Yes, thanks for posting all of these! Although, it’s almost getting stressful for me to have all these shops to sift through. I just spent the last two days organizing my computer bookmarks (what a mess!).

Thanks so much for this great post – lovely stores and I have just bought the polaroid print from My Polaroid Shop – lovely!

We have just set up a bigcartel shop for Let them eat Cake ( http://letthemeatcake.bigcartel.com ) for our mismathced vintage china cake stands and it has been a great experience – we’ve had sales across the world in the last month and the back end is so simple and slick its a great service – highly recommended.

Love these! Especially My Polaroid Shop and Littleput Shop.

(Unrelated, but… would you consider NOT posting comments in the RSS? It makes things scroll a LOT — in addition to the pics and text already… Thanks just for considering!)

Hi!
My name is Carolina and I’m from Bogotá, Colombia (South America). I’ve followed your blog for moths now, always filled with beautiful things.

Today I found something very special! A poster of colombian food “Comida criolla” by Marcela Restrepo in the LeftyHand link. Marcela is a colombian illustrator living in Sydney Australia, but I didn’t know her!

So today I also find this gem of a fellow colombian doing wonderful things abroad, thanks to your blog!
