Remember those perfume commercials. . .

the ones where they say, "If you like _____, then you'll love. . ."
In support of buying handmade, i thought it might be fun to do some of these throughout the holiday season.
Let's play, shall we?

If you like Anthropologie, then you'll love Sew Bliss Sew (left: a view of Bliss's table at the Handmade Market; right image: Anthropologie)

If you like Room Service Home's Holiday beauties (below left), how about Maggie Kern's cute creations over on Makool Loves you? (below, right)

If you love Jonathan Adler (image below, right)  then you'll adore George Ryan (below, left)!

If you like a bright and cheery desk (see left, 3-M brand post it notes) then you'll (REALLY) love boygirlparty's notepads (see right).

If you like Tord Boontje's work (remember the special guest Target designer everyone loooooved last year around the holiday season?; black and white image on right) then fall in love with Rob Ryan's (red and white image on left) work, then clickity click through his etsy shop an swoon!

And, finally, for this installment, if you like Crate and Barrel's birch bark candles, perhaps you'll love the longer lasting birch bark picture frames from Annemarie Sandstrom's etsy shop!

What have you seen in the great big world of shopping that reminds you of a mass produced Indie Crafter's work.  Anyone out there have any "If you like _____ then you'll love _____?"  I'd love to see what you've come up with, and what better way to draw a bit of attention to those out there working so hard to make quality handmade goods? Post a comment and please share!

Kick ass idea for a post, and when I saw that Anthropologie was your first comparison, I had to read it. :D

Victoria--I know, I'm torn on Anthropologie because they mix in some genuine "small business"/handmade stuff, but over all just appropriate the indie scene.. . but then they do hire designers and artists in store to decorate (awesome!) but between them and Urban Outfitters, there's just enough inauthenticity to make me wonder. . .
I'm so glad you liked the post!
