turkey feathers: Friendly Hollow

Hello Friends!

Well, I may be just a wee bit biased, and rightly so, but isn't this phone cover adorable? Ginger, our youngest daughter (who I can't believe will be turning 21 in a couple of weeks . . . ACK! My "baby" is all grown up!), has been quietly developing a line of sweet little things over the past few years, inspired by her love of animals and nature. And now, she's recently opened her own Etsy shop, called Friendly Hollow, with a focus on 'charming gifts and keepsakes'. I'm pretty excited (naturally) and couldn't wait to tell you all about it.

Her product line consists of sewn, stitched, and sketched items; some made by hand and others print-on-demand phone covers, coffee mugs and tote bags using her own artwork.

Her aesthetic is whimsical and gentle and quite appealing to all ages. I particularly love this mushroom mug. It makes sipping my hot cocoa even more special.

Ginger's woodland animal mugs are precious as well and make fun gifts. If you decide to order mugs (or any of the other printed items ) to give for Christmas, please do so early as they are printed off-site, and then there's the shipping--which we all know can be slower during the seasonal rush. If you wish, you can even order these and have them shipped directly to your special someone.

Ginger also loves to sew and create pretty things. Her felt woodland animal ornaments are quite detailed and very charming with the tiniest of embroidery stitches.

Flashback! Maybe some of you remember this little fellow?

My petite pony from 2008 when I was making things out of a thrifted wool blanket.

Ginger, who was about 10 at the time, fell in love with it and began making them as small felt ornaments. We even sold a few sets in my old Etsy shop.

And . . . now they're back! She's added a neck ribbon for extra cuteness and a gold cord for hanging up on the Christmas tree. Sold in sets of 3 as before. Check them out here. Ginger is always busy making new things and will be adding more to her shop.

So, if you are in the market for cute handmade items, please stop by and favorite Red_heart Friendly Hollow to get the updates and first dibs, as quantities are limited.
