Happy Chinese New Year everyone! It’s now officially the year of the goat. Here’s a small selection of handmade goodness to celebrate.
As I mentioned before, you can find anything when browsing through online marketplaces. And there are so many of them, which makes it even more fun. That’s why I created an Online Marketplace Directory! Type in ‘Goat’ at any of these marketplaces, and this is what you may find.
1. Indulge yourself in a goaty smell with this handmade bar of soap. Made from organic goat’s milk and some fragrance oils, which makes it smell like ‘fresh linen dried on a fresh breezy day’. Sweet! By Andaloo, found at Ecohabitude.
2. Relax I’ve goat this! Ah yes. I love a goat joke. And this shirt is handprinted on ‘baby soft’ cotton with eco-friendly water-based inks. By Boredwalk, found on Etsy.
3. This is a stunning print of a goat living in a natural history museum. It’s all mixed up with other images created by rewinding the film and shooting through the roll again, together creating this beautiful mess of imagery, no photoshop! By Misha Ashton Moore, found at Supermarket.
4. Made from goat leather, poor goat, yes, but he does live on in a gorgeous notebook! With recycled paper and a hand-stitched design, this is truly something. By Dani Fox Handbound Books, found at Folksy.
5. This nifty little brush has been made from sustainably sourced beechwood and goat’s hair, and will help you keep your laptop clean this year! By Bürstenhaus Redecker, found at Not On the High Street.
