There’s some lovely stuff over at Flaming Tatertots. All of the crafty items, including coasters, tooth fairy pillows, glasses cases, bags and headbands have been handcrafted by Faith Bri.

The Flower Buttons Headband is very pretty. It’s made from yellow floral fabric and decorated with vintage buttons. I fear that I’m a little old to get away with this but it would look great on teens and ‘twenteens’.

And the Tooth Fairy Pillow is very cute, decorated with fairies, moons and stars, with its very own felt tooth. A really lovely gift idea.

Oh, and don’t miss the Zines section!

I have to say that I’m in awe of Hannah Kopacz from Made with Love by Hannah. Her fun and sassy handcrafted clothing is just beautiful. In fact it’s taken me 30 minutes just to decide which garments to feature in this post.

My final choices, as you can see, are the charming Edelweiss and Distlefink skirts. The Heidi style Edelweiss Skirt is made from a heavyweight fabric with woven woolly yarns and decorated with woven ribbon, embroidered ric rac, criss-cross yarn and jumbo red heart buttons. The Distelfink Skirt has been hand screen printed with smooching birds surrounded by a printed decorative stitching design and ending with a flirty flounce.

The design detail in all of Hannah’s garments is so intricate that the clothes themselves are almost like pieces of art. And the prices are very reasonable, given the amount of work that has gone into each item - just $56 (around £29.50) for Edelweiss and $62 (around £33) for Distelfink. Take a look for yourself at www.madewithlovebyhannah.com. Oh, and while you’re there, don’t miss the ‘Made with Love by Grandma’ section, full of quirky potholders, purses, bonnets and accessories.

With the current 60s trend for prints and stripes, Zaum Lab makes a welcome change. Everything about it - the products, the brand, even the name is clean and fresh to the point of being almost clinical. I’m not a fan of fussy bags and accessories and so the Zaum range appeals with its bold colours and stylish shapes.

I’d love one of the Bruna bags (shown top) in white and kelly green vinyl. The understated, elegant exterior disguises a funky interior fabric. But my absolute favourite is the Tetra Piccola from the Minis collection. It’s made from chocolate brown vinyl with a sunset stripes cotton interior, which is also displayed on the bottom. The minis can be used as make-up bags, pencil cases or as nifty pouches for loose bits and bobs.

The prices are very reasonable at $100 for the Bruna bags (around £53) and only $20 (around £11) for the Tetra Piccola. And if you’re feeling a bit strapped for cash check out their Scratches and Bruised section.

I came across these quirky resin pendants by Canadian company, 2mile Jewelry. Each pendant is one-of-a-kind and made from a variety of materials including miniature glass tiles, Japanese papers, text fragments and original illustrations. Owner/maker Viki Ackland describes them as a ‘fusion of pop art and the subliminal’.

There are a number of styles to choose from including Girls Galore which features everything from iconic actresses to saucy girly pics, Funky Flowers featuring bold, vibrant florals and Accessories, created from funky fashionista prints.

Each pendant comes with a choice of a wire or leather strap and for only $20 (CAD) which is around £9.50, they’re a real bargain. Take a look at the full range at www.2-mile.com.
