craft-o-licious: dear birthday and lekkner

It's always great to support the handmade gals (and guys) out there who are pulling out their wares for crafty business ventures...Two of my favorites are Dear Birthday, run by Valerie, and Lekkner, run by Melissa. Dear Birthday makes super lovely clothes from scratch, as well as reconstructed patchwork belts and limited edition T-shirts (she's also got a totally entertaining blog and takes lovely photos!). Lekkner has tons of great pouches, bags, accessories, and tops made from recylced T-shirts with awesome graphics and vibrant designs. Her new brooches made from T-shirt scraps are a fab way of using even the teeny itty bitty parts of cast-off items...

Check 'em out and support the community!
