Craft Party is a global celebration of meeting and making. It’s a time to get to know your neighbors and exercise your creative spirit. Craft Parties take place around the world when communities come together to participate in art, craft, design and DIY in every form. Anyone can organize a Craft Party and anyone can participate — the power is literally in your hands!This year’s theme is Wish You Were Here. We encourage you to work together on projects that reflect your hometown. Think about local and regional crafts, music, style and food; ways to pay tribute to a notable landmark or place; an activity that tells local lore through handmade means; or any creative project that has local flavor. It’s up to you to decide how you showcase the theme at your party — go wild!
Green Tupperware pendant lamp — from BootsnGus on Etsy
I have this Tupperware set and couldn’t bear to part with it to make it into a lamp, but this lovely lamp is beautiful! If I find another Jell-O mold at my local thrift store that I don’t mind passing up on Jell-O creations, then this just might have to happen in our kitchen.
Everything you really loved about library cards (or I loved, at least) is now attainable — blank library cards for your writing/doodling pleasure without smeared late notices. I need to make a list of all the awesome things I’ll write on these.
Assorted Library Cards from Knot And Bow - Brooklyn. On Etsy.
Shelter, an art/design/craft collective, makes handcrafted bags that make you wish it were summer forever - a Virgin Suicides summer (without the crazy parents and suicide, of course). I’m thinking more whimsical earthy 70s.
Spring Garden Confetti
I’m not a gardener, but these are awesome. I’m decorating for a wedding at the end of the month and wish I knew how to make these myself - they’d make awesome party favors! Time to do some internet searching (simply can’t pay $12 pp). Suggestions?
Spring Garden Confetti - Multicolored seed balls that make gardening a breeze. Just toss and go! From PoFu on Etsy.

Heart in a Jar
love, california
love, california makes these gorgeous state pillows in a thick wool felt, firmly stuffed — Thomas and I just bought a Georgia one for a friend’s engagement gift. So beautiful, now I want one for myself!
I sifted through 18 pages of sold orders to try to find a picture of the GA pillow, to no avail. But, I will say it looks an awful lot like Missouri. I bought the pillow at a local boutique handmade store, Young Blood, so maybe love, california cleaned house by sending them all there?
Goosebumps Soap
There are a million people on Etsy selling soap, and normally no matter how good I ignore it, but this soap reminds me of Goosebumps so I couldn’t pass it by. Remember the bumpy letters on the cover?
Fortune Cookie Crayons
Upcycled crayon wax shaped into these cute little fortune cookies! I almost think they’re better for most hands, as they’re less likely to break than tiny sticks (yes, I’m an aggressive colorer). I think they’re too pretty to use.
