Wood and lace – This sweet little hook from Coquelicot is made from (naturally) fallen trees; Gorgeously smooth hand-turned maple bowl from Urban Turn; The “lace” in this necklace by Fox & Clover is actually hand painted on recycled glass; I am in love with this set of heirloom vegetable seeds packaged in tiny glass apothecary vials from Seed Circle Heirlooms.

These dolls from Simpli Jessi obviously have so much love and care put into them: from their clothing and accessories (love those stitched-on glasses!) to the little story that comes with each and every one, these dolls are oozing personality. Clockwise from the top left: Juan enjoys fishing and teaches salsa dancing, Francoise rides a little green scooter and likes jam and toast, Louise plays a mean air guitar, and Elona is a math whiz and special agent.

A fresh, crisp and sunny Spring day – that’s what I think of when I look at this happy little group of items! I could see using this hand-carved Beet Stamp from Whimsy By Jess to make your own Spring party invites, or to make a little set of thank you notes; The minty green Mrs Cow Tote from Strand redesign is made from recycled fabrics and comes in both child and adult sizes; Nature Collection Print from Geninne’s Art Store; Sweet little Tea Love Mug Cozy from KnitStorm.

Marew! I love the faces on the little Herringbone Kitties and Lion Kitty, both from Penguin & Fish; Beautifully crafted natural oak Rolling Sheep toy from Tactile Baby; Kitty Egg Crayons from Kitty Baby Love are ergonomically shaped for little hands, and do double-duty as wee toys.
