Branda is the work of sisters Mariana and Paula.  Each and every piece in their shop is hand knit by them. You can see the care and attention to detail and design. Everything is so lovely! And at this time of year (at least here in the Northeast) who isn’t craving hats and scarves to keep us warm?

And even better, Mariana and Paula are graciously offering FREE SHIPPING to my readers! Simply use coupon code: ATAUBERBLOG at checkout.

chi-chi fat

Monday, October 17th, 2011

What’s not to love about this necklace?  It’s adorable, it’s handmade by artisans in Guatamala and it’s called the Chi-Chi Fat.  ‘Nuf said.

If I were to wear it I’d layer as many as my neck could take.  I mean, if you’re gonna go, go big. Right?

suggested shop: giardino

Giardino makes lovely handprinted items – tea towels, pillows, art prints, table cloths and more.  It was hard to choose just a few items to show here, you should really go over and take a look at her shop.

My terrifically talented friend Alyssa Ettinger makes gorgeous ceramics.  Sure, we’re friends, but I’d think her work was beautiful even if we’d never met. Just this summer she’s expanded her line to include jewelry. She’s offering up pendants and earrings, casting molds from vintage beads and buttons. The results are spectacular. You can see more of her work right here.

suggested shop: wapa

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

I just love that little “Suggest Shops” tab in the favorites section of Etsy.

More often than not I’ll come across a shop and think to myself “how have I not seen your work before?”

Given that Etsy is so large I think that even if I spent a few hours every day browsing I’d still miss tons and tons of amazing artists! So I’ve decided I’m going to take time once a week to write about a new shop that I’ve stumbled upon from my Suggested Shops.  Hopefully it will help you to find some new favorites as well :)

The first shop I’m spotlighting is Wapa, the work of Ady Shapira in Israel. Really beautiful ceramics, including vases, candle holders and even some gorgeous pendants.  I’m especially fond of the porcelain baskets, seen in the first and last photos below.

Let’s start with this gorgeous white linen dress by Larimeloom. So perfect for warm weather.

Then let’s add this adorable (and reversible!) gingham hat by the talented Cal Patch.

And then, to carry your snacks and a blanket this great woven tote by Tipico.

I’m loving these tie dyed pouches from Scout and Catalogue, particularly the dark inky coloring of the top one.
