The Find: flapped clutch in slate with houndstooth building pattern.

About Bungaloe: ..."My mother went to fashion school when I was a baby and she has always sewn since then, so I have been sewing since I was 3. I picked it up again and organically moved towards bags. There is just something about making and having a handbag, it's a little package, a project, a vessel, an organizer, a sculpture. I hope that when people see my bags they are fascinated and pleased by the design of them. I like to keep my designs modern, simple, but with a little sprinkle of complication. there is usually one focal point to the bag and the other elements are there in subtle support. I try to keep them as eco as I can: recycled leather, non-pvc biodegradable faux leather and organic cotton linings.

I like making them, I also like sunsets on the beach and apple pie."...

Obviously, I didn't get there, so that's how I got my first shop opened (vintagetrading). I decided last year that it would be so much fun to create unique and elegant masquerade masks, like they used to wear in the 1500's. I love creating, and if I could, I'd do this full time. Hopefully our economy will skyrocket, and everyone will feel the need to buy a masquerade mask, and then I can retire or just quit my day job. ;)"

I've been working on some orders. This is the only completed one so far, so I'll post others later this week. :)

My tooth broke and I am so scared to go to the dentist. I have already had some really graphic nightmares including long needles and breaking of jaws. :/

I realize this idea was not unique to me, as many people were suggesting how to keep a crinkle-crazed baby entertained.

This is what lead me to start doing artwork on a more professional level, sure I didn’t have a degree but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the skill to make my goals reality"...

The Find: Great Horned Owl Handmade Leather Mask.

About Blurturtle: ..."I realized that my skills are strong and I should try and make them work for me, at this point I stumbled across Etsy and found a shop that spoke to me. Merimask was that shop. While I do a lot of paintings and drawings, I discovered the wonderful art of leatherworking. Merimask’s shop just inspired me to start creating masks and learning how to make interesting work that people can wear. This is why I have a large amount of masks with my 2 dimensional works"...

The Find: Original Abstract Watercolor.

About Blurturtle: ..."Aside from my artwork, I am currently a student at my local community college receiving training in the culinary arts. I am also engaged to a very supportive man, whom I have been with since high school. And last, I love to listen to the most awesome music of Electric Six. Dick Valentine knows how to bring the rock =D"

The Find: The Lifesaver - Cat Collar.

About Jenniebgoode: "I am a born and raised Canadian girl who now lives in South carolina with my wonderful husband and Miss Sophia the Bulldog. Miss Sophia is my pride and joy and the ultimate diva.I was constantly on the look out for fun and unique collars to match her personality. The more I looked the more I realized there really weren't a lot of options so I decided to make my own. Sophia draws a lot of attention while out in the public and people started to ask where I got her collars and that is where Jennie B. Goode Collars started. I truly enjoy making the collars and as you can tell from the product photos Miss Sophia loves modeling them too."

The Find: Candy Apples - Dog Bed.
