It is hard to decide which one(s) to get, isn’t it?

I saw this sweet little shop featured on Etsy’s front page while I was surfing Etsy rather than working on my database manual (naughty) and I think it is rather special.

LeiLiLaLoo is the Etsy shop of Dana Komjaty, an Amsterdam based designer and mother of a 2 year old, who enjoys creating everything she can, from hand-painted ribbon, house pillows, paintings, fabric, hand-painted banners, to woodblock and beeswax art. She went to the Royal Academy for the Arts in her 20’s and emerged with a degree in pattern design and illustration. She worked as a freelance pattern designer until the birth of her son. Now she creates whimsical designs for her Etsy shop. Take a look….

House pillow $45, Lavendar pillows $10, hand-printed ribbons $10, City under Clouds $22, hand-painted Fabric $18, and more House pillows $45.

All her creations are very unique, and have a nice mix of nubby linen, bright fabrics, and fanciful designs. They are quite beautiful (and very reasonably priced).

If you like Dana’s art, you can see her artwork and read more about her on her website leililaloo.com or on her blog.

Here are some pretties from Etsy with a definite fall vibe. Two of the items are already sold but the purses are still available.
