Shop + Tell: Perfect Bound

So exciting to have both Julie and Kathryn here today (yay!) - I'm such a huge fan. I consider their blog - Perfect Bound the Audrey Hepburn of blogs!!

Who: Julie of Perfect Bound!! How often do you indie-shop? I try to buy indie/handmade as often as possible. It's not very hard to do since I seem to be drawn to the charm of handmade items! Scores...a red and white recycled poppy pin from foundling. How does it make you feel? Special, charming, happy, inspired, lovely What made you buy it? So often I'll have on outfit an and feel like I'm missing that something that sets it apart and gives it a little personality. When I found these, I knew they were just what I was looking for! They're great because I can also attach them to tote or hair tie. Betsy's since added to the selection of colours and sizes... I think I'll be adding to my collection!

Who: Kathryn of Perfect Bound!! How often do you indie-shop? I would say it's becoming more frequent, as I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating something. And I think supporting the indie/handmade market is so important. Scores...a canvas tote from the lovely Lisa of Good on Paper How does it make you feel? eco friendly, creative, jovial, playful, cute What made you buy it? I was looking for a fun tote bag that wasn't too heavy so it would easily fold up and fit in my purse. This way I can put any purchases I make in the tote bag instead of using a plastic shopping bag from the store. This one was perfect, and super cute too!

Thanks Julie & Kathryn!!
