Kim's Little Monsters
Posted by Amy on Friday March 4, 2011



I absolutely adore these wooden brooches from Kim’s Little Monster shop that I saw this morning over on the Etsy front page. Kim Welling is an artist and illustrator based in Netherlands and I am totally crushing on these portrait pins! I can totally imagine owning 7 of these (all with different portraits, of course!) each one for a different day of the week. Or maybe just 6, and then pin all 6 of them altogether for Sunday.
Oh yes.

Happy weekend everyone! I hope you had a lovely week and that your weekend is off to a wonderful start! :)
p/s—My Etsy article 9 tips to be more creative was featured in an Etsy newsletter today, thanks Danielle! :)

Craftyfolk: Wooden brooches
Posted by Amy on Wednesday November 3, 2010



I love fun brooches, and these wooden ones with illustrations by Craft Folk would look perfect pinned on a cardigan (especially since it’s getting a little cold out!)
You can see Sarah’s whole brooch collection available for sale over in this section.
