There’s underwear on your underwear! I love these funky little prints from Christy & Ronnie at Lucha Workshop. Their illustration style seems very intuitive and effortless, which I love because I’m always overthinking everything.

I would like to congratulate Alicia of Reboot for getting her lovely recycled wallets into one of Madison’s hippest boutiques: Pop Deluxe. If you’re in Wisconsin, this is just one more reason you must make State Street one of your stops (aside from the high concentration of locally owned and operated shops and restaurants, of course). I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there, so way to go, Alicia!


These lovely screenprinted pieces are made in Rhode Island by Stephanie of Stevester. She’s inspired by her natural surroundings and I love that she does everything from creating the original designs to making the screens to doing the actual printing. Her straightforward style reminds me of my own – love it!


Probably one of my favorite things since . . . I don’t know, recycling bins, these great totes from Jen at black sheep heap are perfect for making a statement at the grocery store and hauling around anything. She screenprints a variety of pro-nature designs on bags and tees; I personally love her tree shirts (yup there’s an “r” in there).
