Look what I've received in the mail! Or should I say, what my 11 year-old dog Bubba has!
Super-cool Kelly Galanos from Sycamore Hill makes the most unique hand-stamped metal spoons, silverware, and other goodies.
Kelly's Etsy store, Sycamore Hill, specializes in selling her awesomely upcycled goods to the masses. A little more about Kelly is below (taken from her Etsy site!)
"A native of Chicagoland, I have lived among the scenic rolling hills of Bluegrass “horse country” for the past ten years. Louisville's charm has grown on me ~ and as an lifelong equestrian, it has been especially sweet for me to be surrounded by everything equine.
Our property sits atop a steep crest and is affectionately named Sycamore Hill. My studio overlooks the century-old tree, after which the property is named. I have quite an incredible view! My time away from the Hill is largely spent with my horse, Monty, at his stables just outside of historic downtown LaGrange, Kentucky."

What I received was from her Pet Tags collection. A perfectly personalized set of dog tags for my Bubba! The BOHO tag for his name piece. So much chicer (and meaningful!) than just any tag you buy at a pet store! What's great about Kelly's store is that you can completely personalize the tag; shape, font, font size, and even color of the metal.
Then, of course, a "Call My People" tag to complete the identification set. I just love the handmade quality of these, that they are made by a caring individual, not a machine! All my readers know how I emphasize the DIY lifestyle, and Kelly definitely embodies this lifestyle!
In addition to her pet tags, she's got hand-stamped silverware (which still function as silverware!) , good-luck horseshoes, and key fobs and tags. These are super-cute gifts and can also be personalized to convey a message. Birthday parties, wedding gifts, congratulations gifts,....the list goes on and on. Truly special!
Needless to say, Bubba loves his tags. Looking dapper!
