Alli Coate

Great embroidery work by Alli Coate -- The detailing of needlework is something that I have always been in awe of. I enjoy the mix between a 2 & 3 dimensional space and richness of texture that comes foward. Alli Coate's illustrative embroidery is quite lovely.

Rebecca Thuss

One of the graduate classes I just started is Studio Craft -- learning to photograph in a studio environment whether it be still life or portraiture. The styling of Rebecca Thuss is always a major source of inspiration for me. The photographs and arrangements are so light and delicate, everything placed effortlessly yet perfectly.

Knack Studios

Lovely refurshibed pieces from Knack Studios in Greenville, SC...I've never found anything I didn't like coming out of this shop.

Made by Hank

Embellisments, patterns, colors, oh my! I love the handbags of Made by Hank -- I just can't get enough of the different styles and shapes.

Seraph

Check out these messanger bags from Seraph -- I'm sort of on the hunt for something like this for when I start biking to class this spring. Seraph also has a few awesome Valentine's Day cards (as well as other paper goodies) if you are still in the market before the big day of love.

Cuddle with Cider

I suppose it's about time to begin thinking about Valetine's -- at least your local big box is pushing it. I would love to receive something perfect like this for my day of love...hint, hint :)

tractordog

My friend and creative darling, Kelsey, opened up an etsy shop selling vintage, re-purposed clothing. "Tractordog finds old throwbacks and makes them exciting again. We peruse thrift stores, random granny houses, estate sales, and go deep into the crazy world of eBay to find the best of the past. Fix em, scrub em, style em up...and offer them to you!" 

She's also the blonde bombshell modeling the ensembles...gorgeous.
