eighth st. — just another girl’s favorite things.

At work last week, I heard a designer toss around the phrase “evidence of the hand.” She explained this meant being able to tell that a product isn’t churned out by a machine or mass-produced. She thinks the ultra-consumerism of the ’90s is backfiring and now people want something hand-made (or that at least looks hand made, but isn’t).

Want examples? See Etsy. Some of my favorite shops:

And so many more.
