I came across one of these beautiful butterflies on Pinterest the other day...but sadly there was no link or credit to the maker! I just happened upon Mister Finch's shop this morning and the mystery was solved! Mister Finch is vintage found object/soft sculpture artist living in Leeds in Yorkshire, England whose bio included this gem: I collect fairytale books, miniature metal chairs and love to hoard things in glass jars. I knew I had found a kindred spirit, indeed! Enjoy and be sure to admire his sold collection of work on Etsy too! xo

Love, Maude
I found these sweet handmade embroidered felt art and accessories on Etsy over the weekend. I was happy to see they are made by an artist in town! Indianapolis, that is! Check out love, Maude. xo

Strawberry Swing Craft Fair- Kansas City!
So, my incredible friend, Heather Baker, of Bebe & Alice is organizing a Super Indie Craft Fair to be held this summer in Kansas City! She kindly allowed me to design the poster- actually more of a collaboration in the end-so fun- and in the process I actually ended up with three versions. The one above being the third and my favorite. But she's posted all three on the Strawberry Swing blog and we would love your input on which one you think is most successful! I'm really hoping to make it down to K.C. for the Swing, Heather has planned for much fun and handmade goodness! Visit the blog here for more info on attending/vendors/sponsoring! xo

awww...look at the baby!
My children are of the four-legged variety. While I'm not a big fan of costuming them, I am super tempted by these sweet little hats by xmoonbloom! She sells the actual hats or the patterns for you more dexterously talented folks. xo
Oh, and they're not just for your feline friends...

Message d'Amour
The sweetly homespun details of Inge de Jonge's art and handicrafts have me reeling with warm fuzzy thoughts of friends and family today. I believe she has a brick and mortar shop in Avignon, France (if you are lucky enough to be in that region) and thankfully for the rest of us she has set up shop, Message d'Amour on Etsy!

i la la love laurie
Behold the handcrafted wonders of Laurie Cinotto!
I admire her creative work so very much as well as the rescue work she does through her Itty Bitty Kitty Committee! I've been marveling my way through her glorious photos all morning! xo
Laurie's toppers are special in that her arrangements are created using
millinery leaves and baubles mixed with her handmade crepe paper flowers!
Laurie's DIY Project for The Bride's Cafe- The Fall Family Tree
The Fall Family Tree is one of my absolute favorites!
