Sponsor Spotlight: Coatt’s Morse Code necklaces

Coatt

COATT  is Rebecca Coagan Scharlatt and she came up with this brilliant idea to design necklaces based on the idea of the morse code!  Using gold beads as dots and slashes, you can choose among a few pre-made sayings, such as lovemom, and SOS, or you can choose a personalized necklace with your choice of word or name or  your own secret message around your neck…I really LOVE this idea!!

At the moment Rececca also offers this great giveaway at her shop…WIN a personalized Morse Coded Necklace …one winner will be selected every week through the end of the year! For more details click here

 

Sponsor Spotlight: Domestica

Domestica

Domestica is a real brick and mortar shop in Des Moines, USA  and some of the unique things you can buy there are also available in their online shop. Chrissy is the founder and she is always on the look for good quality handmade or cottage industry craftsmanship items. The pieces also need to be kind to the environment, kind to the artist and kind to your pocketbook she says. Some of the things I really liked are the Doily Clocks and the Holiday Season products.

Yes, I told you yesterday my Christmas mood has started! And while I'm working on some collages form Christmas trees I received in my inbox today I would like to share these super cute plates by Shinzi Katoh with you available at Garin's shop, Ginko Papers. I believe many of you also have the tradition of Christmas Stockings and Fillings (sorry wasn't brought up with this) but Ginko Papers is I believe an excellent shop to find the perfect Fillings, like lovely erasers, stickers and a huge colle tapes… Have fun!

Please welcome my new sponsor the Naked Squirrel.  Founder, creator and artist Marlo has been creating things on and off throughout her life.  I believe it's the first time I have read about a theme for an  etsy shop collection but I love Marlo's one:  'blooming love'…. and what I like evenbetter is her choice for materials and colors…linen and greys….the whole collection looks warm, friendly and precious. Enjoy browsing around at the Naked Squirrel.

Inaluxe

I believe it was Joelle who first introduced me to the wonderful work of Australian based company inaluxe…in 2006 Kristina Sostarko started inaluxe out of passion for art and in May 2010 long-time friend, Jason Odd, joined inaluxe. Both are former art students and their philosophy for work and life is: 'make it beautiful, use the best materials possible, and be responsible and sustainable in production practice' … nice i think! Go here for shopping and here for seeing their inspirations

Sponsor Spotlight: Dolan Geiman

Dolangeiman

Let's start with art this week…

Art coming from one of Bloesem's sponsors: Dolan Geiman. A mixed media artist creating original paintings, collages, constructions, and limited-edition reproductions. My favorites are the rescued wood pieces like the ones above and below in the images.  By using only salvaged wood, found objects, and other recycled materials Dolan's work instantly gives you a warm, honest and strong feel.
