Nonpareil

I love the creativity that goes into repurposed goods. To be able to envision a cute little purse from an old, funky jacket is pure genius…The creative part of MY brain totally doesn’t work that way, so I’m always impressed.

I you read the Storque, or check Etsy’s home page regularly, then you might already know about found by nicky‘s fantastic bags and things. Almost all of her pieces are made from other items…right down to the zippers! I especially love the bag with the little flowers {above, right}.

I probably go on and on WAY too much about how much I miss California…the weather, the beach…blah blah blah!! And for that, I’m sorry. Well, sort of.

I’m always thrilled when I find handmade goodies that have to do with my home state. Love, California is no exception. The stately pillows are super cute! And, if your state isn’t listed in her shop, she’ll make it for you. Her shop is also a test of my rudimentary state-recognition skills. Am I smarter than a 5th grader? No.
