handmade with love


Teaspoons and Petals- This store is perfect to go with my addiction to tea.  Teaspoons and Petals sells gorgeous teacups with a handwritten haiku on each.  Plus it is based in Philly and you can't get any better than Philly Love.  
Publique House sells unique 3-D cards and placemats.  I love the placemats are super cute for special occasions.  They are offered with a pop out of a pram, birdcage (my favorite), balloons, scooter, butterflies, cake, reindeer.  The pram placemats would be so adorable for a baby shower.
Graphic Designer, Valentina is behind Valentina Design's inspirational art work.  I think everyone should have a piece of hers hung up in their house.  Not only are her drawings adorable but also uplifting.

Henrique Oliveira

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira creates breath taking works of art out unique materials.  He creates massive installations out of discarded wood he finds on the streets, paint, and PVC tubes.  I'm amazed by his work.  He brings the space to life with texture and movement.  His work can be seen at the Rice University Art Gallery in Houston, Texas until May 9, 2009.
