Felted Wool Slippers by French Press Knits on Etsy

If you haven’t yet figured it out, I’m completely Etsy-obsessed. And I’m also on a major fall kick. The same coworker for whom I took photos of her handmade gift tags, turned me onto this Etsy shop, French Press Knits, today and I basically need a pair of these felted wool slippers. Immediately. How perfect are these for getting to the office on a snowy morning, kicking off your boots and treating your toes to something cozy? And clearly they’re amazingly adorable, too. Even the packaging is sensational! If you followed my wedding planning adventures, you already know I’m obsessed with kraft paper boxes tied up with baker’s twine.

And, yes, they even come in many different colors. Really fun and cozy colors. I’ll take a pair of each, please and thank you.

Salvaged Stationey Gift Tags by Little White Lily

One of my coworkers makes incredible handmade gift tags, which she crafts from scraps of beautiful paper, lovely ribbon and salvaged stationery. I’ve been helping her with photos to revamp her Etsy shop, Little White Lily, and thought I would share a few here. Some of these items are currently available in her shop or will be available soon. I’m also working on photos of a whole array of absolutely amazing Halloween gift tags, holiday gifts tags, and tags in more colors and patterns than you can imagine. You should do yourself a favor and hop over and buy a few now, because as the friend with an MBA I’m working on convincing Tiffany she needs to raise her prices – she’s basically giving these lovely little creations away for free right now. (And we can’t have that, now can we?) Consider this my little insider’s tip of the day. And seriously, how beautiful are these gift tags?

Photography by Yvette Inufio

I think I first saw Yvette Inufio’s photography months ago, but when I stumbled onto her flickr photostream, it was like finding myself lost in the prettiest of dream worlds. Balloons and flowers and soft pretty textiles, old books, vintage suitcases and enamel makeup compacts and old bicycles propped against brightly painted buildings. Just complete and utter heaven. And luckily for us, Yvette Infuio’s Etsy shop is filled with many of her amazing photos offered in a wide range of print sizes and pairings. To me, these romantic images are perfect for a bedroom or a sunshine-filled little reading nook. Now I just need to find myself a reading nook…
