handmade charlotte for anthropologie...

so excited to share this gorgeous new collection from handmade charlotte...  designed and handmade by the lovely rachel faucett, exclusively for anthropologie!  (you may remember this lovely handmade charlotte giveaway i was fortunate enough to host a few years ago)


each heirloom piece is both timeless and magical.  the perfect holiday ware for your little ones, ready to be passed down through the years, from child to child, family member to family member, and friend to friend

the little plume coat, complete with a hand stitched peacock, is just too wonderful! really wishing this came in my size ;)

 

 and how unbelievably sweet are these wee love letter bloomers...

be sure to visit handmade charlotte's facebook and twitter, for the latest updates and awesome design finds

chinny chin chin....

pillowcase romper

i just wish i could pull off looking as absolutely cool as these kids!  

using repurposed and vintage fabrics to create these stunning designs, esther croak of chinny chin chin, has me absolutely entranced... wish they came in my size

knickers

seersucker highwaisted pants

a few words from esther about her work:

"chinny chin chin is my line of original progressive children's clothing. i believe in the merit of working with repurposed and vintage fabric as a way of being gentler on the earth's resources. cutting patterns from quality, repurposed garments or linen infuses the clothing with meaningful layers of existence."

dress shirt with bow tie

vintage fabric necktie

and, it looks as if sewing patterns will soon be made available in her shop... can't wait

trouser shorts

a time gone by...

little olive linen jacket

how excited i was to happen upon this new etsy seller, threadwren

using sustainable and recycled materials, liza's designs evoke a time gone by... a vintage simplicity.  clean lines, nature inspired colors, sumptuous textures and patterns

(i really just want to live in the world she has created through her pictures!)

upcycled laundry sack sunshine

although new to etsy, liza has been designing and selling her children's clothing locally for several years in maine.  she also runs a local shop, with friend and business partner, longwinterfarm (another wonderful seller of all natural soaps and beauty products)

Here is my new treasury, titled "gentle for the young...or young at heart"

All of these lovely items were picked from my existing favorites list on etsy. I love how wonderful they all look showcased together! I must be naturally drawn to these similar soft, gentle colors and sweet images
