Incorporating eco-friendly and reusable materials in your work is an admirable thing! And that’s how I found these adorable little wallets by Chakra Pennywhistle. They are made from vintage money bags used in banks. What fun right? And also good for the environment! The perfect gift for your eco-conscious friend!

Not too long ago I featured some Indie items from Georgie Love an online Australian Indie shop! TEZ, is another of those fine crafters and I thought that it might be nice to post about something for the men in the audience for a change…if they’re out there??? Since my hubby surely doesn’t have the same enthusiasm for my handmade jewelry collection, baby items, or my collection of tiny crochet animals…I thought maybe we’d throw him a bone here! These ties by TEZ caught my eye and I thought what a fantastic gift for your hard to buy for, fashion forward Indie friend! I love the skulls, they are vintage and recycled, and lets face it stripes are always a plus!

I came across these wallets made by London based artist Paddy Hartley on Etsy and I have never seen anything like them! They are a great anytime gift for the man in your life who is hard to buy for, as well as a fantastic holiday find! Each one is constructed by Paddy himself using cotton and bold imagery “…derived from atomic civil defense and public information films, experimental aircraft of the 1940s/70s…” Please visit both his own website and his Etsy shop for more wallet designs!
Paddy will also be in an upcoming exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Design called “Extreme Embroidery” that will run from November 8, 2007 through March 9, 2008. If you are in the NYC area….you won’t want to miss it! You can find more information about his work at Project Facade.
