heart2handbags

Amy Pike (Wisconsin, USA),  creator of Heart2Handbags, makes the nicest fabric pouches. I love her choice of whimsical fabrics and her unwavering persnickety workmanship. The clean stitches inside and around each piece make the whole thing pop out so beautifully. Her favourite fabric designers include Alexander Henry, Michael Miller and Amy Butler. 

little mo and friends

I love the details of these beautiful post cards illustrated by Helena Tay (Perth, Australia). Her shop, LittleMoAndFriends, is certainly one of my favourites on Etsy. Apart from paper goods, Helena makes jewellery and dolls that feature her own illustrations. You may learn more about her and her art on www.littlemoandfriends.com.

sumikko gurashi (san-x)

Sumikko Gurashi by San-X (Japan) is (by far) my favourite kawaii. People think I'm too old to keep a collection of notepads and other paper goods featuring these cuddly creatures... I honestly don't care! :) 

Apart from the characters' inherent cuteness, I love how busy they seem and the little story that each illustration depicts.
