Rose de Borman is a UK-based textile designer, painter and illustrator whose Etsy shop I make sure to pop into from time to time. Rose always has wonderfully unique and exquisitely-made goods, but these hand-painted, one-of-a-kind silk pillows totally blew me away.

What do you think it’s like to have almost the same name as one of the coolest, funniest women on the planet? I’m guessing mostly good, but also kind of annoying. Frey is a designer based in San Francisco who works in resign. I love the simplicity and timelessness of her designs in black. They remind me of sea glass.

I’m crushing on these coffee makers and accessories that are lo-fi and beautiful and presumably work well too.

Perhaps one day one of these will replace our much loved Chambord.

Heather Braun-Dahl is a painter and ceramicist (her line is called Dahlhaus) from Vancouver whose new line “Stripes” has me jumping for joy! I’m a self-professed ceramics junkie and these teapots, vases, etc. are so modern, simple, timeless and fun! Heather’s work is available on etsy, bigcartel and Poppytalk Market (via Poppytalk).

I’m a little obsessed with the Austin-based shop Spartan. They just have the coolest collection of goods and accessories! I never would have thought I’d include a pocket knife on a wish-list but like everything else in the shop it’s just so beautiful and appealing.
Today I created my very first treasury on etsy and wanted to share it with you all. I am constantly inspired by etsy’s community of artists and makers – there are SO many creative souls out there!
Lately I’ve been finding lots of cool industrial-modern items like anzfer farm’s driftwood lamp and forest bound’s recycled linen duffel bag. (Speaking of… I’m replacing my work bag with this awesome tote! It kills me that it has ‘Troop 4’ written on it from when it was previously used by a boy scout troop.) Back to the treasury… I hope this little collection inspires some of you too.
