Carol Ross Pottery

A while back when we were visiting the Missouri Botanical Garden, I noticed some pottery by Carol Ross.  She sells her work on Etsy under the name The Clay Bungalow.  I especially like the pieces with bunnies (of course).

Cowboy Collectibles

When we visited Old Town San Diego last January, I bought a beautiful horse hair bracelet.  It's from Cowboy Collectibles (from Montana).  Mine consists of two braided strands of chestnut brown hair, complete with a horseshoe charm.  Much cheaper than owning an actual horse...

Canvas USA Map

I bought a pair of moccasins from L.L. Bean once many years ago, and I still get their catalogs.  When I flipped through the last one, I saw this cool map.  It's a giclee print on stretched canvas and would be a super addition to any home.

Modern Genealogy Charts

Have you seen the modern genealogy charts from Latter-Day-Home?  They've teamed up with I-Chart-You to create some really pretty and simple charts.  Choose from grey ombre or one of their great color combinations.

Arizona Fabric

I've really been thinking about the West lately...  So much great design.  April Rhodes' Arizona fabric is fabulous.  I saw this fat quarter bundle in the Sisters and Quilters shop on Etsy.  (Wouldn't you know, they're from Utah...)  If you buy it before I do, you have to share - OK?

Amano Studio

We have a new shop in our area called Cypress House.  It is kind of Anthropologie-ish, and it's fantastic.  One of the first things that I noticed there was a cool arrowhead necklace.  It was made by Amano Studio from Sonoma.  They have a great line of Western-inspired jewelry, including these great earrings and necklace (not the same one that I saw).

Everything Oz

We were in Kansas City a week ago, and they have a fun store at the Crown Center that features all things Missouri/Kansas.  I picked up this book to flip through and could not put it down!  Everything Oz is a fantastic collection of crafts and recipes pertaining to The Wizard of Oz.  There are darling upside-down cupcakes with little witch legs sticking out from the bottom and fabulous poppies and these cute Dorothy and Toto dolls.  I ended up ordering a copy from Amazon (much cheaper to buy from a third-party seller), and it should arrive today!  The authors are Brits Christine Leech and Hannah Read-Baldrey - I'll have to learn more about these creative crafters...

Eccolo

I saw some really lovely journals at TJ Maxx the other day.  They were made by Eccolo.  This bee journal is from their web site.  Isn't it so pretty?

Michael Coleman

When I was at the Nauvoo Temple a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a beautiful painting and made a note of the artist's name.  Michael Coleman is a prominent Southwestern artist from Utah, and his work is reminiscent of the Hudson River School.  This one is similar to the one in the temple.

K. Hall Designs

I've posted before about Barr-Co. soap and hand cream and Simpatico perfume and candles.  Well, they all come from a company called K. Hall Studio, Inc.  They opened a shop at Plaza Frontenac called K. Hall Designs, and it is a lovely place.  We were in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago, and I took this picture (secretly).  I think the Simpatico solid perfume is a great idea, and I really liked the Ambergris scent.  I could spend days browsing and smelling all of the beautiful things that they offer.
