Little Tile Gnome
Little Tile Gnome

Little Tile Gnome features hundreds of coaster sets, in almost any color and pattern imaginable!  I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting papers to use in my coaster creations.  The surface of each set is water resistant, making them fully functional.  They're the perfect gift for friends, family, co-workers, teachers, and anyone else who might be in need of a smile.  Using the left over paper scraps, I started making gift tags, which can be found at my sister site, Little Lawn Gnome ( http://www.littlelawngnome.com).  If you see a gift tag pattern you like, let me know – if it's not already a coaster set, chances are it could soon be!

Donovan Beeson
NAME

For anyone who is thrilled by a beautiful old paper or who loves the smell of mouldering books. For anyone who has horded away stacks of vintage maps or gleefully gathered the free paint swatches at hardware stores. For anyone who can appriciate the glory of office supplies. For anyone like me, in other words. I don't think I'm alone in loving all things vintage or unique in the paper world. Instead of hidding away my treasures, I've decided it is time to share them at http://donovanbeeson.etsy.com

Bread & Badger
Bread & Badger

Bread and Badger takes boring pieces of glass and turns them into modern works of art.

From vases to pendants to glazed pottery, all the glass pieces I make are etched completely by hand. I draw or paint the designs on, then carve them out with a high-speed rotary tool and diamond burrs. This gives each piece a bit of personality and character. Custom orders are always welcome!

Moongirl Productions
moongirlproductions

Among the familiar tools of paper, paint, scissors and glue, moongirl basks in the feelings of happiness, satisfaction and thriftiness (that quality revered by the Boy Scouts) that making her own stuff had evoked in her youth, when all cards and gifts were made by hand.  

Visit the web site, take a look around and see if there's something you like, but if you don't . . . well, as our mothers used to say, if you can't say anything nice, . . . you know the rest!

Urban Construction Designs
NAME

Urban Construction was started with the goal to create one-of-a-kind pieces, using recycled materials as much as possible. While not all items are made from recycled materials, designer Alicia Fraser does try to use vintage/recycled materials whenever inspiration strikes. 

All of the clothing is made from reconstructed vintage styles that may have otherwise gone to waste.  The primary focus of the line however is the jewelry, which includes amazing hand-sculpted polymer clay wearable works of art, beautiful beaded jewelry, and repurposed items that have been turned into jewelry.

A Very Mary Design
averymarydesign

Mild-mannered English professor by day & designing diva by night, Mary Ann Abbott is the grammatically correct owner of a very mary design. She loves to make kitschy stuff embellished with vintage jewelry, rhinestones, and buttons. She hoards fabric and paper products. She's named her glue gun (it's June, in case you were wondering). And she's admittedly a huge nerd, glasses and all. Most of her clever goodies are ones-of-a-kind, and she thanks you oh-so very much for adoring handmade stuff. P.S. She loves cats.

A. Bel Studio

Bel Studio was created by me, Amanda Krueger, to be a charming little shop specializing in handmade goodies for one and all.  I work in any medium I can get my hands on, and you just never know what I may be peddling next!  My stock is ever changing, but I guarantee that all of my creations are vintage inspired, and crafted with some serious love and attention to detail.

Craft Leftovers

"All of the patterns are inspired from materials destined for the land fill or the back of the closet. New patterns are published every Saturday. I believe that although I am driven to create, I am not driven to create more waste."

Green Prairie Fibers
Green Prairie Fibers

I have fallen in love with the process of collecting, processing, and dyeing fibers with local natural materials. The colors are rich, fresh, and full of the earth. The colors offered change with the seasons as plants grow and fade away. The yarn is dyed in small dye lots so no ecosystem is impacted by the collection of raw materials. All sock yarn is 100% superwash merino unless otherwise specified. Each dye lot has enough yarn to knit a pair of knee high or men's socks. Great for lace work as well. Blocks beautifully.

Jedidiah's Novelties
Jedidiah's Novelties

These days most people are savvy to recycling their trash, but designer Sarah Moyar is progressive in recycling forgotten bits of nostalgia into art and fashion.  Moyar’s company, Jedidiah’s Novelties, includes an entire creative line of handmade greeting cards, vintage inspired aprons, funky T-shirts, charming baby items, wall art, and much more. Sarah is an advocate for “hands-on” hobbies.  Inspired by the handcrafts of her grandparent’s generation, she believes that they possessed a quality of life that is escaping the current generation of fast-food, drive-through Americans.  “They were on to something,” she says of their slower pace and ability to “make do” with what they had.  “There is so much self-expression, stress relief, purpose, and sense of accomplishment when you fashion something by hand, and I think we’re losing that with the availability of mass-produced consumer goods.”  If you are a thoughtful consumer, eager for one of a kind gifts, shop "Jed's" and support hand-made, made in the USA, and the traditional crafts of yesteryear.

Third Floor Fibers
Third Floor Fibers

My name is Katie and I started Third Floor Fibers in my little third floor apartment as a way to actually do something productive with my handspun creations. I do all kinds of crafts; knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, and jewelry making but I have a passion for fiber arts. My artwork can also be found in Art-o-mat vending machines throughout the country. I spend my days teaching art to elementary school children but my nights (and summers!) making my crafts.
