I can't wait to see Things Unseen in person and browse through her amazing steampunk trinkets.  The bees, dragonflies and watch piece items look beautiful in the pictures and I imagine they would love even better in person!

I'm looking forward at all the fabulous designs, but especially Melina Martin, as she brings great art into my every day task of being in the kitchen and looking after my family. Surrounding myself with these awesome tea towels lifts my spirit in the dreaded task of doing the dishes. Thanks for that.

Fat Spatula definitely because I adore the idea of hand made journals but it is almost impossible to just choose one. What a gob-smacking array of talent. Wow
