Jen Ham and Pin Pal bring the love



Just in time for Valentine's day! Montreal sewing-machine virtuoso Jen Ham has been blowing our minds for years now. She's just brought us a collection of ridiculously amazing change purses and a whole new batch of meticulously assembled "theme" pins (38$ CAN), all with her trademark super-miniature detail. How she manages to micro-sew like this we'll never know. But we suspect she may have some special powers. Available at General 54 only.



And more heart themed stuff:
We've known Montreal design/sewing team Pin Pal mostly as makers of appliqued bags and super cute felt pins. But then they completely surprised us with this collection of handmade, articulated puppet cards (12$ CAN). There are three models, and all fold up neatly into a square envelope (which of course is included!). They also come with an individual lovely red heart. Having a soft spot for puppets in general, we love love love these things which are almost more toy than card really! Thanks to Claudia for being such an excellent puppet wrangler. Available at General 54 only.
