A simple enough utilitarian item, rope has been around every living souls for centuries. Making it current and with another purpose is quite more difficult, tho.
From Brisbane in Australia, Zillpa has done just that, delightfully. From bags to coasters and bowls, stitched in the color of your choice, rope can now take a new path and adorn your everyday life!

Zippered Laptop Sleeve, by byrdandbelle.
Sleeves for the laptop, that is! Way too hot for real ones. lol!
I’ve been considering getting an Acer Netbook (you know, those small laptop computers mostly for web browsing). I’ve been tied up to a computer box for always, and the thought of blogging or shopping on my balcony or in a wifi café or park just seems so liberating to me!
I haven’t decided for sure yet, but if I do, I soooo want a laptop sleeve!! Here are a few finds in that department! ;)

I fell on shop named Zelaya today, what a wonderful find!! It is run by a family from El Salvador, now living in the US.
The bags are cool and unique, the tops are hot and practical. Colors are basics, which makes them so versatile too! Details are the best, love it all!!
I feel the sun coming in!! (Weird ’cause we are in the middle of a 30cm snow storm today in Montreal! lol)

You must have guessed that I love linen fabric by now. So Inklore‘s shop is basically pure torture for me. lol
Pouches, aprons, coasters, bags, table runners, name it! All hand printed, too!
If you haven’t met this shop before, just go.

I found Maramiki on Etsy a few months back, and instantly fell in love with her hand-screenprinted fabrics!
And her items too, of course! Mostly pillow covers, but also pincushions and napkins, in blends of linen and cotton (some organic)!
So I spied (lol) and kept looking and wishing, when I finally decided to just go for it and buy a pack of remnants! What I received was a fabulous selection, exactly what I expected and wanted! Got me inspired instantly so yesterday I made this, below.
Nea + Maramiki = Perfect match! :)
