- Raven + Lily journals – Handmade of recycled cotton by artisans in Northern India.
2. Schoolhouse Electric’s “Want Better Not More” print – This print is handmade via a woodblock printing process by graphic artist, print-maker and designer Anthony Burrill.
3. Pact Apparel socks (I can’t get enough.) – Handmade of organic cotton by artisans in a sweatshop-free and child-labor-free factory.

5. Ten Thousand Villages’ Seed Pod Ornaments – So cute! I have a handful of seed pod birds that I love, but was excited to find ornament versions, with new animals.
6. Drawing supplies from my new favorite Andersonville shop: Martha Mae
