friday favorite finds

this friday's finds are unique in the fact that they are things i actually own! i traded with some really great artists at the bazaar, and wanted to show off my new goodies.

first off, this awesome crocheted cuff bracelet by emilymaysparks (and just wait to see what else i got- i am giving it to finn for his birthday & will post pictures next week..)

i love orange. emily's booth was one of my favorites at this bazaar, i was crazy about her green table, too.
i pounced right on poor nicole from elsabags as soon as i saw her on saturday night. i had my eye on this bag the whole show. it is so cute & well made, and i loved the japanese robot fabric. it is chock full of pockets inside, and i love the pleated outside pocket & cute brown piping!

then, i got to choose a cute wallet from freshlypicked. she's been at the bazaar since the first one i ever attended, and always has super cute stuff. her little pillowcase dresses make me wish for a girl.

michael phipps has an awesome shop on etsy (phippsart) and was so nice- he was willing to print up a shirt especially for me since he didn't have any in my size left at the end of the show. i love his unique style.

so, have we all heard of sarahjanestudios by now? if not, you need to check it out. she is so nice & has such a lovely shop.

funny thing- it was one of my sisters who found her and told the family, then found out she was going to be in the bazaar. she invited me and another sister and we went for the very first time. i was amazed at how cool this craft show was, talked to one of the founders, and the rest is history.

this was a second trade for sarah & i (you might have seen the picture i have already) and i was flattered she wanted a mobile for her boys room.

of course i traded with my talented sister liesel. i loved her cards (perfect for mother's day), and had to snap up an extra set of her awesome tool magnets as well.

i scored one of these cute polka-dot ties for finn- i love the handmade look & fraying edges. she also had cute superhero capes. hooray for fun boy things! you can read more about scallywags and hope she opens an etsy shop soon!

it is crazy how much i am loving this four dollar ring by dallas russell. i am hoping i can somehow prolong it's life expectancy through careful use. also, if you saw me at church last week you know about the polka-dot dress i bought from her as well. hopefully i can post a picture of that here soon. i definately have a big creative crush on dallas. you can find her stuff here.
