Ceramics: Spiky Planter from Kabin

Spiky Planter from Kabin

Although I know it is only November, I really want to help support smaller business's by showing off beautiful handmade items to encourage people to buy from smaller , ethical businesses this Christmas. So i have decided to create some short posts, published more regularly, featuring the beautiful items that i come across on the web.

So I am starting with this cute little Spiky planter from Kabin, a London based, one woman business run solely by Carol and ex-Vogue illustrator. This quirky little planter would look great amongst my smily face planters.

This planter is available through Carols online shop over on Not On The High Street.

Current Obsession: Marvin Frietas Triangle Mirrors

Marvin Freitas' Triangle Mirrors

I have seen these beautiful triangle mirrors doing the rounds on Pinterest and tumblr and wondered where they came from. I would love one of these at the top of my stairs!!!

...... They are the work of Carpenter Marvin Frietas....

Marvin has been a carpenter for almost 20 years and his inspiration began as a young boy watching his grandfather make things in his small garage shop in Galicia, Spain.

Marvin told Moon to Moon that he "always felt that my hands had something and I could translate me vision into reality in terms of furniture" and the "Triangle mirror is a reflection on my child hood growing up in Galicia"

Now based in Minneapolis MN his custom work sells in select boutiques in the US, choosing to work alone as he doesn't want to get to big.
