etsy favorites: rae dunn

i am so excited. i'm starting pottery classes again this month, after about two years without any pottery making. i'm not really taking classes so much as having open studio time with my dear friend megan, a pottery guru (and fabulous fellow photographer!). i plan to learn a lot from her!

in honor of my upcoming classes, take a look at the gorgeous work of rae dunn. she makes some really amazing stuff, and sells some of it in her etsy shop. these are perfect for that upcoming holiday! also check out her inspiring blog.

etsy favorites: hello handmade paperie

for valentine's day last year i got my lovie this gorgeous card from hello handmade paperie. i told them what i wanted to note to say, and they wrote it in the most gorgeous calligraphy, addressed the letter, and popped it in the mail for me a few days before valentine's day. it came in a gorgeous navy envelope with more calligraphy in white lettering.


don't hate me, but it's not currently for sale in their etsy shop. perhaps they'll bring it back in time for the holiday? to tide you over until then, check out their amazing 2010 calendar tea towel. it would look so lovely on the wall of your craft studio!
