I am really loving these adorable pillows from Shanna Murray. They have such a warm calm energy to them and such a simple minimalist design. Although they have a bit of a country feel I think they would look quite nice in my big city apartment as well. These pillows have such wonderful illustrations that you don’t [...]
I am giving away one of my original handcut pieces over at the {newnew} blog. Head over and check it out. They have a lot of great things going on over there as well. And if you are in NEW YORK on December 6th, you should check them out at their Handmade Cavalcade at the Knitting Factory. Pick up some gift for [...]
So this holiday I have been toying with the idea of doing a few mini presents instead of one large present for my sisters. They are 2 of the most athletic girls I have ever met and I am proud that they are my sisters. A few times a year they find themselves in [...]
I love these prints from Golly Bard. I have had them on my list for quite some time and they now come in 2 wonderful colors-ways. Derived from an original watercolor painting these prints would look great in a hall next to each other or very playful in a kids room. She also has some wonderfully unique characters that [...]

I was thinking about Christmas gifts today and did a search on etsy for place mats for my stepmother and her family table. Haven’t really made up my mind about anything but I came across these Montessori inspired children’s mats that are to die for. It would probably be embarrassing to put one of these [...]
The flowers in Marilu’s Etsy shop are quite simple and very unique. Her zipper flowers are a beautiful take on the traditional Kanzashi flowers of Japan. I seem to be on a roll with finding unique brooches this week, but rest assured she offers more than just a pretty pin. Her simple elegant felt flower necklaces would be perfect on [...]
Matt’s parents have just sold the home he grew up in, so he wanted to do something special for them as a christmas gift to remember the home the family grew up in. We didn’t want to do the traditional watercolor portrait of the house but did want something beautiful and artistic. Thats when we found [...]
This week was the first time I was forced to wear my winter coat. I’ve been thinking of getting new buttons for it to jazz it up a little. It’s the same coat everyone else has, Black pea coat, black buttons, cute but boring. Today I came across these unique brooches by Sarah from CraftyFolk. Hailing from the [...]
