handmade pillows

These adorable handmade pillows are from the creative mastermind of Melanie H. -- who sells her stitching and quilting patterns not only locally (at Sew Sweet- check out their link on the right side of our blog) but also internationally (she's a hit in Sweden). homebodies is very lucky to get a handful of her pillows, featuring mod fabrics and upcycled wool sweaters, they are creative and fun...love the little house!

Creative Containers

I came across these photos and just had to share. They showcase a great way to give vintage finds a new purpose. Even though these photos showcase winter florals, the idea can easily be transitioned into any season....

Dressing up vintage finds such as an old milk can or an old ammo crate is repurposing at its best!

New Arrivals

homebodies just received a new shipment of some very beautiful, unique items--from decorative bird cages to breathtaking artwork to creative photo displays. The Botanique books are actually decorative boxes--they look good and can stow away anything you want to hide. Our shabby chic wall clock really keeps time and the mirrored bird tray will catch lots of attention. Come see our new arrivals for yourself!

Cheerful Table Runner

Check out my new cheerful table runner.

My sister-in-law, Katie, made me this for my birthday and I love it!
Not only are handmade gifts always a treat, this table runner has added a colorful, cheerful touch to our home when it's needed most -- during our yucky inversion-grey days. This table runner may just be the thing that gets me through a few more months of the winter blahs....

It features a variety of fabrics that all look great together... there's even a few shades of blue that play perfectly off our old church pew and the vintage metal colander. When spring gets closer, the runner will especially look good with my faux cherry blossoms in a weathered vase.

Since our last blog was about bibs... we will keep the baby vibe going...

homebodies also has adorable burp cloths ($8 for a set/3), baby wipe holders ($8) and car seat covers

(from $30).

Best of all--homebodies offers all 3 in coordinating sets.

Beautiful Bibs

homebodies has a great selection of beautiful bibs... they're simple in design, yet it's the little things--the fabulous fabrics, delicate flowers or button details--that make the bibs so stylish. All of the bibs are handcrafted locally and priced from just $6, they're easy on your bank, too.

We're Back

Ok, ok... Christmas was a while ago... and we apologize for not blogging sooner. We just had to catch our breath.

homebodies is back in the swing of things... and we plan to get our blog up and running at full speed.

Until then, check out our facebook page... where we have posted photos of some of our adorable Valentine-inspired items.
