five favorites :: handmade shops

now, I obviously have WAY MORE than

five favorite handmade shops,

but today I'm sharing some that I have

purchased from, own their products,

and absolutely love them. 

I'm sure I'll share more favorites another time!

knitty bitties

Andrea's items are super cute + extremely well made!

I have one of her little pouches and hoop art that she

made for me, and they make me smile.

livy love designs

I have at least 3 of Diana's prints on my walls,

and one of her chevron necklaces that I always

get compliments on. Love her!

happy days

I think my favorite thing about Hannah's shop

is how she uses color in unexpected combinations.

Her earrings are simple and beautiful, and the

colors always seem just perfect, even though

I would never think to put certain colors together.

pretties by meg

I love every pair of earrings I own from Megan's shop.

my husband says they're trendy, plus they're pretty & lightweight!

little green thread

I mentioned Alison's shop in a post last week,

and I ordered this sweet cell phone case.

It arrived super quickly & is totally adorable;

my new favorite thing in my purse!

seriously, go browse each of these shops;

I know you'll fall in love with all sorts of pretty things!

{just a second}

Just popping in for a second today!

I am BUSY.

It's my dear friend's birthday, among other things. :)

But I did want to share a few things with you before I go...

I made a set of these cute little flower pins for Valerie to give away on her blog; she's also featuring a fun little Q&A with yours truly {who knows, you may learn something about me that you never knew before!}. You can see the feature post here.

Erin from Bringing Up Burns commented with the link to this lovely Peony + Pewter Wedding theme - it's just lovely! You can check out all of the inspiration pictures by clicking the link, but I had to share those shoes. They're too fabulous.

I've also just added the option of email subscription with FeedBurner. Check out the sidebar if you'd like to subscribe, or click here.

That's all I've got for today, ladies.

{I don't think any guys are reading this?}

I'll be back tomorrow {hopefully} to kick off my Favorite Musicals series!
