Needlepoint Enjoys Rennaissance

Good article in the Daily Mail covering the surge of interest in needlepoint. It attributes part of the trend to designers such as Jonathan Adler taking a renewed look at needlepoint-based design.

Needlepoint Footwear

Pricy but pretty. Check out By Paige‘s selection of needlepoint shoes. And those baby shoes? Too adorable. Of course, savvy shoppers get what they want at the price they’re willing to pay. Case in point, Nicole at the House of Leaves, who picked up a pair of flats for $12.00.
