Things That Make Me Smile: Objects Handmade(y)
January 12, 2010
I adore my crochet doilies from Ikea. Not sure what to do with them yet, though I find this very inspiring.
And I am treasuring my hand-cut wooden anchor necklace by Emedemarta. Opening the package was quite the experience; little brown paper packages tied up in red and white baker’s twine, a thoughtful handwritten note, a little pouch to store my necklace, and little extras thrown in with my order. Definitely my favorite Etsy store right now.
And speaking of handmade, my good friend Stacie and her sister are doing an apron giveaway on their blog Never Enough. My post is a little late on this as the contest ends this Wednesday, but head over there for your chance to win a retro, Minnie-Mouse inspired apron. Good luck!

jenn, you have the best clothes. where is that shirt from? uo?
I love that necklace, and I love receiving nice packages. It makes the whole experince so much nicer.
As soon as I saw your post it reminded me of this DIY Tutorial for Doily Table Runners. I am not sure if that is your style but I think the IKEA doilies would be perfect.
