Latest Obsession: Scout & Catalogue

June 15, 2015 by Angela

Handmade accessories | Scout & Catalogue | iffoundmake.com

Happy Monday. I’ve been enamored with the Scout & Catalogue Etsy shop for years now (she opened shop in 2009). Finally, at the beginning of this year, I snagged these marbled notebooks off of my want list and officially made my first purchase. They’re gorgeous, of course, and the subject of many Instagrams for the company I work for. But after finding Bre (S&C) on Instagram @scout_catalogue, and seeing her new line of bohemian-beach influenced accessories, it was time to finally feature Scout & Catalogue here on IFM. Look at this pastel colorscape that served as inspiration! (Also, I was a little sad that Bre had been in LA and also at the Echo Park craft fair & I had totally missed saying hi!) Anyway, ever since I learned that this brand works with a manufacturer in Portland, I had a few questions, and I was happy to learn that the factory S&C works with supports responsible production, wages, & local sourcing. So Scout & Catalogue has expanded quite a bit in the past year or two and in addition to Etsy, offers an independent online shop full of dyed textile fashion, accessories, & goods.

Inspired by a little beach town in Mexico, it exemplifies a soft pastel rainbow, also known as — the colors of my dreams.

I am also quite smitten with the tote version.

^^ Obviously, because I have a thing with throw pillows right now.

Scout & Catalogue is a brand that I’ve absolutely loved to see grow over the past few years, expand from Etsy, and even work with other makers across cities. They’re Vancouver based + always up for honing in on technique and sharing with all of us. Check ’em out here.

Society 6 throw pillows

June 3, 2015 by Angela

I’m not proud of how long I’ve spent on Society6.com looking for home decor. Personally, I think not a lot of art translates well to a duvet, throw, or rug. Society6 can also be quite overwhelming to search on, so looking for practical wares among thousands of designs goes from relaxing to “can this be over?” REAL quickly. Hoping anyone else on the hunt for home decor + the perfect art will find this roundup and be one step closer to the perfect hybrid art-and-ware piece.

I think I pretty much covered my (often contradictory) aesthetic here: pastels, oil paint, modern, donuts + coffee in honor of national donut day, tropical plants, celestial-inspired, calligraphy, west coast pride, watercolor… Can you see any of these in your space?

Summer beach essentials

May 27, 2015 by Angela

I’ve yet to spend much time lounging on the beach this year (save for a few crazy beautiful January days), and actually May was quite mild around Los Angeles. But with whale watching and friends visiting, I’ve got beach on the brain. I recently ordered a cute swimsuit I’ve been eyeing for actual years off of Etsy, so now all I need are a few other accessories. Bright nails, a cozy towel, and new sandals should do the trick. After trying on some hats at the mall over the weekend (and all of them being big and swallowing me up), I decided to rekindle my love of headbands. And that Madewell tote everyone’s sporting that was definitely not ethically made? There’s a much better (in my humble opinion) version over at fashionABLE for close to the same price. So go ahead and scoop that up.

Isn’t that pouch beautiful?

Sweet shop: deco naturals

May 13, 2015 by Angela

Natural beauty products: deco naturals / iffoundmake.com

Stumbled upon this natural beauty brand deco naturals on Instagram yesterday. They’re a conscious luxury beauty company with bath soaks and face masks and a clean minimal product packaging design. Here are a few of their lovely offerings…

cocoa + rose bath milk, $32

blood orange + grapefruit bath soak, $28

lemon + sea clay mask, $26

Their products are handmade in Michigan using natural (mostly vegan) ingredients and packaged in little glass jars (very cool considering how many eco-beauty brands still use plastic in their packaging). Intrigued by the bath soaks myself! Find them on their website + Instagram.

A couple of sassy notebooks

May 8, 2015 by Angela

Sassy notebooks / home office ideas / if found, make.

The other day I was perusing my favorite local bookstore for cute greeting cards when I found these sweet ‘n sassy Daily Dishonesty notebooks from Abram’s Books. In this line, Lauren Hom beautifully designs all the little lies we tell ourselves and puts ’em right where we can’t ignore them.

Clearly I had to get the three pack. I do love my sassy paper products. (Remember the notebook featured in our giveaway on TBM? So fun.) If you haven’t heard of Daily Dishonesty, you’ve probably at least seen the ‘get over it’ notebook floating about. But I reeeeally love these ones. Too good!
