rena just reminded me about this great company fetaured in blueprint (which i hear has lost an editor or two and isn’t doing well…). wren handmade is run by brooklyn based artist laura normandin (who lives in my neighborhood!)- normandin designs gorgeous handmade pillows, hairpins and accessories that are perfect for adding a nice handmade touch to your home. normandin has been the craft editor at martha stewart living for 8 years, so you know she knows her stuff. you can click here for more info on wren handmade and laura normandin. [hooray for fantastic local artists!]
