10 Awesome Handmade Things To Buy This Week

10 Awesome Handmade Things To Buy This Week
Carly Jacobs

S

hopping list posts are my absolute favourite to write on Smaggle. I sit down with a cup of tea (and some popcorn if I’ve been organised!) and I scroll through my favourite treasuries and shops to find the best stuff. This week I’ve got some handbags (always), jewellery and a few gorgeous wooden organisers. Enjoy!

Leather and Canvas Tote from SKModell

I’m so over plain black leather bags but in true Melburnian monochrome style I still lean towards neutrals.

Multi-Layer Organiser from Hitonari Works

I own an obscene amount of jewellery (not like Elizabeth Taylor obscene but pretty close to Phoebe from Friends obscene) and this would be PERFECT for my every day bits and pieces.

Cake Topper from The Pink Owl Designs

These are just too cute. They also have ‘You’re my lobster’ and ‘To infinity and beyond’. Adorable.

Reversible Tote from Open Daily

I have more handbags than I can poke a stick at (what does that saying even mean???) but this would be super handy for carrying around pretty documents and things that you don’t want to get smooshed in your main handbag.

Droplet Pin From Minicyn

There’s something so timelessly elegant about a minimalist pin don’t you think?

Glen Coco Mug from Avvonie Studios

It’s been 10 years since Mean Girls was released which just makes me want to eat toaster strudel, wear pink on Wednesdays and drink from this bitchin’ Glen Coco mug.

Grid Blanket from Batisrike

This is going to make Mr Smaggle sound like a total asshole but he legitimately will not let me buy a throw rug for our couch. He thinks they’re unnecessary. I’m just going to buy 50 or 60 of these and replace the couch with a PILE of throw rugs. Who’s useless now?

Tote from Emily McDowell Draws 

groceriesandshit

This is brilliant because if I’m carrying a tote bag, 99% of the time, this is what’s in it.

Tray Table from Keo Decor

One of my favourite things to do is to precariously balance food items on the arms of our sofa and although this tray table would totally ruin my fun it would stop a lot of the food ending up on the floor.

Moon and Stars Ring from Niniijala Jewellery

I’m a sucker for anything remotely Daenerys or Game of Thrones related so this was the first item to make it to the shopping list.

  1. I was eyeing off that tray table and the ‘Groceries and Shit’ tote earlier in the week. I think my budget will stretch to the tote only. You have become my enabler. 🙂

      They were on the front page of my etsy (or everyone’s easy??? I though it was just mine?) and I was like OMG! Yes please!

    i would totally buy that tray table if I could get it shipped to Aus. It’s amazing.

      Yeah I should really look in to whether or not these stores ship to Australia… I’m like ‘PRETTY WHO CARES???’ 🙂

  3. I am in love with that organiser. I’m forever losing bits of jewellery because it’s just rolling around with wild abandon on some surface or other. And I would consider getting married again (to the same person, obviously,) just so I could have that “infinity and beyond” cake topper. It’s too adorable! So, Smags, I want to know if you had to choose one of these things, what would it be?

      Oh my lord I have no idea… maybe the throw rug? Just because I’ve wanted one for so long!

  4. Hubster does plenty of eye-rolling about throw rugs. He may not use them, but I like to snuggle under one, so I make sure I remember to use it occasionally. That one looks particularly snuggle-worthy.

      All you have to do is show a picture of a pretty hipster enjoying a products and I’m all over it like a rash!

    My nanna knitted me an amazing knee rug (out of about $100 worth of wool!) and my boyfriend laughed at me for aaaages about it and then he used it once and now he always tries to steal it from me on the couch. Nuh-uh, you laughed so I don’t share.

      Oh totally! I’d be all ‘Don’t dis the blanket.’ Mr Smags paid me out for buying these stretch tights with a pattern on them and he actually wears them all the time. It’s hilarious.

    Haha I love that tote bag! “‘n shit” is my favourite suffix 🙂

      I’ll be doing LOTS of Christmas present wrap ups soon! It’s always best to get ahead of it! 🙂

    That tray table is fantastic. I have a terrible habit of balancing my teacup on the edge of the couch, and it’s only by some miracle that I haven’t spilled it everywhere. This tray table would help me curb that habit.
