My Handbound Book





If I was heading back to school this september, I would be heading over to My Handbound Books.

You can grab their amazing notebooks for under $5.

I am in love with their colourful books, the artist accordion book and the itty bitty books. Great gifts for any Bibliophilia in your life.

Earth Day Find












I just grabbed this amazing pouch from KMakings. This Halifax seller makes amazing handmade lunch bags.

Great way to support the Earth Day Cause, recycle the paper or plastic bags and hold onto these fabric goodies.

Tales from Dogberry Hill


One of the perks of running this blog is discovering local talents who deliver fine artisian crafts. Dogberry Hill offers stunning copper wire jewelry and hand bound journals. (pictured above)

These journals would make a perfect gift for any artist or writer.

I really enjoy this white journal, it would be perfect for sketches or writing a poem.

Folksy Cheer with Folky Dolky


Looking for some good ole Newfoundland memorabilia to decorate your home? Why not check out Folky Dolky, staying true to the Newfoundland tradition of eye popping colours, her Lino Cuts embody jellybean row

(for all those not familiar with Newfoundland, JellyBean row is a group of brightly coloured historic homes in Down town St John's.)

You can grab these prints matted or in embroidery hoop. I am really feeling the embroidery hoop prints.

I have a feeling my pocketbook is going to be a whole lot lighter very soon, so why not check Folky Dolky out, and buy yourself some good ole Newfoundland Cheer.

Turquoise is 2010



Turquoise is the colour of 2010, its brillant, earthy and sublime and so is the Etsy Seller Aquasphere.

I am instantly attracted to her amazing works of art, the colour pallet she uses and the seamless quality. I'm thinking a modern twist on the classic 50's plain jane pearls. Forget pearls girls, its all about the Turquoise, Jade, and Onyx. Think bold, think beautiful.

I am in love with her Majestic Necklace.

The polished Onyx of her Infinity necklace.

and

watching all the girls go green with envy when they see you with this stunning work of art.

MeiMei Design

MeiMei Design is a fresh new shop on Etsy offering handmade jewelry and custom items for any occasion.

The Designer(and operator of this Blog) is a trained Graphic artist and photographer with a love of international travel, anything tribal and steampunk.

I often interweave my passions into my works creating stunning metal neck peices, kitschy fun rings and funky t shirts. I like to think that jewelry should be unique, thats why I only create a select few of each item, using the best sensitive skin friendly metals, like silver and 10 k gold.

I am Eco friendly, using reusable bags and using recyclable supplies and if you spend over $20 in my Shop, you get free shipping!

I also do custom orders, so don't hesitate to message me and ask.
