Sponsor giveaway: Tsai-Fi
Posted by Amy on Wednesday March 31, 2010
This week’s giveaway of an illustrated Smashed at Sea necklace comes from Tsai-Fi (pronounced sci-fi), a shop that’s stocked with kawaii-based original illustrations and handmade items. Never did it cross my mind that mermaids were the ones having the most fun – I thought dolphins were the only ones rocking the ocean! Also of note are the custom tattoos that others have commissioned from her – see more on Tsai-Fi’s blog.
One lucky winner will be chosen; comment by 6th April to be in the running!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Karlaane.

Boygirlparty's new necklaces
Posted by Amy on Friday August 7, 2009
Susie of Boygirlparty recently launched her latest collection of necklaces in collaboration with Chocolate & Steel. Each sterling silver necklace features an illustrated drop down pendant of animals: a deer, birds, a whale, and more. They are each available only in an edition of 100. My pick from the collection is the snowy owls necklace – perfect if you’re hunting for that perfect gift for your girly half.
They’re all available in Susie’s shop, and if you purchase USD$75 and above, she’ll ship it free for you.

Pin Pals
Posted by Amy on Tuesday January 6, 2009
Samantha Purdy and Sara Guindon run not one, but two etsy shops between them. Sam works with vintage textiles and cross stitches her own designs on to handmade brooches and earrings. Sara is an illustrator and designs paper toys and T-shirts. One of their shops, Pin Pals has this wonderful flip book, a concept which I love — in addition to screenprinted tees and totes!
Their other shop MaudStitch specializes in cross-stitch jewelry including pins, earrings, pendants and buttons — like the one you see here. Read more about the two at their blog!
