Jayme from Lillipops Designs takes plain ‘ol dress shirts, and stitches them into the cutest clothing for little girls. I wish my daughter could fit into them…they are adorable! Her mix of fabrics makes an otherwise masculine shirt so sweet. Just love these…so creative! {and how cute is the little belly on the little girl in the blue skirt, above?!}. Spread the word about this little shop…
Time for some cozy scarves and sweaters…this time, from Elyse C. Bec. She’s a friend of a friend {thanks Karen for the introduction!}. Her scarves are beautifully made, and she has some super sweet sweaters for wee ones as well. Not only that, her sweaters are fair trade {I just love this!}. Here’s what she writes about it on her site:
“Elyse C. Bec Designs and SuperCute! support fair-trade, talented artisans, schooled in the ancient traditions, from around the world, most of whom count on this as their source for supporting their families. Our knitters, mostly single mothers,are literally knitting their way out of poverty through the help of our contracts to produce my designs.”
I love the hand printed goods by Blink Designs in Melbourne, Australia. Not only do they offer cute home goods, but items for women and kids as well…all printed with their cute graphics. I think my very favorite are the silouette lamps…Wonderful!
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.

I just bought some yoga pants from Even Keel Yoga…and I love them. They are lightweight, with really soft fabric made from bamboo, organic cotton and just enough spandex. So cozy! Owner Liz Matthews is offering a 20% discount for yoga month {who knew it was yoga month…but hurrah for the discount!} just enter “NYM2008″ upon checkout.
