LefthandOriginals | To be in Paris Effiel Tower Resin Necklace

Updated Mar 25, 2008

I love vintage prints, I collect them, I could spend hours browsing the flea markets and rummaging through boxes of prints. Look at Lefthand Original's designs - she has actually put vintage prints to good use and has made sweet resin-sealed pendants!

Spruce up your spring outfit with one of her new resin pendants! I hear that she's having a sale until March 30, too!

Orike Muth | Artisan Easter Egg box

Updated Mar 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If you don't know the designer Orike Muth yet (based in Hannover / Germany), then you really must get to know her. She's my hometown favourite!

She designs and screen-prints all fabric and papers at her inspiring studio in the Linden neighbourhood in Hannover; each item in her little shop and in her webshop is handmade.

These paper mâche boxes, egg- or heart-shaped, are the latest addition to the creative line over at the Muth House, and it's true eye candy!

You've seen vintage-style paper mâche easter eggs (which are adorable, btw.), right? Now what about these beauties? They make great decoration objects at every stylish household, too!

Esprit de L'Escalier | Philosophical Soap

Updated Mar 9, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Treppenwitz goes Spa. :)

I love me a good bar of soap - natural, quality ingredients and masterly made. But when it comes in beautiful packaging and with a statement and business mission like those by Esprit de L'Escalier, then you have definitely found your way into my wallet.

Look at the bars and read the descriptions. If that doesn't water the mouth of any Spa-ista, then pray, what else would?

The soaps are currently on sale, too, so come on and make your picks today. This bar, Philosophical, has the following ingredients:

"Scented with a transcendental floral-green bouquet with top notes of neroli, bergamot, orange and mandarin, with a spiritual heart of herbal thyme, and an astringent drydown of myrrh, grasses and woods, Philosophical is subtle, clean and fresh. Nourishing olive butter and tussah silk fibres will leave you pondering the metaphysics of soft, silky skin." (via cuteable)

SaJoMo | Tourmaline and Silver Necklace

Updated Mar 9, 2008

Description

Today's Etsy find!
A wonderful necklace with Sterling Silver disks and Tourmalines in subtle colours from pinks to blues. It reminds me of the candy necklaces I got as a child, but really, this is fine high-end jewellery, made by a British designer living in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur! Simply lovely!

Beige Owl Necklace

Updated Dec 1, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

This definitely has some serious cuteness factor.
Does "macramee" make you think of the late 70's/ early 80's, too? Hanging baskets and useless dust catchers? These were weird times. But macramee is actually a craft with much longer tradition, and the desmoiselles of previous centuries used to create stunning pieces using the macramee technique. This necklace here, thus, is a great example of what macramee really is. Forget hanging baskets and ugly, thick sisal weaves!
You may also know that owls, besides mushrooms, hedgehogs and fawns, are hot right now.

So what are you waiting for? This necklace is made by an Etsy creative in Argentina and comes at only $8.00. For roundabout $10, it could be yours!

Sagit Levi Birdie Mezuzah Case

Updated Nov 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Sagit Levi works with polymer clay (you would probably know it as Fimo) and creates objects from earrings through home decor to Judaica items that shouldn't miss in a Jewish household. Her style is what I would call typically Israeli, being very colourful, often playful, sometimes with a dash of folky simpleness, but also full of clever details.

I like this Mezuzah cover, because it's a fresh take on an otherwise quite conventional commodity (thinking of all the simple plastic Mezuzot covers in Israeli households). An artistic Mezuzah cover is a statement all by itself.

The actual Mezuzah, the parchment that goes inside, is additionally available - just contact the seller for a quote.

Whitney Smith Pottery Five Nesting Lotus Bowls

Updated Oct 24, 2007

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Honestly, I am not sure whether the Nesting Lotus Bowls I recommended off Koo de Kir's website some weeks ago was a piece by Whitney Smith, too. They wouldn't say there (and the piece was stunningly low in price, too). But here's to a genuine artist and another set of 'Nesting Lotus Bowls' in fern green. 100% handmade!
