Terrarium Necklace

Colleen — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:50:05 +0000

I was thrilled to find Woodland Belle while “window shopping” on Etsy this weekend. Check out their shop for terrarium necklaces, rings, and other fauna-inspired accessories. Who doesn’t love a tiny terrarium with an even tinier mushroom inside?

Saipua Soaps

Colleen — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:00:32 +0000

Soap is one thing I like to spend a little bit more money on; rather than purchasing something mass-produced and cheap at the store, I really love purchasing soap that’s been handmade in small batches with no parabens, SLS, or preservatives. Your skin is your largest organ and keep in mind whatever you spread over it, it will absorb – so don’t give it harmful additives. And if you’re going to shower everyday, wouldn’t it be nice to have a really lovely soap to use while you’re doing it? These are from the masters of floral design, otherwise known as Saipua, but also check out your farmers market, craft fairs, and Etsy for a wonderful selection of handmade soap makers.

I absolutely love these photographs of deer displays at the Chicago Field Museum by artist Debbie Carlos. I must purchase one from her Etsy shop! Check out more of her work here.

Primele Custom Calligraphy Stamp

I love these custom calligraphy rubber stamps from Primele (via Oh So Beautiful Paper). Not only is it lovely (what a beautiful and a wonderful gift it would make) but at just $35 it’s very affordable.

Andie Edwards

Andie Edwards Flickr photos remind me a bit of my morning walk through the park this past weekend: flowers in bloom, a soft mist coming from the grey overcast skies, and plenty of fresh, clean spring air.

For more of Andie Edwards work, check out her Etsy shop and her website.

So many gorgeous accessories from White Owl… the lace and bow necklaces are my favorite.

Mae

Unlike vinyl stickers, Mae makes fabric stickers which are removable and completely reusable. And very cute, to say the least! Check out their Etsy shop for sticker sets like birds, forest animals, monsters, dress up dolls and more.

Mechanical Paper Dolls

I absolutely love these mechanical paper dolls by Oh My Cavalier! Found in her big cartel store, but also check out her etsy shop as well. I’ve been longing to own some of Julianna Swaney’s work for some time now, and these animals are quite lovely indeed.

Sweet, colorful, detailed and playful illustrations from Sweet William. The teacup pieces are my favorite!
