new chez sucre chez!

Kimberly of Chez Sucre Chez has some new things in her shop just in time for Valentine's which we're just loving including these hand-embroidered crown hand/tea/dish towel in navy - did I say I was loving navy? (Also available in off-white). A few x-stitch kits like this puppy love one and a very cute owl love you always kit. We also love her custom monogrammed towels in various colors. They are all available at her big cartel shop, here and stories about her work are on her blog, here.

For generations, women have expressed love of family through the painstaking art of embroidery. This February, gallery hanahou presents a new generation of embroidery artists using needle and thread to depict love in broader terms, whether idealized and simple or brutal and complicated. Curated by Kristen Rask, this group exhibit of affordable artwork will win your affection in more ways than one. A meaningful alternative to waxy chocolates.
