Owl Things Considered

Owls generally get me pretty excited, but especially so when they're incorporated into very clever designs! And DAINTYmeBOUTIQUE has a very clever product indeed: stacking rings that make a whole animal hug your finger!

And they have a bunch of different animals too! From pets to woodland to very exotic. All enamel and all beautiful.

The "hugging" ones are extremely clever, but this squirrel definitely is too! I love how he's kind of stuck between your fingers as he reaches for the acorn. And his tail is such a nice finishing touch, isn't it?! I love it!

I also had to show you this hedgehog. It's "just" one ring, but it is adorable enough to melt your heart.

Lastly, I'm also very smitten with these bunny earrings! They're cute as well as elegant. And I love their golden noses.


There's plenty more in the shop to marvel at. I'm definitely going to check in every now and then... I have a feeling this shop might release many other interesting things in the future. Whoever's behind it clearly has great ideas!

I found the most perfect mug! It has the cutest print I've ever seen and it's also in the colors I'm using for my new place! I can totally see myself drinking my morning tea from it. Also, it looks like it's made for my blog, doesn't it?

These and other mugs are available at Jilly Bird.

Woodland Creatures: Shop Update

It is finally time to unveil a collection I've been wanting to make for ages. I did a lot of sewing this past month, followed by waiting for the sun to come out so I could take pictures, but here it is: my Woodland Collection!

I already had plenty of owls in my shop, so I now focussed on some other lovely creatures. All designs are available both as bookmarks and brooches. 

There is still time left to order for the holidays, so if you need that perfect gift for your fox/raccoon/squirrel/hedgehog-loving friend, you can make them happy with a handmade bookmark or brooch. Or spoil yourself of course!

You can find all new items in my shop.

Spotted

One of the best things about fall is that woodland creatures are everywhere! I've grown very fond of squirrels recently. They are very smart, but most of all very cute!

I find it quite hard not to stock up on novelty earbuds. These are making it even harder.

Adorable wooden brooch made even better by the incredible geometric pattern.

You can never have too many cozy sweaters, right?

I love the fact that this woodland cookie cutter set even has a little gnome!

If you don't have much to say, but do need an beautiful card, this one is a winner!

I love the natural colors of this pillow. And the sweet facial expression of the squirrel helps a lot too!

The perfect tape dispenser to hold your favorite washi tape.

Lounge pants with not only squirrels, but hidden little birds as well.

And I'll end with one of my favorite finds: a nutcracker that cracks nuts when you move its tail!
