things I have my eye on lately

I feel like I have been doing a lot of shopping lately. Not necessarily finding the things I am looking for...but coming across some beautifully handcrafted items as well as some great mass market retail deals.

Below is a random sampling of things I have had my eye on lately...

I love the colors of this hand stitched quilted pillow by EB Quilts. Working out of her Cincinnati studio, Elizabeth Bruemmer makes handmade quilts, pillows and wallhangings using naturally dyed and repurposed fabrics. Check out her website for more examples of her work.

Not in the least bit handcrafted but still quite nice are these chairs from Pier 1. I haven't seen them in person but they are on clearance for $119.98/chair which is a steal for a nicely detailed, upholstered dining room chair.

Collin Garrity is a local Saint Louis woodworker making objects for the home, office and personal accessory. I just love a talented local find! His work is available for purchase and viewing on his website or on his Etsy shop.

Another steal of a deal are these director chairs from World Market. I love directors chairs and the price is definitely right at $129.98 for 2! I might have to go and pick up a set (or two) for our porch....just have to decide whether to go with the white or the stripe.

Holli Zollinger is a Utah based artist and fabric designer. Her work is available at Spoonflower, Society 6, Urban Outfitters and probably a quite a few other places. She has so many amazing patterns so make sure to check out her huge select on Spoonflower. Also don't miss her few cool art prints on Society 6 as well.
