Bakers Dozen is a very special little shop that curates limited works created by artists & makers from all over the world. Like this…

I particularly fell in love with this embroidery hoop made by Fieldguided in Toronto (I love their Flickr photos). “I like being alive. A lot.” What a very basic truth this is, I mean really — life is such a gift. What a great reminder to keep in front of us when we’re facing a challenge or knee deep in hardship. Be sure to check out Bakers Dozen and all of their fabulous finds, including these Crochet Macarons made by Sian Keegan. Less calories, just as sweet.
