Etsy Find: "Evalicious"

I'm a scrapbooker at heart, although I don't have much time for it anymore... So I just adore this instant scrapbook by "Evalicious" entitled "Love Scenic Route"... The album is one-of-a-kind and the captions are typed on on Eve's vintage typewriter! Fabulous! And don't miss Eve's blog!

"I've fallen in love many times, always with you."

Etsy Feature: "knittles"

Despite the VERY warm Thanksgiving weekend, I've been thinking about the impending cold... And what better way to prepare for the cool then cold weather than snuggling up in some handmade knits? The work of "Knittles" of Calgary, Alberta is colourful, beautiful, and classy... I guess if we have to survive winter here in the North, we might as well do it in style!

Etsy Feature: "Quilt Lover"

Nothing says fall to me more than putting the flannel sheets on our bed... And nothing seems cozier than a lovely quilt... I was inspired by the beautiful creations of "Quilt Lover" from Big River, Saskatchewan... Her creations are stunning and full of beautiful autumn inspired colours... So grab a hot chocolate, settle in... And dream of wrapping yourself up in a beautiful quilt!

I'm always on the hunt for beautiful cards... And this morning I stumbled across the Etsy shop of "Renee Anne" from Muskoka (a lovely place to visit if you've never been!) Renee's artwork is stunning and she has a new assortment of Holiday cards... I just adore her "Christmas Cross and Manger" card! Visit her shop and her blog!

It's October 1st, and it feels like fall... The leaves are changing and the weather is cool... And I think these fall inspired leather creations of "Holly Hawk" are stunning... Located in Victoria, BC, Holly designs and hand-makes all of her incredible pieces... Check out her shop and blog!
