Even if biology was never one of your strong suits in school, that won’t stop you from lovin’ all of the science-inspired designs of emily p-s jewelry anyway! Our neighbor over in Berkeley, California, Emily Percival-Snyder is a Maine College of Art grad and has been making jewelry ever since she was a wee child.
With a love for “watch[ing] things grow, in a petri dish, in a flower pot, where ever”, Emily’s developed a line of jewelry based around that interest. Her pieces fall into cool sounding buckets like Cell …
Man, it was tough picking the ARCHICRAFT product to feature in this post. Do we go with the awesome, shiny laser-cut acrylic doilies? The carefully crocheted mobius cowls with built-in twist?! Or what about the customizable laser-cut card where you can pop out the dots to create your own message?! But augh! Then we wouldn’t get to highlight the product that makes us laugh the most: the hand-embroidered mustache bandana! Ah ha ha ha haaaa…
Emeryville’s Cindy Liu is the designer and fabricator behind ARCHICRAFT, and she puts her architecture schooling …
We spotted one of these irresistible pop-up placemats made of recycled paper on Etsy’s front page, and we had to see who the maker was. We were full of delight to find Publique Living to be a San Francisco-based company, and even more pleased when designer Lian Ng accepted our invitation to join Modern Mouse!
Lian is a self-proclaimed aficionado of mid-20th century furniture and modern minimalist architecture, an interest that we think comes across quite nicely in his amazing work. If creating his line of die-cut and laser-cut designs wasn’t …
Feeling that chill in the air yet? Crickets Creations can take care of that. Just wrap one of Celeste’s (aka “Crickets”) handknit scarves around your neck and you’ll be snuuuuug as a bug in a rug. Celeste’s line of handmade fiber art is brought to us from Kanab, Utah. Where’s that, you ask? We looked it up and can now tell you that it’s seven miles north of the Arizona border AND, according to the City of Kanab website is often called “Little Hollywood” because of its film-making history over …
Okay, truly I’ve been trying to come up with a post that doesn’t use so much punctuation…but I just can’t!!! CONGRATULATIONS to Allison of Monkeys Always Look for an amazing accomplishment of shipping over 3700 garden markers to Anthropologie!
We’re serious fans of crafts with a Japanese flavor, so we knew we had to have Yokomono Studio in the house. Powered by designer/creator Yoko from her studio in Berkeley, California, Yokomono Studio offers dainty handle bags, quilted lunch bags and tissue box covers in some tasty fabrics.
Aside from being fun to say, we like the Yokomono name because of its meaning too. Mono (pronounced with a long “o”) is Japanese for “things, articles, objects”, so Yokomono = things brought to you by Yoko. Clever! Thanks for being a part …
You’ll make your gift-giving prowess known if you package it up with a lovely greeting card, gift enclosure and/or gift wrap from Feterie. We’re drawn to the vibrant colors and simple yet sophisticated patterns in Feterie’s paper products, which are inspired by founder and designer Cathe Huynh-Sison’s nomadic travels around the globe. And we appreciate the fact that all of Feterie’s products are printed using eco-friendly paper and soy ink (for products that are offset printed).
Based in San Jose, California, Cathe’s not only the driving force behind Feterie, she also …
Aaah, just reading about mi SPA‘s product line makes us feel like we’re being pampered at the spa:
The line’s luxurious indulgence awakens the senses with its intoxicating Asian-inspired scents from sensuous sake to the aromatic tropical scents of dreamy coconut lemongrass and sweetly-refreshing Yuzu.
We’re talking the likes of green tea body lotion, asian pear perfume oil and some amazing looking bamboo charcoal soap! Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Can you smell it yet? We’re liking the fact that these yummy bath and body products also happen to be nutrient-rich, rice-based ingredients …
