My favorite item is the Chloe bracelet. Thanks for the great contest!
I love handcrafted items but am easily overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff available on sites like Etsy. It's fun to peruse all of the goodies for sale but I have lost countless hours clicking through so-so shops looking for something specific. It's easy to get fed up. The Pear Project is an online boutique featuring artisan goods that have been pared down (pun totally intended!) to the best and the brightest. Brooke Fuller's mission is to incorporate artisan goods into everyday life. She founded The Pear Project to showcase her own artwork, like the Car in Blue manipulated Polaroid SX-70 print below, and that of other artisans.
My favorite items at The Pear Project are the letterpress coasters by Minneapolis artist Krista Stout. I don't really use coasters at home much but these would look fabulous framed or nestled in a shadowbox, too! The Drinking Girls set is especially great:
The Pear Project also has a great selection of handmade jewelry, all at very reasonable prices, ranging from $6 to $85. I really like the Fotini Designs pieces, which have a very classical style reminiscent of long-lost treasures. The Abbey necklace looks like it could have been snatched from the Little Mermaid's jewelry box…
To enter and win a Kbags Reusable Grocery tote by Karen Parrish (a $32 value) filled with other handcrafted goodies, including Sara Sacks' adorable koi fish chiyogami Scrabble tile necklace (an $18 value) pictured below, a fine art print of Car in Blue by Brooke Fuller pictured above (an $18 value) and a packet of coupons from independent artisans, please comment on this post with your favorite item from The Pear Project.
Entries will be accepted through October 15th and I'll pick the winner using Random.org. US readers are eligible. Only one entry/comment per person, please.

I have to say first that I think I like the clever name of this post! You never cease to make m laugh. This featured site has several items that I fell for right aay. I thin my fave is the Chandra Earrings. They are simple yet pretty and the perfect accessory for Fall.
ReplyDeleteI am also a new subscriber.
ReplyDeleteThe train art is nice!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool site, especially because like you wrote, it's hard to find some nice stuff on Etsy after having to sort through a lot of well-intentioned but not necessarily well-made material.

Just fell in love with that sweet little hedgehog on the coasters. Don't see hedgehogs much here in Pennsylvania but when I lived in Scotland even in the city where I lived in Glasgow you couldn't hardly enter a green space without encountering a hedgehog. They are quite friendly and unless threatened by a dog or a cat will not run when encountering a human. Little buggers are always open for a treat such as a piece of meat as they are carnivores. But they are nice people.
