More Etsy

I just had to show you the things my friends are making right now that I love.
Below is a picture of the pillowcase dress my friend Davina made among so many other sweet baby clothes that I want to own. She won't be selling them on Etsy much longer but don't lose her number because she will still be making things special order (like when I become an aunt and need a monogrammed jumper, for example).

Another friend of my, Brielle, who is a more permanent fixture on the site, as far as I know, makes handy things for sale on Esty - so if you have many hands you should look her up, while you're brushing your hair or making a phone call or something. The picture I've posted links to the ponyup design shop.
I own some things Brielle's made. I have a travel flatware set for two :) Perfect for a romantic picnic.
Also would have been perfect on our honeymoon at the bed and breakfast. We brought all the leftover cheese from the wedding and some avocados to eat between breakfasts and dinners out but didn't have the presence of mind to pack it (we didn't even bring proper shoes). So lunch was messy and creative - a knife and napkins would have been very handy.

I also commissioned Brielle to print a very specific design on some vintage handkerchiefs for Tommy for Christmas and they turned out so incredibly well - she was so generous to have done it and she definitely has some life-long fans in Tom and I.
And she made us a cool drawstring bag as part of our wedding gift and Tom used it this Christmas to wrap my gift in a very eco-friendly way.

The fabrics she uses are so awesome. I'm not ladylike enough to use a tissue holder like this (I don't carry a purse or anything) but I do love it. It reminds me of something my Grandma Humphrey would use and she was tres tres chic and ladylike. I am much more likely to get the reusable produce bags, tres Dinahlike.
