Collections: Unusual Vintage Padlocks

Sometimes it's just fun to see some vintage curiosities.

In this case, old antique padlocks in odd shapes and designs.

Unusual and decorative, function meets art.

Fantastic Group Hug Quilts

These amazing quilts are made by Samantha Nguyen of Group Hug Quilts.
Don't you just love that name?
It perfectly describes the feeling a handmade quilt gives you~
like you're being embraced in a huge, loving hug!

These two, in particular, are contemporary and sleek.
I could easily see either one in a man's bedroom
since they have masculine, hold-the-frills style.

Sammi also creates adorable baby quilts.
Turtles, chipmunks...she works lots of animals into her projects.
Did somebody say adorable?

And here's a humpback whale wall hanging!
Very cool.
