Erin Elizabeth

I have a great love for teeny tiny things. Growing up on Cape Cod I spent many hours on my knees in the sand looking for the teeniest tiniest sea shells I could find. Six years ago I moved to Washington DC and discovered beads - teeny tiny shiny things! This began my love affair with beads…and I’ve always had a love affair with jewelry. And so, Erin Elizabeth Jewelry was born.

PinkPulpStudio

pinkpulpstudio actually started as a get together at a friend's house just before the hoilday season a couple years ago, where everyone brought what they had made to trade for an cheaper alternative to gift buying. After the success of that first trade we had another, and another, soon the group came together as a collective The Craft Cartel and I officially started up my pink business. I make and sell anything that comes to mind; paintings and other artwork, hand sewn accessories and other little goodies, hand printed t-shirts, knitted items and custom work, not all of which are necessarily pink but still just as cute

Nut and Bee

Born from my joint loves of adorable Japanese stationery and drawing slightly silly pictures, NUT AND BEE was founded in late 2005. I am based in Auckland, New Zealand, and stock a range of letter sets, sticker sacks and self-adhesive bookplates, with more products and designs planned for the near future. All Nut and Bee products are lovingly produced by hand in my home. My main inspirations are animals, nature and snacks, and I work towards producing a sweet and humorous feeling in my work. Please stop by my website and take a look around :)
