Nonpareil

These sweet pillows are from Three Red Apples and are made by a French ex-pat living in Devon, UK…I like her mix of vintage, repurposed, and new fabrics as well as the embroidered words {or chickens!!}. And don’t they just scream SPRING?!!

{thanks to  Bettyjoy’s blog for finding these…I just had to share them here too!}

The detail on the ceramics from Cynthia Vardhan Ceramics blow me away. Each piece is handcrafted and handpainted from a “proprietary fine translucent porcelain” that the artist formulates and mixes herself. Fancy! The vases are so sweet, and priced well, too…$40…and would make a really nice gift for a girlfriend/sister/mom! Love!

I found these fantastic screenprinted hooks and coat racks on the blog, purplepinkandorange {always a great place to see some cute indie goods}…they are from Oregon based, The Crosbie. Fabulous patterns and colors, no?

Have a fun weekend everyone!!

Hurrah for the internet!! I just love getting to know gals from far-flung places…like Puppy and Chris from Chria, in Brazil. They are long-time readers of my blog, and have a super cute blog of their own, as well as an online shop. Their shop oozes with cuteness…pillows, purses, scrapbooks…lots of hearts, flowers and bright colors, all handmade with incredible detailing. I asked for some photos, and they sent me the layout above! They also make custom nurse uniforms…adorable!

Everything is so festive…get me out of this freezing cold and off to Brazil!

I think that I become more tactile as I get older…I always have to be touching items when I shop…and I have a *thing* about coffee mugs {they just have to feel right}. Maybe that’s what attracts me to London Clay Birds. I just want to hold one in my hand…They are made of both hand-carved wood and clay…

Here’s the artist’s description about the clay:

Made using London clay – a marine deposit from the Palaeogene period, 50/60 million years ago, back when a warm tropical sea covered London. The clay is straight from the earth – dug out from where a Victorian Workhouse once stood in Islington.

Beautiful!
