Awesome Purchase of the Week

Got this cute snowflake sweatshirt for Amelia from elSage designs the other day. I must say it has become the little one's fave since she's been wearing it and I absolutely love it too: amazing quality product that has this wonderful characteristics of something made with love and care by an actual person. The beauty of handmade!

I first 'meet' Phoebe, the designer and maker of elSage, through Etsy and then I started following her on IG. I enjoy so much following her family adventures through her pictures and the process of her making her beautiful hand printed products. She makes a great array of apparel for the whole family using sustainable materials and each product is block-printed individually by Phoebe herself.

Happy Spring Day to all of you!

Awesome purchase of the Week: Falconwright

Toronto designer duo Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright are the masterminds behind screen printed leather goods Falconwright. I fell in love with their work a couple years ago when they were part of the vendor line-up at Puces POP here in Montreal and later discovered that Sandi is also the illustrator of Deadweight, an absolute fave shop on Etsy ( I once got the Mystery pack and it was like opening a Christmas present!) and Danielle is an amazing jeweller: this girls are just super creative and awesome.

All this to tell you I recently purchased one of their leather goods, a beautiful emerald green clutch with a wonderful eye pattern: in love! The leather is so soft, the colors so bright and the pattern is fantastic. If you haven't check their products yet, I recommend you to click here, take a look and enjoy!

Let me tell you, this dream can be achieved...Well, at least if you have a good imagination and thanks to Misako Mikomo fake watches ;)

No, this is not a commercial, it's just me, very happy to have received in the mail my very own fake watch from the awesome Eva Monleón from Misako Mikomo.

I first saw her awesome fake watches in one of my favorite internet places, Seventy Tree blog. Since I saw it I knew a fake watch was what I needed in my life and after many months of just dreaming of it, I finally make it mine :D Yay!

The packaging: adorable!

Little cards: so cool!

My bracelet: best thing ever!

Latest acquisitions

It's always exciting for me to receive packages in the mail from Etsy sellers. But I have to say that my little package from PinkRain was the one that have make me the happier!

I bought the Mini mini house brooch and it is so cute and perfect and Mafalda (the lovely illustrator/artist) sent me some adorable little things along like the triangle brooch and the ghost little red brooch that are just my type of thing. Open that package was like christmas in April!

I absolutely adore the little keepsake bag she sent me, is so perfect and cute I want to eat it!!! For more awesomely cute things go to PinkRain shop.

The bag is too a recent purchase from this amazing shop. It is custom made for me and I couldn't believe how fast it arrived and the excellent craftsmanship, I love my bag! Plus she sent me a lovely mini wallet and the button with the sweet crying-dog :) Visit Christina's and see the cool bags she makes :)

And this little lady is called Daisy but little one baptized her as Neige (which is french for snow) or Niña (spanish for little girl). I don't know how she came up with those names, but I like them :)

It was so hard to pick just one doll from GoodByeBlueMonday, this shop is full of the cutest little friends and I already want to come back for more :) Like, I want all those dolls for me!

I hope you have found some interesting things to go explore!

Thanks for visiting!

Etsy love

I love etsy. Not just having a shop there but buying there, too. It's a place full of wonderful, talented artist and it's such a pleasure to get something directly from the person who make it/create it.

And then when the postman arrives with all the lovely yellow envelopes it's so exciting :D it feels like Christmas! And etsy sellers are so attentive and nice, i love the little thank you notes, the stickers, the cards, the stamps, the japanese tape and all those details they use to make the packaging prettier. Pretty packaging makes Iveth happy. Oh, and let's not forget the freebies!! yay, so cool! You won't get that kind of care and attention from any mall/shop crap. Buying/selling handmade rule!

Freshly arrived mail from The Seventy Tree, Small Talk Studio and The Black Apple.

Little pretty things from Tabitha Emma.

The seventy tree lovely prints and awesome gift (funny heads magnet), thanks Kerry!

In love with the little details on The Black Apple's packaging.
