Handmade Bags and Pouches

This weekend was very yuppie- alot of walking the dog around the neighborhoods, grocery shopping, drinking latte's, making brunch and eating on outdoor patio's. Very Chicago. One of the places I stepped into was Orange Beautiful's new shop at Damen and Leland! Her cute little shop has tons of stationary and original hand made finds such as the super stylish bags by Drikab. Check em out...

Hand Crafted place cards

Etsy is featuring Timeless Paper who makes a variety of wedding or party paper embellishments! I fell in love with their hand cut place cards ranging from simple to intricate. They are so amazing- they could double as a favor as well.

Fluttering greetings

These 3-D greeting cards by Ruby Recycled are so great!

Little Houses on Etsy

I'm LOVING this cowl neck sweater by Little House. I am so drawn to clothing that combines style with comfort. The neck on this is almost architectural with the big buttons and shapes it creates. Her page is amazing- check it out!

Sinching Style

Etsy featured this great seller today called fullgive leather! They use reclaimed materials- mixing the old and new for a funky, eclectic design. They also do wallets, bracelets and bags but I was blown away by the destructive quality of these authentic leather belts!

Caught up in Ruffles

I just found these great pieces at Kate Towers etsy shop! I can't believe the detail in all of her work. Enjoy!

Re-connect with Nature... literally!

I found this cedar iphone docking station on Woodtec's etsy shop. I love the idea of setting my "internet box" on a chunk of wood to regain strength!

Working @ Greet Design!

My letterpress class has been a blast! I can't wait to start printing this week and getting my designs on film to make a plate. Check back for printing images. In the meantime, I have been getting busy at Greet Design making save the dates for my friend. Here are some options I was working on... Check out my etsy account for your custom card or invitation needs!

Beautifully Bound!

I'm loving these handmade books from greentrikepress on etsy. They look like they have a story even before you start writing in them! Dylan (who pointed these amazing journals out to me)- I think you need one to jot down amazing web ideas! If anyone is looking for a website, talk to Pine Lake Marketing!

Bridal Layers

Why didn't I know about this "peaceful afternoon dress" when I got married? The whole look says, yup I'm getting married today and I am just going to go with the flow- after my mimosa that is. No tight fabric or hot bunchy fluff. I love it! Hopefully another one of my friends will get engaged so i can pass this designer on. Check out Sarah Steven's work on etsy.
