Saturdays At Shop This

 

As a blogger, I see a good deal of photos over the course of a week. The above image is my favorite of all of them. My hope is that the parents of this precious child, explained to her, that because of RBG, she can be anything that she can dream about. Here are some links that I didn't have time to share with you earlier.

How to Be a (Very) Hot 74 year old. What? A great podcast with Norma Kamali. And even if you don't like podcasts, you can read about her beauty and health regimes on

The weather is getting cooler quickly after this weekend, in my part of the world. So I couldn't resist this stylish PPE set from Sanctuary Clothing. It's a fashion matching moment. The knit gloves have an antibacterial finish and are washable and reusable.

Home Decor: The Tia Mowry x Etsy Collection

This week, Etsy introduced Tia Mowry-Hardrict’s new luxe-yet-minimal Etsy collaboration. Along with nine makers, this award-winning actress, and mother of two, co-designed products that will help you create a one-of-a-kind oasis at home. Today I present the collection and more fun finds from the shops of 
Tia's collaborators.

Creative clay jars are wonderful alone or even better in groups of three. The leather loop handle adds texture and whimsy.

Each cover is custom made just for you. The white tassels are so fun. The collection is really quite modern with some designer fabrics.

Serve up a cocktail on these cool coasters done in rose gold, grey, and white. Loving the pops of metallic texture on the natural elements. 
Perfectly priced for gifting.

More To Love From The 
Etsy Collaborators

Chloe and Olive Pillows
This shop offers designer throw pillow covers and matching dog bed covers. And why shouldn't your best friend's bed match your home decor?

Tagliaferro Ceramics
Dawn Kilinger, Shop owner, describes her work as "perfectly imperfect, modern, organic tableware." And that is what I love about it. The organic shapes are unique, with a modern farm house vibe. I want the charcoal dinner plates! The charcuterie platter with matching appetizer plates is really wonderful.

Chelsea Candle Co.
This shop from Kent, England, creates high quality, scandi-inspired minimal large and mini candles, diffusers and room sprays. All of their packaging is recycled and ethically sourced. I can almost smell the fabulous fragrances. Think, sea salt and wood sage, coconut, organic lavender, earl grey tea and lemon, and many more 
organic scents. 

Keephouse Studio
This collection of organic kitchen and table linens is created by Alissa Kloet. She is inspired by the images and shapes gathered on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean where she lives. Alissa Kloet's work is all  hand screened from her original drawings. All of the five star reviews tells us why Allisa was selected to be part of this collaboration. 

Coastal Craftwork
A collection of simple but useful bowls, baskets, bags, and home decor made from handcrafted rope. No two are the same. The color blocking is quite striking.

Dee Beale
Simple designs make a big modern statement with pops of color here and there. Dee Beale is the designer and print maker. She creates her affordable works of art in her small studio in High Peak, United Kingdom.
