I love shopping handmade accessories, furniture, jewelry, everything! - but - my favorite is Handmade Fashion. I found this edgy, free-spirited Organic Cotton T in the wish list of Handmade Expert, Where The Lovely Things Are.
The Handmade T-shirt is by Etsy artisan LookForFiddleHeads and was inspired by Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham - female pioneers in the world of dance.
I find the inspiration and message of the Organic T particularly motivating. According to LookForFiddleHeads, Duncan & Graham challenged the conventional and put everything on the line in attempt to do what they love - changing the art of dance forever.

Turtle Love Committee’s brand new artisan is named Chaya Caron and she’s located in our own hometown of Portland, ME. She’s created for us a beautiful series of blossom inspired pieces made from recycled silver.
We love Chaya because she designs each piece with a personal touch and she’s focused on global awareness. Chaya’s dedicated to creating high quality, ecologically responsible jewelry with a heartfelt purpose. She is dedicated to providing beautiful, distinctive, and responsible indulgences with a greater goal - to create sustainable change worldwide! The materials she uses include recycled precious metals, fair trade gem stones and conflict-free diamonds.
Her Turtle Love Committee Blossom Series includes a small circular pendant and a large one, a small square pendant, and a large one, drop earrings, and regular earrings, and a wonderful little ring. We’ve fallen in love with their charm (I’m crazy about the Square Blossom Pendant!) and the fact that these pieces are made by an artist located just miles away from us!
Its not often I find Handmade Jewelry/Accessories for guys, so when I stumbled upon these amazing shadow trooper cufflinks, I knew I had to feature them as Wishpot’s latest Handmade Daily Pick!
These are perfect for any serious Star Wars fans!
The best part of these great cufflinks is the lego gift/display boxes they come in! No need for gift wrapping when they come in such decorative, creative boxes!

One of my favorite parts to living in a big city is the endless amount of fabulous restaurants, happy hours, and lounges that are host to cocktail nights with the girls. This dress would be the perfect piece for a night - its chic, classy, and timeless; its eye-catching but not over-the-top.
Love the dress? You can find this piece in the wish list of Handmade Expert, thevamoose.
Jewelry is part of a wardrobe I’ve never been particularly great at acquiring. Recognizing the horror of neglecting accessories - so often the key pieces that make an ensemble - I have begun to branch out and explore my options with more vigor. I love the idea of sporting handmade jewelry because I think it adds extra character, personality, and sentiment to an outfit, as well as supporting an independent designers.
I fell in love with this necklace by Higher Chakra Creations because it provides a soft, vintage feel and is extremely versatile - allowing you to wear it two different ways!
Beautiful!
