covet wednesday: the 'one of a kind' edition

When I was in Toronto early this spring for the One of a Kind show, which I posted about here, I did my usual shop of the other vendors, looking for great handmade items. I bought a few things, and coveted a few others. Some of the coveting was from Hoi Bo, who made it into a previous covet wednesday post. And some of the buying was from Flakes Paperie and Crywolf Clothing, who make up this week's covet post.

I bought a Father's day card for my Dad and a birthday card for my sister from Ashley at Flakes Paperie, which meant hanging onto the cards in an ever-so-unlike-me, prepared-months-ahead-of-time way! My dad loved his card, and for a week or so after I gave it to him kept handing it back to me and saying "Have you seen the nice screen-printed card my lovely daughter gave me?" every time I walked into his house. Classic move--my dad's always a goof, and also basically the best Dad ever (Hi Dad!) Anyway, I love the invitations showcased on the Flakes Paperie website. If I had custom invites to make anytime soon, I would definitely head their way for great design and beautiful items screen printed by hand.   


 I also bought a hoodie from Crywolf Clothing, and I love this thing! I wore it all spring, and recently also dragged it up north with me on a weekend-long adventure in which I lost a bunch of my belongings, including my wallet but thankfully excluding my Crywolf hoodie! I would definitely buy this again, and I also really like the anchor/nautical sleeveless shirt below.
