How cute are these ceramics by Minneapolis based artist Emily Dyer?!!  I’m smitten with her sweet little bird illustrations…and the swirls and flowers. Ooh! I also have a “thing” for mugs. A mug must feel good in my hands while I’m drinking my coffee in the morning…and Emily Dyer’s look like they would just be perfect. Crazy, I know. Her pottery is food safe, and microwave and dishwasher safe too! Visit her etsy shop here.

I just ordered sweet plates from Atelier BB they are on their way…can’t wait!! I just fell in love with the color combinations, and it was really difficult to choose which ones I wanted to buy. Atelier BB has fantastic customer service too! I was able to order more of one design, and it was handcrafted and shipped lickedy split {have to use that expression every once and a while!}. Check out her other site as well…really cool stuff.

I love everything about the sweet artwork by Valentina Design. Great swirls, fun colors and quite possibly the cutest birds ever! She has prints as well as originals in her shop {my very fave is the green one above}…oh, and she has cards too!

I’m thrilled to offer her cute 2009 owl calendar {above} to a random reader. How adorable is that?!! Here’s the deal {it’s the same rules as the previous contest}: Visit Valentina Design, check out all of her sweet artwork, and leave a comment to this post letting me know which one is your favorite. I will randomly choose a winner on Friday, December 5th at noon. So, leave your comments before Friday the 5th at 11am {Chicago time}. Only one entry per household please. Good luck!

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 the pillows and things at Tiny Decor. This stay-at-home-mom run shop offers modern designs and uses organic fabrics, bamboo filling and non-toxic inks in her line of goods {hurrah for being green!}. I especially love the big floor pillows. I’d love to stack up a few of those in our house…they look so cushy and I love the patterns. Tiny Decor also has shop with green nursery items…it’s really quite lovely! Check it out here.
