made in windsor

i was so pleasantly surprised by all the talented artists and crafters who brought their wares to the made in windsor craft show on saturday.

i fawned over a table shared by sister designers Tina Thibert (Dancing Jellybean) and Coleen Thibert (Coleeflower Designs) for quite some time before finally settling on a set of lovely magnets, a wee little deer patch, some pretty fabric-covered earrings, and a sewing machine-patterned tote for my dearest friend.

check out Tina's etsy shop... i have my eye on this sheepy wallet:


+ click here for Coleen's.

i also met hair accessory designer Stephanie Martin (To The Moon Designs) while admiring a set of cupcake hairpins... i was later informed they were for little girls. however, she does take custom orders for big girls too! check out her web shop here.



precious! find me a baby; i want to stick something pretty on its head.

Jodi Green had these amazing screen printed treasures for sale (notebooks, messager bags, dresses) that were actually part of her MFA thesis, which you can learn about here. i really wanted a notebook, but they were a little out of my price range ($70)... i couldn't walk away empty-handed so i bought a teeny little matchbook-notebook for teeny little note-taking.

i'm still admiring that full size notebook from afar in her etsy shop.

check out her shop and then see how she turns the insides into works of art here.







last, but not least, i nabbed a greeting card featuring a photo from the series The Travels of Bonhomme Squelette by Laura Gould. look how pretty. i don't think i'll ever have the heart to send it away.

oh windsor, you're so cute sometimes.
