{So remember when we said we met a bunch of amazing people at Alt Summit. Well, we weren't kidding! There are so many amazing writers out there, and we are very excited to have our new friend Alyssa from Welikewelove come and hang out with us today! - Thanks Alyssa}
Hello! First let me introduce myself, my name is Alyssa and I'm a graphic designer from Canada { www.welikewelove.com }. I love sharing things that I find with other people and I do that daily on my blog: i like nice things { www.ilikenicethings.blogspot.com }. It's like a show & tell every day of the week! A few random things about me: Today, I love thrift stores, red lips & striped shirts, cinnamon hearts, porcelain kittens & Miike Snow.
Thank you to Cargoh for asking me to share some of my favorite things from their site { so many pretty pieces to choose from! }. It was hard to narrow down my "wish list" to just a few manageable items to share. But I did it! So, here are my top "I love you I want you" picks:
Crocheted Bib Necklace from A Common Thread
I’d love to wear this under a navy structured blazer or with a cute little black dress. A statement piece without being over the top. And, the model is totally selling me on it!
iPhone Case from Byrd and Belle
Who doesn't need a really cool case to protect their phone? I'm notorious for dropping my phones, and this case looks like it would definitely protect against my clumsy hands. PLUS I love the look when mixing materials & textures: felt and leather!
Tapered Mug in Marshmallow from Night Owl Craftworks
A mug in the color "marshmallow"? Yummy! I am craving a cup of hot chocolate right now. I'll have one to go, please!
Solitaire Ring in copper from Brightsmith
I love this graphic take on a solitaire. I'm not one for too much blingbling (at least on my fingers)-- and I love the graphic hint at a Solitaire without having all of the dazzle. It's so simple and clean, I love it.
Print: Te Amo (I Love You) from The Big Harumph
I'm a bit type-obsessed. I love words & letters. I collect posters, prints, pieces that I find, and photos of type that I see. So this print seems perfect to add to my collection, and I love the sweet sentiment. Throw in the whole handmade element (silk screen) and I'm sold.
Brass Ball Locket from A Common Thread
This is the perfect everyday necklace. And I love that it is a different shape than the traditional flat locket.
8x8 Giclee Photograph from Walter Helena Photography
Searching through Cargoh's wide selection of sellers, I was immediately drawn to this image. I'm pulled into a dream world, like I'm floating in a sea of cotton candy. I would love to have this photograph hanging in my home.
{Thanks again Alyssa! We look forward to many more of your curated collections - Love Cargoh!}
