Crocheted Snowflakes
Gosh darn you Martha, you’ve done it again! We love these pretty crocheted snowflakes to decorate our winter homes. Martha shows you how here: How-To Crocheted Snowflakes.
We suggest putting on A Christmas Story and crocheting your snowflakes to your little hearts content. Cheers!

Ears Are Warmer Brigitte Bardot Style
We love the way Brigitte Bardot wears a hair band over her ears in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 film, Le Mépris (Contempt). Tame that wind blown mane and keep them ears warm!
We like the look of: Sleepy King
We have to gush a little about our major crush on a local designer, Sleepy King. Perfectly paired vintage fabrics meet pretty felts to make little friends and accessories. We like that each character she creates has a personality all it’s own, taking this “crafty-ness” to an art form of playful imagination. Know someone who likes to be surrounded by adorable things? Get them a gift certificate to the shop for Christmas and let them choose their very own mischievous critter.
