Belle & Burger and Blue Mama Crafts

These are two crafty gals I've had the pleasure of connecting with recently, and I wanted to make sure to share their crafty goodness with you! They are Chasity of Belle & Burger and Jen of Blue Mama. The things they make are so lovely and delightful, it's obvious how much sheer joy they get from making things and sharing them. But my very favorite thing about them is that they are both so, so wonderfully sweet and genuinely kind, open ladies.

They both have great crafty blogs - Belle & Burger and Mama Sings The Blues. I got to see them at Maker Faire and also last week at the farmer's market (the Sunset Valley one off 290 in Austin), where they have a very fun booth together. Blue Mama is also on etsy.

customer appreciation and sister appreciation

I wanted to share this from an etsy customer who used one of my mail art kits in a unique way - to create an art drawer! She's going to hang it on the wall. I love the use of collage in transforming a "useful" every day object, and it's so interesting to see familiar ephemera and artistamps in a different context.

Patti has a blog about buying and selling online and an etsy shop of vintage postcards.



I just have one sister. Wasn't she the cutest little thing when she was small? On the right is closer to present day, all grown up! She lives a very different life than I and it's a pretty interesting one.
Here is her blog.
