Etsy: Emma Lamb

Let’s do some virtual shopping now, shall we? I’m taking you now to Edinburgh, UK to visit a lovely shop full of handmade crocheted, knitted, embroidered vintage accessories, such as granny rugs, cushions, pincushions, garlands and more! Oh, please meet the owner of this sweet shop, Emma Lamb! She’s an avid lover of two things: vintage & retro style and crochet, knit, embroidery, so she had the fabulous idea of combining her passions and now she’s doing what she likes the most and selling them or better said sharing them with the other people. Besides her shop, Emma can be found on her blog, Flickr and Pinterest. Speaking of Pinterest: when preparing my pinboard about what home means to me (remember that I’m a part of Pin it forward, right?) I could fill my board only with the cozy items from Emma’s shop, they look so comfortable and so home-y! Now let’s take a look at the beautiful items from Emma’s shop:

Serbian Made: Nina Mihajlovic

Hi, everyone! Happy Monday! Last Monday I was totally absent, without posting all day (we all know why), but here I am now, on a rainy Serbian Monday with another Serbian craftsperson.  This time is somebody very VERY special – my mother-in-law, Nina! Not only she’s a wonderful person, she is also an avid lover of embroidery. She’s doing this every single minute of her free time! Every single! I’ve never seen before a person loving so much a hobby. Her collection is very impressive, she’s embroidering monogrammed letters, pillow cases, kitchen towels, wall art and even a wedding dress (a lovely white wedding dress, with black and silver embroidery she worked on for an exhibition).  I could speak about her works forever, instead please visit her site, NinaMihajlovic.com, to see all her collection, now please take a look at what I highlighted for this post:
