Feeling the Love

West Elm, the modern furniture and decor company has teamed up with Etsy to feature some of their favorite Etsy sellers in this Springs catalog. And lookie there: they choose to feature a Reiter8 upcycled sail tote! The tote didn't make the Spring catalog, but has made their website (pictured above) and is listed as a favorite on West Elm's Etsy profile.

More about the collaboration on West Elms website under the 'We Love' tab.

The tote featured is available in my shop on Etsy.

A few of my favorites who are also featured:

If you are so inclined check out the once a month AT meet-up offline in NYC. I have been- nice group and an interesting line up of ever changing presenters.

Dear Kelly and Shayne,

I love your letters. It's really sweet to follow your entries writing back and forth to each other about new craft finds. What a great structure for your blog, trans-craft-inental. Kelly and Shayne are friends (one on the East coast and one on the West) with a love for craft in common and they post in turn.

Just about everyday (no kidding) I think of a letter I should write: a thank you note, a little hello. But do I? In a word: no. Well, let's give a girl some room: not yet. So this inspires the letter writer and the craftster in me. (AND my totes were lucky enough to be featured as the Object of Lust here. )

They are members of the Letter Writers Alliance. This place is packed with lots of letter writing, stationary, stamp and postal info: how tos and tutorials, postal goodies, and even personalized stationary for members! Hmmm, maybe I WILL get around to writing that letter today....maybe.
