Pravina

The spring collection from Pravina studio was just released, and it's looking mighty fine!
Their bags are chic and classic, from pretty pleated purses to large and in charge totes with contrast stitching. Available in beautiful shades that'll take you from spring into summer, they're pretty perfect for the warmer days ahead. See the whole collection in the Pravina shop!

Modish Loves: Oishii

Brittni over at Paper n Stitch let me know about some new participants in this month's exhibition, and I instantly fell hard for Oishii's gorgeous knit caplets! They're feminine and so pretty with a kinda vintage feel- the perfect extra layer to add a burst of color to your outfit while keeping you warm on a crisp spring morning. Totally love them.

Udessi

Have you seen Udessi yet? I've been browsing through all morning and it's gorgeous, I can't get enough!

Host to art and craft items made by some phenomenal Australian talents, Udessi has a wonderful collection, all of which is photographed and styled to perfection. It's run by Kim Wallace, a fantastic ceramacist who also sells her work there (that's her gorgeous vintage lace dish in the upper left!) The entire shop is a real treat for the eyes and I'm thrilled to see another option that focuses on Australian art and artists.

Terry Graziano

Now that spring is in full effect here in Portland, I've been feeling the lure of a cute spring hat, as knit beanies won't be cuttin' it for much longer. Lucky for me, I just stumbled onto Terry Graziano's new spring/summer line and it's totally rockin' my socks off!

Not only are all the hats adoooorable, they are super versatile too! Each design is so ingenious that you can wear it in at least 3 different ways- go from fedora to cloche, beret to sailor cap! No matter what style you choose, you're sure to be looking chic and ready for whatever the warm days and crisp nights of spring will bring. Now, which one will go with my big hair... hmm...

Moop Sale & Five Yards

Moop is having a seconds sale on some of their bags, yahoo! You can get awesome discounts on your favorites that are discontinued styles or colors or have tiny flaws- check it out in their supermarket shop!

And while you're in the Moop mood, you crafters may be interested in their new shop, Five Yards, where they're offering 5 yard cuts of their overstock fabric. Most of the fabric has been upcycled from wholesale fabric jobbers who collect overruns directly from textile mills. The Moop folks want to be able to offer the same awesome fabric they use in thier bags to other talented makers who may not have access to fabric/textile districts like they do. Nice, huh?

Modish Loves: Siiso

I love love this beautiful blossom series of watercolor pieces by Canadian art shop, Siiso. They're so dynamic and layered with so much awesome color. They remind me of the spring scenes we have popping up here in Portland where it seems we have an (almost) unfair amount of stunning color, bursting forth all around us.

Handmade Spaces: Stephanie Levy

Today's Handmade Space is from Munich based artist, Stephanie Levy. We've seen a peek into her studio before, from about a year ago, but these photos are much different, basically just showing her work table in various stages of creation. It's messy and colorful and wonderful and I think it's a privilege to get a little behind the scenes glimpse into how she creates her art- so, let's get to it!

See Stephanie's beautiful completed artwork in her etsy shop, and also be sure to check out her artists who blog site where she features interviews with some other great artists.

And as always, see more beautiful glimpes into creative people's creative places, in the Handmade Spaces flickr pool!
