Mom on the edge.
Ack! Have I really not recommended Veldie’s Remakes yet? A cowboy shirt from her shop was the first thing I ordered off of Etsy. It was supposed to be for Henry, but Eli wasn’t going to let that happen. He adopted the shirt for himself and probaby wears it every three days. The woman behind [...]
A few weeks ago, I recommended the gorgeous belts from Eternally Chic. Extremely astute readers may have noticed that my mom offered to get my one for my birthday, even though my birthday was in March, and even though she already got me something awesome. I’ll spare you the details of my hesitation (not being [...]
Small Magazine had a quick bit on Milimbo, who makes graphically simple and very beautiful children’s books and prints. I don’t know if Milimbo is a man or a woman (or a collective), but they are based in Spain. The children’s books are wordless versions of common stories (so there’s no language barrier), like Little [...]
Oh my goodness, I just love that there are people on Etsy who are tooling leather belts, and especially that Eternally Chic is doing them in these gorgeous 1970s designs that I seriously think I’ve been searching for in thrift shops for roughly my entire life. I am in love with these belts. (What is [...]
All my shirts are now back home after their brief vacation in the Rise Gallery Wearable Art Show (where, thankfully, a few of them did find new homes). And so now I’m actually working to get every last shirt in my inventory up in my Etsy shop. Hurray! Huge huge thanks to my family (Dave, [...]
My new best friend Liz (let’s pause a moment to give Liz time to take out the restraining order against me…ok, done?) has the best shop at Milo in Maine. She also has an Etsy shop for Milo in Maine where she sells overstocks and sale items, and it’s definitely worth checking out. This winter [...]
I am a total sucker for letterpress cards and prints. I love the way you can actually feel the image, and I’m such a sucker for the whole retro thing. You’ve got to go check out the cards and things at Blackbird Letterpress (which also speaks to my love of all things Bird). I’m especially [...]
I am still completely in love with the little fabric baggies I got from Gnomeclothes for putting food into Henry’s lunch. There have been a few times when they’re all in the wash or in his snack bin at school, though. I’m not quite ready to get more just yet, but when I do, I’ve [...]
Oh my goodness I love this Etsy shop. I know it’s just one of those Julie things, so maybe you feel differently, but when I look at the jewelry here I think everything in it is beautiful and perfect. But I have a thing for simple silver things, and hammered silver, and organic circles, and [...]
I love when I am in need of some completely random thing, like soap, and decide for no reason in particular to do a search for said item on Etsy, and find out that there are, in fact, many of these items for sale. Etsy has quite a few handmade soaps, but once I discovered [...]
