Merch Monday: Xenotees

Another Etsy favorite of mine, Xenotees screen prints adorable and unique designs onto cotton, sweatshop-free products.
Running directly out of the artist's studio in Philadelphia, all items are guaranteed to be free of smoke or pet dander.



This basic design is what first drew me into the store. Swirling inwards, the text is of the various collective names of animals. Over a hundred of them in fact!
This list includes quirky gems like a "tower of giraffes" and a "business of ferrets" as well as some omimnous sounding ones like an "unkindness of ravens" and a "sleuth of bears".
To top it all off, a portion of the sales are donated to animal rescues and charities.

Check out more cool goodies at the Xenotees shop.

Merch Monday: Accidental Designs

Accidental Designs by web based crafter Mishima is an etsy shop full of joy, fuzzies, and kitsch.
With an eye for bold graffic designs, Mishima stocks her store with felt appliqued pillows of varying degrees of cuteness.
Most inspired by nature and wild-life, these fun pillows and throws are sure to inspire some sort of conversation.
I'm in love with her comment bubble option pieces.
