meet the sponsor : pare * umbrella

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

pare * umbrella is located in rainy city Seattle. Every year when the rainy season comes around, we are saddened by the onset of the gray skies, soggy wet outdoors jackets and dull umbrellas. Why not use something on a wet day that will cheer you up, bring fun and excitement to every rainy season.

A cheerful, lovely umbrella on a gray rainy day can have a contagious effect on those around you. Wouldn’t it be nice to have everyone around you enjoying the rain as much as you? You’ll soon be looking forward to the next day of rain.

Please put “Indieshopping” on the note to seller column when you make a payment and you will receive a refund on the shipping from now until December 17th.

Katie Henry is the lady behind the sewing machine at madebyhank. She grew up in a town with a gas station, a hardware store, a little chocolate shop that her mom owned, and not much else. Somehow she did not touch a sewing machine until about 5 years ago and when she did it was love at first sight. As it was when I saw Katie’s handbags!

Omg! Lia?

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Omg! Lia? is a one-girl DIY shop featuring funky & colorful handmade earrings, wallets, accessories, and more!

 

My Little Pony Necklace : $17.00

Omg Lia specializes in bright, eye-catching plastic jewelry. I search all over for my charms and beads - everywhere from the internet, to flea markets, to yard sales - so you can be sure that your item is totally unique! Omg Lia offers a wide range of colorful, rockabilly-style necklaces as well as big and small earrings. All of our earrings can be changed to clip-on at no extra charge! For those of you who already make their own rockin’ jewelry, Omg Lia also has a supplies section where you can get some of the beads and charms used in the shop.

Green Mario One Up Mushroom Necklace : $17.00

Many of our pieces feature a kitschy charm from a TV show or video game, like the Mario Mushroom Necklaces or the My Little Pony line. One of the most unique attributes of Omg Lia is that each item appeals to a wide age range, which makes it a GREAT place to shop for both your 5 year old sister AND your 25 year old friend! In addition to character and charm jewelry, Omg Lia also features a dazzling line of button cluster earrings in all colors of the rainbow.

Blue Button Cluster Earrings : $12.00

One line that may stand out from the rest of the shop is our selection of Bitch wallets. Athough Omg Lia is all about plastic, pink, and kitsch, it also has a political side that is very, very subtle — except when it comes to these wallets! Bitch magazine is an independent third wave feminist magazine which also happens to be my personal favorite! I whipped up a wallet made from the magazine’s cover, contacted Bitch, and thus my line of Bitch wallets was born. Made out of paper and tape, and then sown with sturdy thread, these wallets are sure to make a statement at the checkout line. Omg Lia also has a line of hand-drawn pop art wallets also made out of paper and tape and machine-sewn.

 

Feminist Wallets : $14.00
