Good morning. Here are today’s picks from papernstitch.com.
Earlier today, I mentioned that the new exhibition kicked off this morning on papernstitch.com. And I thought I’d share a few items you’ll find there if you visit the site…
(top to bottom) Left. Scalloped Party Garland $26 and Reusable, Organic, Bunting Tote $19 Middle. Carnation Bouquet Headband $35, Kerry Print $20, and Learning to Fly Notebook $12 Right. Azure Ocean Headband $18 and Teapot Love Print $10
At less than a month old, The shop at No. 144 already has loads of potential, with a beautiful collection of one-of-a-kind fashion and wedding accessories: headbands, belts, shoes clips, ring pillows, and more.
But these accessories aren’t just for walking down the aisle. Bold colors and modern shapes make these handmade pieces a great addition to any wardrobe, especially one that needs a little spiffing up. Here are my picks…
1. Fabric Flower Headband – Royal Blue Chiffon Ruffle : For an afternoon lunch with friends.
2. Nautical Fabric Flower Accessory Pin – Blue Stripe Chiffon Rose : Add it too your favorite belt or purse strap for a little more fun.
3. Ruffle Grosgrain Ribbon Wrap Belt – Red and Royal Blue : Dress up a plan dress or t-shirt with one of these brightly colored belts.
4. Fabric Flower Hair Clip Fascinator – Yellow Chiffon and Pink Tulle : For a special occasion.
Visit The shop at No. 144 to view more of the collection.
Good morning. Today is the first day of the newest exhibition on papernstitch (more on that later). And these are today’s daily favorites.
Since we’ve been discussing crafty business tips and advice here a lot more lately, I thought I’d make a special weekend links this time. Featuring only crafty business articles from around the web. I read a lot of these kinds of posts over the weekend, when I have free time, and I thought you might too…
-Three rules for setting prices on your products (with a conscience).
-A BIG crafty reading round-up with lots of great biz tip articles.
-Need a website, but don’t have the money to pay someone else. Build it yourself in one weekend with this Website in a Weekend article.
-A great podcast for marketing your craft online.
-Three tips for promoting your work to galleries (found thanks to Megan).
-Thinking of hiring a helping hand? Eight tips for choosing and working with an intern.
That’s it for this week. Enjoy your weekend everyone! See you Monday.

I’ve had so much on my to-do list lately, I am running out of places to put post-its. Maybe I should just break down and get one of these mini goal chalkboards from Mary Kate McDevitt. I’ve been wanting one for a while now and its certainly a more eco-friendly option that paper notes.
Friday’s handmade favorites.
