Found - Color Collective

When you're ready to get creative, do you ever need a little push in the right direction, color-wise? If you're a maker of any sort, you may get stuck when it comes to your color palette now and then. Color Collective to the rescue! This fabulous blog has put together such an amazing selection of inspiring images! And not only are there oodles of lovely visuals, but graphic designer Lauren Willhite also pulls the color palette of each image and sums it up nicely below each photo. After stumbling upon Color Collective via Kiki & Polly, I have to say, this is going to be a regular haunt for me from now on!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Found - 2mountains

There are only a few lovely hand-painted brooches in 2mountain's new Etsy shop, but I see some serious potential! I came across  Katia Carletti's wondrous creations via my Etsy Activity Feed (which I kinda love, by the way) this afternoon while I was taking a break from my big move. No, I haven't literally moved, but I have bargained with my lovely boyfriend to let me use our extra bedroom for my office! I'm so excited to have my own little workshop for all my musings!

It's been a busy two days, moving things around, and before that, Christmas (and after that - the huge snow storm!) but I'm now back in the swing of things for the new year!  I can't wait to show you all the fun things in store for Fey Handmade! Wait til you see :) :)

Check out 2mountain's Etsy shop to see more pretty little hand-painted brooches.

So, so, so much chaos has ensued in my little part of the world - good chaos of course though! I shouldn't even be blogging right now, but I just got a message from Caitlin over at Feather and Webb about my lil calendar being featured in her latest post... and let me tell you... I am in love! I had to share this gorgeously curated site!

Christmas Postcarden on Feather and Webb

I could get lost in all these amazing posts! But, I actually have to go get lost in all the packing material for the ridiculous amount of orders that keep coming in! It's turning into Santa's workshop over here real fast! Thank you to all of you who are supporting independent designers!! Here we go handmade holiday season! woo!!! 

(And here we go giant caffeinated tea!)

Go check out Feather and Webb for lots and lots more inspiration! Hope you're all having a fabulous week :)

I may need to make a cake..

Oh lordy! This is adorable!! I just found this on Etsy and had to share! It's Cake Bunting from Kiki La Ru!
This cute decoration is available in so many different patterns - such a clever idea!

In love with Kiki La Ru!

Emma Walsh Design

Recently, I got a message from a lovely little lady about the most delicate and whimsical designs I have seen in a while. Emma Walsh Design is all about soft, elegant accessories, and her photos are just dreamy! 

Emma has been studying architecture for the past four years and interior design for the last year. She makes all sorts of things from homewares to bridal accessories and jewellery crafted from materials found in vintage stores, combining them with new elements. She says she loves that she can bring these pre loved bits of beauty - things with a story behind them - into the 21st century with a new life in the form of elegant, feminine designs that demand attention. I think her designs definitely translate well into the here and now! Dainty, nostalgic... everything I dream about! And it is so obvious that this is a natural born creative! So glad to have found her :)

Go get lost over at Emma's pretty, pretty blog and shop 

Found/Spaces + Places - enhabiten - (and a little obsessed already I might add)

Just relaxing away my Sunday afternoon when I get a little ping from my email telling me that the Etsy newsletter has arrived. I usually make it a habit to at least check out all the pretty finds in case there is some treasure I absolutely can't live without (which happens all too often!) and today, I was so pleasantly surprised by my discovery. They based their Get the Look on Liane Tyrell's beautiful farmhouse in New Hampshire. I am in love! This is the epitome of everything I've ever wanted in a house (and lately, apartment living has been getting me down - I am in desperate need of a porch!) I meandered over to Liane's flickr and found even more pretty, pretty photos. Ah! I'm in fantasy land!

I just love the light! And the simplicity! It looks so relaxing :) Go check out all of Liane's lovely creations over at her Etsy shop as well. You won't be disappointed!

Found - Love and Lemonade

I just found something fun!! Wait til you see all the pretty prettiness there is over at Love and Lemonade! Nina is a Southern California based photographer that has an amazing talent for shooting all sorts of subjects from children, to couples, to nature and so much more! I am getting lost in her blog! And all I really meant to find was a good recipe for lemonade! (Not kidding.. you know it's too early for this post haha)

You should also check out her pretty little Etsy shop if you're looking for some prints of gorgeous photos!

Love and Lemonade

Rifle Paper Company

Found via Oh Joy!, this paper design company blows me away! Such simplicity, but also very clever and feminine. They offer note cards for holidays, as well as birthday cards and thank you notes. I've got my eye on those calling cards and recipe box cards! How perfect! Check out everything over at Rifle Paper Co., for some lovely stationery.

Ayofemi Jewelry

I love the modern take on Ayofemi's friendship bracelets; they are so simple and elegant. I really love the rest of her collection as well! :) Enjoy!

Le Petit Rococo

Oh how I love this very pretty, hand-embroidered bag from Le Petit Rococo's shop! :) It is evident by all of the detail that a lot of time & effort went into creating such a lovely bag! Very appropriate for spring & summer!

Dollybird Design

I love all of these natural creations by Dollybird Design. As a child, I collected rocks & minerals; I had such a passion for natural elements, as I still do today. Gorgeous!

snowpocalypse

Oh dear. If you have been watching the news, then you are aware of the enormous blizzard that has basically engulfed the upper East coast. Unfortunately, for me, and I'm going to assume Christine, since she is located in New Jersey, we are buried under what appears to be 4,345 feet of snow. It is truly insane! The roads are horrid and it's scary when to drive when you have an old clunker like I do! I've been shoveling the snow until my arms feel like piles of Jell-O, my hair becomes a giant rat's nest, and all I can think about is the beach and the warmth of the sun. The sun? What is that?! I haven't seen the sun in quite some time! And! And! And! Tonight, my evening classes were canceled because...guess what? 10 more inches of snow! I hope this ends soon!

Above, I will leave you, dear readers, with a few stunning pieces from Project Runway's Janeane Marie, in hopes that her intricately beautiful creations will remind you of a warmer season!
