Find Fresh Art and Handmade
Jul. 13 09
Top. Spring Poppy Brooch, We’ve Finally Landed moving cards, TeePee Original Fabric, Feelgood Cards, and Betsy Bag Middle. Grateful, These are the Days…necklace, and Light as a Feather necklace Bottom. Mama go to Market Bag, Red Jute Family, and Paper Geography
The new exhibition is up, I am excited to say! Its been a long time coming, as the exhibition before was a little longer than usual. I hope you will stop by and see all the beautiful new shops on the site. I always feel like a kid in the candy store on these days.
A couple of shops that are really standing out in my mind today would be…Kitty Rogers Photography (beautiful colors and compositions), Sloe Gin Fizz (illustrations by Nicole Ray, who was trained at the noted School of Visual Arts), Olive Manna (for original designs in textiles and paper goods), and Pansy Maiden (vegan-friendly, earth-friendly bags). Those are just a couple of course, but I am dying to know YOUR favorite. Let me know in the comments section and I will choose one comment at random to win a little something special from papernstitch. This mini-contest will close this Thursday at 8pm eastern.

Thank you, Brittni! I am so honored to be a part of such a talented group of artists. ;oD
I am loving the jewelry of Blossom Shop…I love the seafoam greens and blues she uses, and the delicate sweetness of each piece.

I love the Kitty Rogers and D. S. Brennan photography! So beautiful! I love the necklaces from the happygirlshop as well — but you’re right, so hard to choose!

The new exhibit looks great! I have to say that although I love so many of the artists, Nifty Kidstuff and Scarlet Fig keep me clicking back again and again. =)

I think my favorite is the pretend sewing machine from nifty kid stuff (http://papernstitch.com/shop/nifty-kidstuff/product/pretend-sewing-machine). Just plain cute!!!

I have a friend who is planning a Handmade Fancy Nancy party for her daughter. The Scrappy Heart Garland by Bananasaurus Rex is so sweet. It would be a lovely detail for the party. ♥ I’m just as excited as the kids!!!
