Fearless


I first learned about Fearless when Fototiller wrote about this interesting memo clock. Fearless is full of innovative gifts from Europe such as this lovely compact. This beautiful shell necklace is also a winner. But perhaps my favorite offerings on this site are these funky cards. I love the one that says "I child-proofed my home, but they still get in." It wouldn't be right to miss posting about Wonder Woman either. Love this lunch box!

Tall Cow


Check out all the awesome cards at Tall Cow, each hand silk screened on premium paper. I especially love Hang In There, Lucky Dog. Tons of cool designs here, too.

Identity Crisis


When I say "fanny pack" do you say "barf"? I thought so. But once you see the cool fanny packs at Identity Crisis, you will change your mind. I love the cool wrist bands and clothing, too.

French Touche


There are tons of fabulous goods at French Touche. A few things I'd like to draw your attention to are all the nice tableware and pottery. They also have fabulous ties & jewelry. Be sure to check out all the cool paper goods & knick knacks as well. I love these cards!

j-me


j-me is brothers Mike & Jamie who have assembled a nice online shop full of goodies for the design concious. I love these big head coasters and these terrific key holders...so original! I also like these photo hooks & this tea light holder. So fun! And don't miss the undress me mug.

Harmony Art


Harmony Art has been receiving quite a bit of deserved attention these days. Their organic textiles are made from organic cotton, using low-impact water-based printing in the US. The nature-inspired designs are beautiful. I believe that the Graceland print is my favorite, as I am a sucker for purple. Of course, Eyes of the World is also very pleasing, as is Whispering Grass.

Junque Revival


Jessica Moreau is the mastermind behind Junque Revival. She creates & forms her own pendants around baubles, pottery, sea glass & semi precious stones, then paints & distresses them to look worn. I especially like her Little Junquey necklaces. So original! The Look Closely necklaces are also fascinating.

Humane Society Benefit Print


I saw this on Oh Joy! this morning & just had to share it. Jessica of Insurgent Muse has created this lovely card. 100% of the proceeds from this card will be donated to the Humane Society of the United States. There is a limited run of 50 cards, so jump in there quickly!

Island Girl Scrapbooks


I found out about Island Girl Scrapbooks through the lovely Jeanette. (Thanks, girl!) I love the Peace, Love, Scrap tee! And what about Who Says Size Doesn't Matter? There's also this really fun Scrappin' Angels tote bag. You can see all the fun designs that Jen of Island Girl Scrapbooks has come up with here.

Sew Darn Cute


Jenny of Sew Darn Cute makes the cutest goods. I absolutely love this smiling acorn bag. This squirrel clutch is also divine. Jenny also makes cool button earrings and vinyl cuffs. And for the tots, these adorable kitty onesies!

Always Amy


Amy says, "All of my items are made with the mantra, "reuse, recycle" in mind." Fabulous! I love these little popsicle earrings, as well as these red turtle earrings. But my absolute favorite earrings are these billy goat earrings. And how about this purse fashioned out of vintage ties? Amy also has a store front in Kansas & she is interested in purchasing other's items to sell as well as putting other's creations on consignment. Look here for more information.

Tuff Betty


Adrien Lucas says that a Tuff Betty is a blend of a chick who is terminally trendy yet doesn't cater to what the masses want and wear's whatever the hell she wants when she wants to wear it! Her shop is full of cool DIY kits that you can purchase to make your own wristlets. The kits come complete with pattern instructions, fabric, embellishments, and much more. This may not sound too exciting or original...until you see them! I especially like the Pee Wee Herman mug shot kit. Or how about Johnny Cash or Hugh Grant. All complete with their lovely mug shots. You can also purchase already assembled bags here. I love the Chiweewee wristlet!

*To my fellow Americans, Happy Independence Day! Let freedom ring.

iglubu


Lili Nedved is iglubu (i-glub-u) which means I love you. Lili is a very talented indie artist who makes beautiful handbags & other goodies. I love this good day, daisy clutch, as well as Rosie. And how perfect would this clutch be for summer vacation? I love the bold colors. Look here for ordering info.

Crafters For Critters


Crafters For Critters may very well be the best find I have made since this blog began. This site sells indie artists' works and all the proceeds go to animal rescue organizations. Every four months three organizations are selected to receive the money. You can read more here. There's tons of fabulous goods by many talented crafters. One item I really think is cute is this pretty lady purse by Missy Blue. There's also these adorable animal wristlets by Erin Originals. I love this fox tee & all these fabulous
