Handmade Picks for Fall

Sep 13, 2010

With cooler mornings and an orange leaf peeking out here and there, I automatically start craving cozy stuff: wool socks, fluffy blankets, chai tea, and maybe a little mac & cheese! I like to change things here and there throughout the house, too. If you're buying something new for your home this fall, consider handmade goods. They bring a certain richness and personality to a space that you can't get from a catalog. I've turned this blog post into a great excuse to spend some time browsing Etsy for cozy, handmade stuff just for autumn.

Click here for my Top Ten Ideas for "fall-ifying" your house, plus a great recipe for Butternut Squash Risotto— my ultimate fall comfort food.

Mountain Lodge Wool Blanket from Massanutten Hookery, $188

Chunky, earthy and warm, with a bold design that's decidedly simple and modern.

Storage Basket from Claudine Ehlers, $18

A handy catch-all with a textured geometric design.

Driftwood Candle Holders from NaturesCabinet, $29

A perfect warm, rustic touch on a coffee table or as a fall centerpiece.

Organic Mug Cozies from KnitStorm, $16

Knitted to keep your drink hot and your hands comfortable, with cute appliqués, for mugs and take-out cups.

Upcycled Vintage Mirror with Birch Bark Frame from TreeMirror, $150

Simple and beautiful, and a great price for a 28-by-32-inch mirror. Also check out the little 8-by-8 accents mirrors for $16.

Eco-friendly Table Napkins with Tall Stems Design from EcoInspired, $40 for four

Switch up your table decor with this subtle design on organic cotton/hemp.

Don't miss this!

Shop for original handmade goods direct from the artists and crafters this Saturday, September 18, at the first Traverse City Maker's Market! It's an exciting new event at Inside Out Gallery in the Warehouse District.
