Hi. I’m Amanda, and I’m a throw pillow addict. I can’t get enough of them. I love a sofa covered with so many pillows that there’s no place to sit. Daniel finally had to cut me off, so the only way to get my pillow fix was to start making them! Five of my hand [...]
I’ve been finding loads of great stuff on Etsy recently. Which of these is your favorite? I’ll take one of each please! I’m pretty sure my little dog, Mabel, would fit in the onesie. I’m not normally one for dog clothes, but that elephant is almost too cute to pass up. I’d just have to [...]
Wit & Whistle Mother’s Day cards are in the shop! My new favorite is this perfectly sweet ranunculus design I made with gouache and pen and ink. It’s printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds so your mom can plant it. Just tell her it’s a DIY bouquet. All the old favorites are back too, and [...]
Here are a few photos from the West Elm + Etsy pop up shop last weekend. Daniel and I had a great time, and I think my favorite part was getting to meet a bunch of talented Etsy sellers in the flesh. I don’t normally get that sense of camaraderie working alone in my studio day [...]
Terrariums are super trendy right now, but (just for the record) I’ve been on a terrarium kick for a while. In first grade I grew bean seeds in huge glass jugs for my science fair project, in college I planted a terrarium in a wine bottle, and for our wedding 5 years ago we made [...]
Daniel and I don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day. Terrible, I know. It’s right before my birthday, and he works long hours in February getting ready for GDC, so we usually just skip it. But this year I’m demanding a proper Valentine’s Day celebration complete with a box of chocolates! We’re celebrating this weekend, so I thought [...]
Is it still considered window shopping if you buy something? I have been admiring Eight Seasons’ bags since July 31st, 2009, so I finally ordered one (#3 below). I think it’s the perfect reward for finally finishing my holiday line! Do you self-reward? 1 elephant dream print 2 yellow ochre pillow 3 leather wristlet 4 a [...]
Once again I need to blog satisfy my shopping urge. All my latest Etsy favorites seem to coordinate, and I love it when that happens. They look so nice all lined up next to each other. Don’t you think? Ever since I spotted this fox hat I haven’t been able to stop singing Nickel Creek’s The [...]
I just added several new jotter designs to the shop! This summer I’ll be working with a printing company to manufacture my jotters in bulk. My plan is to spend less time printing, folding, and stapling and more time being creative. By outsourcing the printing I will also be able to offer my jotters at [...]
How about a little window shopping this lovely Friday afternoon? It shocks me how many splendiferous products are available on Etsy. Just when I think I’ve found all the good stuff a new batch of favorites presents itself! I broke out my thesaurus to come up with splendiferous. Sometimes I feel like I use the same [...]
