Satsuma Street

Satsuma-StreetA friend of ours posted an embroidery design created by Jody Rice on Facebook today. We liked the design so we thought we would follow up on her other creations. The Los Angeles-based artist has worked as a costume designer, graphic designer and craft designer for 15 years. She felt there wasn’t enough contemporary cross stitch pattern so she created her own designs and opened her very successful shop on Etsy called Satsuma Street. She has created a popular series called, Pretty Little City, but our favorite pattern is the ’row of trees’ pillow.

Andie’s Specialty Sweets

Andie'sSpecialtySweetsDon’t often post anything food related but couldn’t resist this Etsy shop, Andie’s Specialty Sweets. Proprietors Andie and Jason Moore of Dallas, Texas create made-to-order confections that can be used to embellish cakes and other baked goods. Here’s how the culinary artisans describe their work:

“We specialize in creating made-to-order artistic and thematic confections to suit your whim and occasion. Everything here is is hand sculpted, hand molded, hand poured, and given a special artistic tinkering, the old fashioned way.”

My Vintage Book Collection (in blog form)

MyVintageBookCollectionInspired by many of the book illustrations posted on the blog, My Vintage Book Collection (in blog form). We had many favorites but we particularly like the illustrations from the Polish Cookbook by Zofia Czerny and illustrated by Czeslaw Wielhorki, published in 1961. This amazing vintage picture book collection is the compilation of Mallory McInnis and some of the books can be purchased in her Etsy shop, Elwood & Eloise.
