March 17, 2015March 12, 2015 by HelloImHandmade

Three sisters started BestowSF because they love awesome stuff and they love the wonderful San Francisco Bay area that they get to call home. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay, the abundance of exquisite, handmade artisan items is abundant. They founded BestowSF to share this super cool, unique gift giving experience: the goal at BestowSF is to compose the perfect gift box for every single occasion. Every BestowSF gift box is filled with quality gifts that have been thoughtfully handcrafted by individual makers with love.

March 7, 2015March 5, 2015 by HelloImHandmade

It’s hard for me to not get super excited and gush and go on and on about Horse and Dragon, but boy oh boy! I am in LOVE with every single thing they make. (The problem is, I don’t have a baby to buy them for… I may just have to change that. haha!) But seriously, Horse and Dragon makes modern and organic bedding for the coolest babies! They have all kind of prints: bears, tigers, spots, tribal, dinosaurs, feathers, swiss crosses, stars, and many more. They even offer a completely customizable blanket (see below.) Their shop is definitely at the top of my favorites!

Our Hello, I’m Handmade Winners!

February 28, 2015February 27, 2015 by HelloImHandmade

I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in my latest contest to be featured! I feel like I am a part of a community that really cares, because they do what they do, and make what they make, with heart and passion! I love making handmade, but I also love buying handmade, because I know each product wasn’t made on an assembly line or in a sweat shop, but on someone’s kitchen counter, or dining room, or sewing room, while their babies sleep, kids are at school, or late at night because they also work a day job.

Winner one (and these are in no particular order) is WAX by LAX, (you can follow them on Instagram here) with their March of Dimes Limited Edition candle: All proceeds from this candle go directly to March of Dimes!

And finally (sort of! Haha!) we have Industrial Envy (you can follow them on Instagram here) with this fun shot glass paddle:
