Royalmint & Handymaiden

Two of my favorite artists in the whole entire world (maybe even the universe, y'all) have joined forces to create collaborative pieces that are absolutely whimsical and 100% imaginative.  Sabina is the curator of her little shop of treasures Royal Mint and hails from Montreal.  A fellow French Canadian!  Yet another reason to love her work.  She was recently featured seller on Etsy and you can read her interview here.  Danielle has been a lovely, supportive friend to me and I just think her work is exquisite.  She has a delightful running commentary over on Twitter which I just love reading.  She runs Handy Maiden I've never seen anything quite like her shop.  She creates hand painted miniatures of all different variates of critters and her brush work is so detailed sometimes you don't know if the animal is real or one of her own cleverly created species.  I am itching to make a terrarium to house one of these little works of art in and I encourage you to check them out and support these artists when you shop small for the holidays this year.  xoxo Agnes

Aren't they the sweetest things EVER?! I *think* the polar bear duo in Danielle's shop is my fave, but I can't decide for sure.
