This is Ruth Ashton's Monsters of the Household Variety. I first saw this on Anthropologie's website and have started to make my way through her website. I am excited that Anthropologie is selling unique artist objects. I would love to get my hands on this.
These are pages from Louise Bourgeois' cloth book. I found these on the blog wren handmade.
I first saw this on the blog, wren handmade, and kept thinking about it for months. This is the amazing cloth book Ode à l’Oubli. Louise Bourgeois has left a legacy of works, and many of my favorites are her works done in cloth. Please read this NYTimes article, Louise Bourgeois Builds a Book From the Fabric of Life, by Amy Newman. I wish I could spend a day, or days exploring these pages. Hopefully one day.
Etsy has many artists selling unique small batched designed fabric. Spoonflower is a valuable venue for this type of production. Wonderfluff is a sweet etsy shop where you can purchase sweet botanical mod like fabric. Check out this fun wonderland.
This is the "new" Textures Handmade Market. It is located at 1123 Thomasville Rd, next to Waterworks. First Friday was exciting, the aroma of sweet cupcakes mixed with all the new goodies by Tallahassee's Finest. Maggie Willman did an amazing job creating a space that you do not want to leave. If you are in town, you should check out the sweet treats.
I have received my spoonflower fabric and it is an amazing service. At just $18 a yard you can get your own image made into fabric, and it is pretty easy. I have made a bird pillow out of the fabric, the wing, eye and nose are other designers fabric. The color of the drawings are accurate, however the background was suppose to be cream rather than a butter yellow. I have been told by others that yellow/cream is a hard color to reproduce. I am glad to know this and will alter my drawings/designs in the future. I wish everyone best of luck with their spoonflower try and I am will be designing a new one for the future.
Here is another fine example of what one can do with your own designed and printed fabric. Check out their shop on etsy as well as stop by Spoonflower and play around with your own designing.

You should check out the site, especially if you heart birds like so many of us do.
This beautiful papercut can be found on Etsy. For a mere $20 it is amazing that all the work is hand done. Despite the shop name, all of the papercuts are done by hand and there is an amazing variety. A collection of beauty awaiting us all.

This is from Yokoo's store on etsy. I find the photos and the work pretty amazing. The chain wonderfully walks the line between feminine and masculine. I'd like to see a photo of someone walking the street with this necklace on. I hope you visit her site.
This shop, Linnet, is filled with small intricate crochet items that enthuse me. I am thrilled to wish on these items at the first star tonight. They feel like dream items.

Ninainvorm has so many sweet shapes and designs in her pottery. She sells her items on etsy, continually placing new items for sale often. The pieces seem light and airy, how she deals with negative space is exquisite.
This is Nathalie Lete's workshop/home space. I find her work very cheerful. Her work seems very connected to childhood and the need and appreciation for the handmade. The rug seen is called Blume Rug.
I have been a fan of Sailors Valentines for several years now. An original valentine can be very pricey however some stores have created reproductions of these valentines for a more affordable price. My mom bought me one at Anthropologie a couple of years back. I love seeing all the intricate work someone put into it. I live in Florida so it also reminds me of all our beautiful beaches.
