Leah Duncan, again!

I’ve blogged about her before, but I really CANNOT get enough of Leah Duncan‘s work!

A few weeks ago, I was at Buk&Nola, one of my consignment stores, to drop some of my jewelry (FYI, if ever you are in Montreal, DO VISIT this store, even if it’s torture for the wallet!), and noticed that Leah’s Rainfall print was there, my favorite. I do not know HOW, but I managed to leave without buying it (budget people, budget!).

Anyway! This week I was browsing Etsy (as always…) and stumbled upon Leah’s fabulous shop again! This time I noticed the tea towels, which would actually make wonderful wall art! LOVE!!!

This is starting to become an obsession………. lol! And to go with that, I just started following her on Twitter. *groupie* :)

Swingsssss!

I just *adore* swingssss! They are so funnnnn and freeeeee!

I was telling this to someone a few days ago, every time I walk by a park I feel like going for a swing! But I rarely do, only if at night. It’s a secwet! (Not so much anymore, I am aware of that!)

SO, if I had more space in here, and higher ceilings, I’d totally have a swing in my condo. Would just LOVE it! Too much of a good thing would be well, awesome.

For those lucky few who have this possibility, check these out (below) from ReidcraftShop! Carved & everything, classy stuff!

Vessels

Medium Leather Bin by Gildem.

I’ve found some fabulous vessels recently, have to share them!!

Vessels can save our spaces… Make your room pretty when actually you can just put what’s lying around the house in them (balls of yarn, branches, rocks, jewels, fruit!). Pratical & pretty :)

Large Thumbshell, by AmyMisle.

Medium Cloth Bowl, by Netamir.

Gourd Bowl with Kudzu Rim, by Midnightcoiler.

Porcelain Pods, by DTerryDesigns.

1960′s Danish Teak Tray, sold by kittyBcreative.

Bambina Vessels, by Popkraft.

Ratku Rock, by Ratku.

Incense Vessel, by FredParkerPottery.

Silhouette Mobiles

Why should mobiles be only cute and without humour? Salty and Sweet understands that!

With themes like PinUp and MisStep and Riot, and made out of mat board, now adults can customise their own ceilings :)

Leave No Rim, Sugah

Silhouette Wood Coasters by Peppersprouts.

Have you noticed there’s always a don’t-leave-a-rim scene in most ongoing TV Shows? This weekend I was watching my Sex And The City DVDs (I gots the soft furry pink collection box set, love it!) and there it was. And then I caught a rerun of Friends, and there it was again.

This is very important. Get coasters, peeps! lol :)

Leafy

Megan Auman‘s shop is all about leaves. She makes these gorgeous steel jewelry pieces that everyone would want to wear.

She recently launched a new line of leafy objects including a cup cozies (or bracelet if you prefer), baskets, ottomans and lights. You HAVE to check these out!!

Rock N Crochet

When one thinks about crochet, they might think about a scarf, gloves or a blanket, which can be really awesome of course! But in the decor department, crochet is almost forgotten, except the kitsch doily (I’m saying that in the positive way, actually).

Well, with Knitalatte‘s collection of stones covered with crochet, and also photographs of these pieces, you got a whole other level of just-pretty-to-look-at crochet! WANT!

Hooked

That’s it! I’m hooked on hooks!

I was looking for some hooks to hang my necklaces (some of mine as the jewelry I buy (yes, yes I do!)), and wowsa, I made some wonderful discoveries along the way to the perfect hook for my needs!

Mine turned out to be what I will probably call my “Jewelry Central”, and it’s from RusticsReborn (seen above). It’s made from recycled barn wood and more recycled parts. It has a shelf, on which I’m hoping to place my ring tree and my earring display, and then I’ll stack up my necklaces on the awesome vintage crystal door knobs and all. I’m in love with it!! Doug also very nicely agreed to ship international upon my request.

I have to admit it was hard to choose with all these other finds I discovered (below)!

Tea Light

What a cute and stylish idea it is to reuse vintage retro looking cups into night lights! They make for stylish and unique affordable practical art!

Only $10 a pop at Micah7.

New Stuff at Nea!

I’ve been working a lot since I started doing crafts full-time! I’ve had consignment requests and a craft fair coming up in October and just preparing for a hopefully very busy Holiday season! :)

I launched some new Wall Wear pieces in my Neawear shop a few weeks ago and just realized they were not shown yet on my own blog! Here they are!

I also worked on some new necklaces the past few days and weeks! I keep making necklaces these past weeks, like there is almost no place for earrings in my head right now!

Actually, it used to be the opposite! lol! I’ll get back to earrings soon, I promise :)

And for the crafters out there, I listed new supplies in my NeaBlossoms shop, mostly czech glass beads, but other great ones too! Need some? :)

Transfered Art

Pick up one of these wonderful art pieces by heddybomb for your home! They consist of super cute organic designs made by Xerox transfer on pine wood! Unique and beautiful!!

Plait

Hand woven in a Wisconsin home studio, these wonderful napkins and table runners have luxury and style written all over them (not literally, of course!). Color mixes are fabulous and nicely chosen and the pictures just make you ake for them!

Treat yourself with Plait! :)

Peppa

I first saw the works of PeppaStudio a while back, on I-don’t-remember-which blog. Fell in love instantly because of it’s simple and sweet designs and prints. I had RSSed the then empty Etsy shop to know when it would be full of goodies.

This weekend, there it was! Awesome little porcelain pieces, just waiting to find a new home! Don’t forget to check out the already sold items!

Mobile Your Home Pretty

I’ve already talked about my liking of mobiles in the past, and when I found out about these ones this morning I could not resist talking about it again!

Spin Designs offers some of the cutest mobiles I’ve seen in a while! Using black museum mat board, the unique designs are laser cut and then assembled flat for shipping. So once you get it, a little assembly has to occur before your mobile is ready to pretty your home!

Priced from $38 to $52 a pop, you’ll have to be in the US to get them because no international shipping is listed… :(
However their profile does seem to indicate shipping outside the US is possible.

On the bright side, they also have in the shop some great and unique jewelry with a style I’ve never seen before! Nice!! :)
