33 Ways to Craft It Forward (Kunst)
*****
It feels so good to give.
Giving is so beneficial for the giver and the receiver.
I racked my brain to think of as many things as possible that people could do to Craft It Forward. I came up with this list…and I can’t take all of the credit because our Facebook readers helped me out HERE.
Do you have ways we can Craft It Forward? PLEASE share your idea in the comments below!
Here we go…
1. Send handmade THANK YOU cards to people who have inspired or helped you.
2. Surprise someone you love by putting lots of hearts on their door with a reason you love them inside of each heart.
3. Make blankets for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.

The Eliot Collection (Kunst)
*****
Smooth, supple, quietly assured. The Eliot's sensuous simplicity of form takes centre stage this season. Lusciously soft taurillon leather moulds to your hand and body with the lightest of touches, combined with nubuck panels and shagreen hardware for a feast of texture. A men's range of work and weekend bags is finished with polished silver-finish hardware, adding a clean edge to the leather's soft leather and gentle lines. Women's accessories include an array of versatile pouches which can be used as an iPad cover by day, slipped under the arm as a clutch for the evening, or simply stowed away in your bag for every-day essentials. Exclusive new ranges in pony and metallic python add an opulent surge of colour and tactile depth to this season's rich shades of Venetian red and midnight blue.'The Bond Street Bag will always hold just a little more.'
Smythson Catalogue, 1920
This contemporary collection holds Smythson’s history hidden within. Shot with our signature Nile Blue thread, the striped cotton lining is inspired by the Bond Street bag: one of the first bags ever to be produced by Frank Smythson in 1900.
