BURNED FURNITURE you will never throw away

py_spoons

The work of Cecilia Galluccio is in a word, stunning. I love seeing a traditional craft taken to a whole new level with a modern design sense. Cecilia markets her work under the moniker of Burned Furniture but these are pieces that will become instant heirlooms. She burns each of her designs freehand into the wood so no two works will ever be the same. If you are ever looking for a housewarming gift that will make the new home owners jaw drop, look no further. These are sure to be the first thing you grab if your house really was on fire.

LEAF THIS ALONE nature inspired sticky notes

Have you seen these? I was looking for some colored masking tape for wrapping up outgoing orders from peppersprouts and came across these lovely leaf sticky notes. I personally have a little bit of a leaf obsession so into my cart they went. You can get a little pad for yourself for under $3 at lemontree77’s etsy shop, along with some other great korean art and craft supplies.

TWEET TWEET pretty wood bird coasters

I had a great time this weekend at the SOWA market in Boston. Everyone i met was super nice, and i got to run into and old friend as well. I have a few new things up in the peppersprouts etsy shop today. One of them being a limited edition Boston coaster, the other being the long awaited bird coasters. These little guys have increased in size to 3.75″ in diameter, sure to fit any drink! There are a lot of new things in the works over the next few weeks, holiday goodies, magazine racks, even picture frames. I am very excited to say the least.

{SUB} URBAN EXPLORATION embroidery

I wanted a new outlet for my little drawing that I find myself doodling so I decided to try my hand at embroidery (because i really new a new project like i need a hole in the head). So I drew a very simple little phrase and got to embroidering it last night, below are the results. I am going to make this into a little change purse just because. I learned a few things, the most important being i need to draw a little bigger next time because small embroidery is hard…especially when you miss a hole and have to back track. I’m excited to create more.  Maybe I’ll bring a few with me when I do the SOWA market in August.

SAY GOODBYE to green and black chalkboards

You should never be afraid of color! This new paint from Hudson Paints is sure to add a punch of color, that you can write on. Think about how much more fun math problems would be if they were on a hot pink “blackboard.” The possibilities are endless for this colorful chalkboard paint. Available in 30 different colors, and also available in custom colors if you are looking for something specific. At $25 a quart this would be perfect for that entrance wall to be able to keep up to date on the happenings of your entire clan. I definitely have an idea for this paint using some of my lasercuts, that i will be sharing with you soon!
