My business partner and I just spent the last week at a boutique and Showcase House to benefit the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society. We met some fantastic vendors while we were there hawking our wares. One of my favorites is jeweler, Joan Maxwell {Her hubby designed one of the rooms in the house…a talented duo for sure}. All of her jewelry is exquistely crafted. She uses vintage buttons from France, fused glass, lots of freshwater pearls and beautiful beads. These are classic jewelry pieces that you will have in your wardrobe for ages.
I’m smitten with these boxes from Tattoo Dreams. Patricia Hecker is the creator of these little works of art. I adore their little legs, and the different themes to each one. wonderful! Tattoo Dreams is a side project for Patricia…she also travels the country showing her artwork {her gallery can be found on her site here}

I think I have to have the coat {above}…from Makool Loves You. It’s so cute, I can’t even stand it. They probably have a million hits on their site from Elmhurst, Illinois. And that would be me. Visiting the coat. The clothes on Makool are made locally {Portland, Oregon}…and are often made of sustanable fabrics & always with really great style. They also offer a nice selection of jewelry, bags and ceramics by some of their favorite designers.

The weenie jokes fly around our house ever since we adopted our sweet little doxie boy with a wicked overbite {named Weenie, in the oval above}. Our 14 year old son is the main reason for the incessant “my weenie does tricks” etc. comments.
While shopping Etsy recently, I found Annie’s Sweatshop, and her sweet sweet little sweaters and things for dogs {and not just weenie dogs}. The fabrics are made of recycled soda bottles…so you’ll be green while keeping your pup warm. She accepts custom orders too, so you’ll get just the right fit for your dog.
