Market tote

 

Love this environment friendly Crocheted bag by Etsy-shop Scarves2012. No need for  plastic bags anymore. This bag is reusable, collapsible and very strong, great for fruit and vegetables because it carries so much. Perfect for marketdays.

About Blanks

Happy New Year!
If one of your new years resolutions is keeping a diary you should definitely check out the notebooks of About Blanks. They reuse beautiful old books and turn them in new note- and sketchbooks.
 
I really love their philosophy:

"It is very important to be aware of the things that surround us. The shortage of raw materials in contemporary society forces us to become more creative with the already existing materials. About Blanks is about using those already existing materials in order to create new combinations, inspired by what happens in the world around us. That is exactly what happens inside our About Blanks books – new ideas come to life! Every About Blanks book is unique and is crafted by hand. That is what makes them so special. Every book is one of a kind. The covers are made of reused covers and the inner part is made of paper from responsible sources (FSC)."

Check out their webshop or find a brick and morter-shop in your area here.

Mountains

 

Love these wall-mountains made Rena from Studio Hear Hear, they have christmas-feeling without being christmassy, if you know what I mean.

Jurianne Matter

Jurianne Matter opened her own webshop where you can find all her gorgeous designs. My top 3 are the Cup Ode, the new XL angel in white and the Rosary Vine towel. 
I love the fact that all her products are not just beautiful but also eco-friendly!

A new gem

 

What a wonderful idea! I love art deco glass ceiling lamps, just as a beautiful vintage object. But the ladies of the recently opened Gems of Light - Etsy store took it a step further and turned them in to amazing table lamps with beautiful wooden bases and fabric covered electric cord. With the combination of pastel, wood and neon electric cords, they will fit in to every kind of interior.

Warmth

I love warm fuzzy sheepfurs but I do not like to have a cute sheep skinned so to have it on my couch. Vacht van Vilt makes beautiful, animalfriendly, leatherfree rugs/blankets by felting sheepfleeces. They come in differents sizes and colors.  And the best thing about it? Happpy sheep everywhere!

Cuddles

Whether or not you have kids, we can all use a cuddle no? I love these handmade soft toys from Woodland Tale's Etsy shop.

Kate (the maker of these wonderful creatures): " The idea that something I did by hand can make a child smile hundreds miles away - what an awesome reward! "
