Kindred Knits - Knits & Paper Goods

The second goody from jessicajane's giveaway that I would like to feature was donated by kindredknits. Her shop features colorful hand knitted items as well as some great printed note cards.

The item I received was one of these awesome acorn note cards. The color and the detail are great! I'm more tempted to frame it and put it on my desk than to actually use it as a note card ;) You can also buy a similar acorn design as a larger print.



Kindredknits, as the name implies, also has some great knitted items in her shop. Everything from hats, to mittens, to scarves and shawls. This particular scarf caught my eye. I love the bright pink and orange and the mohair looks so soft. The loose lacy stitch also makes this such an elegant accessory.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another of the giveaway goodies that I won :D

Sandy's Sundries - Crochet, Knitting, & Painting

This post is a little late today. I've been swamped today with classes and homework. I'm taking a much needed break to bring you today's store.I met Sandy on the Daily BnR thread. She's a very talented crocheter, knitter, and painter. The items I'm featuring are just a couple of the many treasures you will find in her shop. Check out sandyssundries for more!

Today's first item was chosen because of my obsession with all things marine. Sandy also loves ocean life so when she started crocheting jellies I just had to have one. I own the first one ever made and it's keeping me company sitting on my "inbox." Sandy's Portuguese Man-O-War looks very realistic and I was honored when I was summoned for advise :) Be sure to check out more of her jellies! They come in all shapes and sizes.This second item was posted just in time for Halloween. I love the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sandy has painted some salt and pepper shakers to look like Jack Skellington! You might want to snatch these up quickly - she's already sold one set ;)

Be sure to check out the rest of Sandy's shop for great fingerless gloves, belts, jewelry and more!
