Check out this gorgeousness from White Owl. Sisters Courtney and Christina make the prettiest handmade jewelry using new and recycled/repurposed materials.

nadinoo

I love Nadinoo, a unique London based clothing label, where each style is carefully designed and handmade by British designer Nadia Izruna. I want everything. The fabric on the blouse and dress are beyond gorgeous.

its all just menagerie

Trace is a young crafter/blogger who recently caught my eye. You can see his lovely photography on the it’s all just menagerie blog. (I’m obsessed with the chandelier photo!) He also makes some very fine vintage recycled journals available in his Etsy shop! Right now in his shop 20% of all profits now go to the National Wildlife Foundation in support of cleaning up the oil spill and helping the animals in the Gulf of Mexico. Bravo!

thimbly things

Ah so many pretty fun things to look in Kristena Derrick’s Etsy shop Thimbly Things. I’m such a fan of embroidery hoop art and I really love the fun patterned fabric she uses. These give me warm fuzzies.

letterpress type poster

This poster combines two things I love a lot, typography & letterpress. Just looking at it gives me the itch to start printing! From 00One

biscuit scout

This hand-knitted armchair slip cover from Biscuit Scout looks so cozy and cute! These are made by knitting with multiple strands of wool and huge needles to create giant over sized knitting. You can have them made totally custom for any chair. So cool.

naomilingerie

I love this beautiful, romantic lingerie from naomilingerie. These sleep boxers look so sweet and comfy. She also makes adorable sleep masks!

summer excitement

Hello friends! I don’t do this often, but I figured I’d share a little about myself and some things I am very excited about, I just can’t contain myself. First off the above picture is just one I took of a Pyrex dish I own and love and have meaning to post for a while. Cute eh? I love the retro Americana imagery.

So anyway, today Brian and I got keys to the house we are going to be renting. This summer we will be slowly transferring from our apartment to a cute, older historic home close to Millikin with lots and lots of space and character. We can’t wait to get settled in and  start decorating!

And finally, the thing I am most excited about, today Brian and I are doing a 16 hour road trip (round-trip) to Michigan to pick up a letterpress. I’ve heard people say that when the time is right a press will find you. Suddenly, out of nowhere we stumbled across our perfect match, sooner than we ever expected. We plan to transform the basement of our new house into a silk-screen/letterpress studio and will hopefully be starting a little business. I am so happy that summer has finally arrived and I will actually have a little time to devote to my personal handmade dreams.

And… last weekend I went back to my home home to see my family. Got this cute romper and my sister Grace and I had a fun little photo-shoot! Ahh summer….

Ouma Clothing

Wow. These handmade romantic garments from Ouma clothing, plus some very gorgeous photography makes one delicious combination. Drool. All photography shown her is by the talented Galaxie Andrews.

stanley & sons

I love the rough and rugged look of these aprons and bags made by Stanley & Sons. With all the printing I’ll be doing this summer I am in desperate need of a quality apron and I would love to have one made by these guys! The bags are awesome too and made out of lots of interesting recycled materials like old military dufflels.

focus line art

I love this unique wall art from focuslineart by Tracy Melton. They’re made from dead red elm trees. So beautiful.

mr. yen

Mr. Yen is a papercut genius! I am especially in love with this hand cut quote from Alice in Wonderland. It’s such a great quote and so beautifully executed. Bravo!

Handmade leather oxfords? Yes please! These shoes from golden ponies are too adorable. The gold ones are definitely on my wish list.

christy studio

I meant to post about this forever ago but I totally forgot! Brian got me this bag for my birthday and it is amazing! Big but not too big, simple, neutral (goes with everything), lots of inside pockets, and it has an adjustable strap! These bags are so well made and they are really affordable. She has a wonderful selection, you really must check out this shop!

Erin just added this adorable cross stitch award badge to her shop Atlantic Treefox. So cute, It had to be blogged! I am very envious of her cross stitching skills!
