Arch
I wish there were a local art supply store similar to Arch in my area. There’s one near a local college which I adore, but they just don’t have all that I need. I always have to order my paper from online retailers and the appearance in the store isn’t all that interesting. Arch reminds me of an antique store where I get to roam around and find everything that I never knew I wanted. Maybe one day… Read More
Shop Shopping
It’s always been a fascination of mine, shop fronts. Today I wandered around the downtown area of Hamburg, Pennsylvania looking at store fronts for a dream of mine. Here you’ll see many of the ones I would consider for a business. Thanks to Ellie at Mint for the inspiring post yesterday. #1 – This building would be my number one pick, mostly because of it’s size and it’s potential. Named after it’s owners Jacob... Read More
Dutzi Design
I love the burlap bags below by Dutzi Design, and don’t feel too bad about spending $80 on a bag because the second bag from top will help at least some people in the Yucatan who have indirectly been affected by the swine flu. All of the profits from the sale of the bag will go directly back into the workshop and to the women who work there. Available on the auto site Read More

High and Mighty
Feel high and mighty, are you deserving of royalty? Then maybe these would make cute wedding bands or a gift for that friend who thinks they are above and beyond. Gorgeously crafted crown rings by Schlusselkind on Etsy are just the thing. I’ve marked Schlusselkin as a favorite seller and can’t wait to see what else is offered in the store. Read More
Eclecto
I am really impressed with Uppercase Gallery’s Eclecto Notebooks. With titles like Prim & Proper, Near & Far, they have to be something interesting. Near and Far Eclectonotes are handmade with an eclectic mix of vintage papers and repurposed books to inspire your collection of thoughts. Near and Far The lined papers of the Eclecto notebooks are made from post-consumer waste and each book is 6.25″ x 8.25″ and are priced... Read More
