Don’t tell my daughter, Ella….but I just ordered her a custom mouse from The House of Mouse. Isn’t it adorable?! Ella loves to sew…and she loves sewing little dolls and things…AND she loves bright colors to wear all mixed and matched up. The absolutely wonderful Anna made the sweetest and most perfect little Ella mouse for me, and I just had to share. Not sure if I can wait until Christmas to give it to her!
I love Chicago based Sew Bettie! Owners Mark and Cara {and their dog/muse Bettie} offer great limited-edition fabric, tees, DIY kits and sweet pincushions on their online shop. My very fave is the bulldog fabric {and it’s limited edition…so if you like it, buy some before it’s gone!}. Their kits would make a great gift for that crafty person on your list too! Check them out!
I love to have a few of the little dishtowels from artgoodies in my cupboard to give as hostess gifts. They are so sweet, and are tied with a green satin ribbon. I can’t have any of these cute towels to use in my own kitchen, because a particular family member {AHEM} has the tendency to take towels and use them for counter-wiping, or as a dirty-hand scraper-offer. Oh well! Creator Lisa Price also has sweet aprons, little pillows and ornaments. Check out her Etsy shop as well!
In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d take a look at one of my favorite little trends…the mustache! {even though none of these items are Halloween-y}. One of my favorite design blogs, Decor 8 was WAY ahead of me to catch on to this trend…click here to see her post about it. Thought I’d do my part to spread the mustache love.
The mustache pencils are from ATYPYK I love the variations {Salvador, Zorro, Burt, Django and Clark}. Hysterical! Atypyk is a super cool site too, by the way.
The mustache magnets are from Nice Designs. Love these! Plenty of other funky magnets and things on her site.
The glassware is from Bread and Badger. They have lots of other cute etched glassware too…I especially love the robots!
Last but not least are the handkerchiefs from Avril Loreti. Her site is filled with fantastic little napkins and handkies {check out the chairs, and fortunes on cocktail napkins!!}.
