and the camera, and headed back to watch the sun go down behind the flowers. I’ve been working on my outdoor photography, so I just had a blast capturing the light and watching things changed as the sun retreated behind the trees. If you are ever in the North Shore of Massachusetts in late august or early September, you have to check this out!
If you love a fun, easy, DIY project, check out these Teatowels-turned-cushions by artist Sarah Young! Screenprinted onto cotton Tea Towels, you can cut and sew the design into your own little pillows for your bed or sofa! They are so bright and colorful, and if you cant decide on your favorite, you can order the entire set! I think these would make really cute gifts too, for the crafty folks in your life!
How awesome are these off-beat cookie cutters from Printmeener! 3D printed in only the coolest of designs will surely spice up your cookies all year round. My favorite is the Pride and Prejudice silhouette cookie cutter, but Im also partial to the Parcel Tag design too! I really can’y just choose one!
I thought it would be fun to take a peek through the archives and see what some of my favorite makers and crafters are up to now! Urban Cheese Craft is one of my favorite things! I love cheese and I love to make things! Perfect combination! I mentioned them a few times over the years in the blog!
Its so fun and inspiring to watch a business grow! Even the packaging and photography style has evolved over the years! Today you can find an Urban Cheese Craft Kit in shops across the country! Pick one up for yourself! Or grab one online!
When I first saw the scarves from Nina Führer I think my socks really did fall off! I mean look at them! Who doesn’t want a parrot or a fox friend keeping them warm all season!? Her designs are just really one of a kind and would be sure to make a statement on campus this fall! And don’t worry if you aren’t the showy type, she has soft warm hats in complementary color patterns for the less daring!

Jenna Rose Handmade creates the most wonderfully outdoor inspired home goods and accessories. All of her textiles are uniquely hers and screen printed in the perfectly complementary colors, before being turned into a hand bag or her signature bucket catch-all. I actually have two of her buckets that I use as knitting project bags around the house. I am just in love with her new acorn printed designs which feature a little touch of metallic shimmery gold! Truly any peice from her shop would make a perfect autumn addition to your home, or your favorite outfit!
