Tuesday's Treat

I have long been a fan of EKRA- both the artist and the person behind the work.  You may know Emily for her famous rugs, but did you know that she has other serious talents, too?

Emily has recently had to put her crochet on hold (read more here), and I have been amazed at the transition she's made to a completely different creative outlet.  Her mosaic frames are amazing, one-of-a-kind treasures.  And, they're eco-friendly!  Emily uses all reclaimed and/or made in USA products in her work.  They come in a range of sizes to fit every style and budget, too.

You won't find a nicer person to work with, and I know firsthand that EKRA customer service is top notch.  The only problem you'll have when you visit Emily's new line of frames is deciding which one to buy!

Personal Shopper

~*~

I've had the recent unique pleasure of becoming a personal shopper for one of Etsy's great talents, Emily over at EKRA.  As I well know, crocheting rag rugs takes a LOT of fabric, and the time spent finding the right colors is always longer than anyone would imagine.  Emily makes a LOT of rugs, but she happens to live in a small, somewhat thrift-store-challenged town.  From reading my blog, Emily knows my passion for thrifting and came up with a win-win idea for both of us.  I've really enjoyed thrifting with a special purpose when she "needs me", and I love to see the fabrics I send get made up into one-of-a-kind EKRA treasures.  And, as an added bonus, Emily is a super friendly and fun person to chat with, too!  Here's the latest batch of aquas and seafoams heading to Illinois.
