Pretty Paris

I just love what Pretty Paris stands for: recycle, renew, repurpose.

The company creates hand-stamped vintage silverplate flatware. Wedding forks, cake servers, housewarming serving sets, garden markers, and much more for use in your home or garden. You can’t go wrong with these unique hand-stamped lovelies.

The company has been featured on Martha Stewart’s website…and now Evatopia too!

In keeping with their environmentally friendly commitment, Pretty Paris ships all items in 95% Recycled Content Envelopes. Envelopes are plastic free and padded with recycled newsprint.

Production time is generally 1 to 3 days and then products are mailed first class.

Pretty Paris’ owner is Heather, a stay at home mom living in Southern California with 2 kids, 1 fish, and a lovely little pair of chubby guinea pigs. “My shop means the absolute world to me. I love my work, my customers, and the lovely friendships I have made through PrettyParis.”

Hippie Hound USA

By Margery Walshaw

Hippie Hound USA provides a bit of Americana mixed with whimsical farm art to create a shop as individual as its wares. From American flags and custom pet portraits to farmhouse animals and even reclaimed wood art, owner Lee Keller provides treasures you’ll love.

Even as a child I loved painting and creating… Lee Keller

Lee studied fine art and graphic design in college and has a fine art degree. She then combined her love of animals with her love of art to create unique pieces of farm animals painted on reclaimed wood. The result are vintage looking farmhouse collectibles that make a wonderful addition to any home.

Lee also started to paint furniture for people in her area. The result was such a hit that she has started to formulate and sell her own chalk paint. “It’s durable, yet workable,” says Lee. “There’s no need for priming and little prep needed.”

The Clever Home Store

By Margery Walshaw

When your home becomes a work of art that’s just plain clever, which is why Evatopia is loving The Clever Home Store.

The Clever Home Store is a place for smart products designed for smart people. The combined efforts of husband and wife Isaac & Kristen (The Krisaac), all of the items you’ll find at Clever Home were designed and hand-crafted by the duo, or discovered during The Krisaac’s regular travels.

“We have a passion for good design, whimsy and functionality, and we’ve always wanted to share our passion with the world,” says the team.

Located in south Texas, team Krisaac has been curating, building and designing furniture, lighting and home accessories for over five years.

Some of our favorite pieces include the Boho Bracelet Holder: Vintage Brass Birds.

This is a bracelet holder with a twist. Repurposed vintage brass partridge birds are perfect for displaying jewelry atop dressers and vanities. Also great for tablescapes and home decor.

We also love their Wanderlust Postcard Collection. The ten original photos taken during a road trip to Palm Springs, California encapsulate the moments, landscape and various points of interest characterizing the West Coast. Cards can be mailed or used as wall art.
