purse1.jpg

This ‘Brown Butterfly’ purse from Pink Ric Rac is very cute and perfect for holding all those essentials when you don’t want to carry a big bag around. Or if you are welded to your big bag then this would make a cute coin purse or something for holding all the little bits that roll around your bag - or is that just mine?

Beautiful butterfly tags from Natural Historie - they are called Fancy Flight and I can see why!

Now this is my kind of slogan! ‘If the shoe fits, buy it!’ altered domino from Art By Heather. This can become a pendant, keyring or magnet.

Print Post Freshline

fresh-mos.jpg

When I went to Freshline’s Etsy shop I was thrilled with the gorgeous things on offer and I couldn’t decide which item to feature so I’ve featured several! I really like the Scotty Dog print but I must agree with the sentiment for the following card - ‘We all scream for ice cream’

ice.jpg

And of course the cupcakes in this next card are pretty cute too - as well as looking tasty!

Some cute (and clever) things from the Eco Etsy street team.

Penguin Love takes vintage books and turns them into journals or sketch books for you. You get to choose your paper type and you can customise other things too.

skirt1.jpg

A cute skirt that’s eco friendly too - what more could you want? It’s hand dyed and uses hemp and organic cotton. It’s available from Jennifer Joy Creative.

bag.jpg

These bags are such a fantastic idea! Mandinka takes old suit coats and turns them into bags often leaving the details on there such as the buttons and labels.

produce.jpg

These reusable produce bags are another great idea and are available from Lima Bean Home. And best of all they allow your products to breath when in the fridge so no nasty slimy food and it lasts longer too!

buzz_off_cover.jpgcow.jpg

I received this book as a present and have just finished reading it to my daughter. The story has good repeating elements which is perfect for small children and the ending involves fly finding a bed somewhere you wouldn’t expect that will have children giggling for a long time. It’s by Gordon Green, the illustrations are by Sholto Walker and it can be found here. I wouldn’t normally review books on Cuteable but this is by a man who had the idea for the book and went as far to set up his own publishing company to get it published - a drive for getting your work out there that I’m sure many crafters will recognise!

penelope.jpg

Penelope the rabbit is the work of Effunia and I think she is very cute. I like the muted colours although if you prefer stronger colours then check out the shop for bright rabbits!

dino.jpg

Now I’m sure that dinosaurs weren’t this cute and spotty when they walked the Earth like this one from Area Thrifty One!

home.jpg

I really like the sentiment behind this print from Vol 25. And as the print is an open edition you don’t have to worry about not getting one!

I love this felted handbag from Felt Sew Good - the colours are great and the pin is removable so you really get two items in one!

perfume.jpg

I love the idea of the company Bottled Up Emotions. You can basically choose which scents you like and they will blend them into a perfume for you!

hours-grow-long.jpg

I love this ‘Hours Grow Late’ necklace from Bombalurina because it takes a vintage necklace and adds to it.

tags.jpg

This gift tags by Florigander are very cute - and they are made from felt and fabric scraps so they get points for using up things that would normally go to the tip!
