Nonpareil

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…

I love the cuteness that is Queen Bee Creations. Portland, Oregon based Queen Bee {and Chickpea Baby} uses recycled wool and reclaimed banners for many of their bags and wallets….so great! They offer pillows and aprons as well as cute tees for the wee ones. I’m also inspired by the owner, Rebecca Pearcy’s, story about how her business evolved {see her video here}. Thank you to Modish for finding this.

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!

Such sweet personalized pillows! incy wincy stitches is based in Leicestershire, UK…but no worries…you can have your pillow sent internationally. She also sells fabric buttons and clothespin doll kits on her site. Adorable.
