Check out these cute homemade peace flags from Athens shop Beauty Everyday. These would be the perfect accessory for any backyard patio or deck.

I love these quirky illustrations from London illustrator Julia Pott. Her work features some of my favorite things, bears, handwritten words and awesome color combinations. Here are a couple of my favorite pieces.

I did not see Twilight in the theater. I have yet to read the books. I only knew about this from my friend Sarah who kept telling me, “I think one of your friend Angie’s bags is in the movie Twilight. Bella Swan uses it through out the movie.” FINALLY, finally Angie got a chance to see the movie this week. Her bag is in the movie!! The bag was made for the Etsy shop of The Crafty Devils which is the shop that Angie and I started in 2007. It was one of the few pieces which reflected both of our work. The bag design is hers and I did the feather illustration. The Twilight bag can now be found in her new shop Stitch and Swash. Stop by and check out the bag and all of her other great work!

Danna Ray, the illustrator behind Groundwork grew up in a log cabin in the woods of rural South Carolina. I love the angles, colors, simplicity and softness in each piece. It was so hard to narrow down which pieces to feature here, but here are a few of my favorites.

I am always drawn to a handwritten hello or hi.
They are even more compelling when etched into a rock.
Enjoy this cute pieces by UK shop bird ahoy!

I’m working a late night and need something to remind me of  my peacful weekend away from the city.
Thank you Zelaya.

Take a look at these cute paper jewelry designs by Providence shop Papermode.
Sweet and simple.

I love the style of these pieces by St. Louis artist Sarah Giannobile. Each piece looks like it started out as a doodle and transformed into something amazing.

In honor of my upcoming birthday I bring you the “old is cool” necklace by Brooklyn shop The BeSide. TheBeSide is the shop where Macha Jewelry sells one off proto samples and tests new jewelry ideas. The shop has a great collection of handmade and lazer cut jewelry. See the necklace and a few of my favoites below.

I love these moody yarn pieces from Brooklyn artist Joetta.
I also love how they are displayed by pushpin.
She has a larger collection that includes friendlier pieces, but I like the sassier ones the best.
