Hand Over Fist ~ Obama Bandanas

When I saw these Obama Bandanas from Hand Over Fist on Design*Sponge the other day I had to have one. But-I had to make it into a pillow of course! Some chocolate brown thread and white fabric and Voila, a memorable pillow. Get you Obama Bandana here for only $8.00.

Stylin’ Pet Beds ~ Hepper Home

Hepper Home from Vermont has created the worlds coolest pet bed. They knew that there was a better way to live among pet accessories without looking like a crazy cat lady and still keep small critters cozy. I love the Podium bed, it is lined with cozy cotton sherpa and can hold up to 50 pounds of cuteness. Available at Supermarket.

Sea Bags ~ Made of Recycled Sails…Brilliant!

I have to mention this fellow vendor of mine from the upcoming {Unique} show, Sea Bags.  Hannah Kubiak and Beth Shissler create these environmentally conscious bags from recycled sails, that have sailed the high seas.  No two bags are alike and there is a variety of sail designs to choose from.  I love the concept behind these totes and that the owners give back to the community and support causes too (they have a collection of bags with proceeds going to breast cancer research, Cure Bags). The handles are made of thick rope handmade in the Sea Bag studio in Portland, Maine.  I will definitely be checking them at at {Unique}.

Velouria ~ Seattle

Last time I was in Seattle, I came across this lovely little shop in Ballard, Velouria.  A store that only carries merchandise made by independent designers.  Never mass produced and made in the local Northwest area.  They have cute unique dresses, poppy graphic wallets and bags, super cute jewelry by an array of designers.  If you are in the Seattle area, click here for details on Velouria.
