ShopRuche Blog

I stumbled upon this blog via Design*Sponge and I was totally inspired by all the pretty pretty things in their clothing line and all the great projects featured - including a step by step method for making gorgeous paper flowers and tips for using cornstarch to make temporary wallpaper adhesive - fantastic tip: if you use fabric as wallpaper and you get tired of the pattern, you can just remove the fabric, wash it, and you have a piece of material available for another project!

All of ShopRuche's items are reasonably priced - most items are under $50!

Handmade Detroit Visits Etsy HQ

Some of the HD peeps had the awesome chance to stop by Etsy's headquarters in Brooklyn this past April while on a trip to NYC. Their office is just as cool as you would think it is, but even cooler were all the friendly people we met there (even getting a chance to chat with Etsy's CEO, Maria Thomas!), all who didn't mind that we came storming through their work day with a video camera!A huge "thank you!" to former Mittenette Danielle Maveal for hooking us up and Adam Brown for showing us around.
