Etsy Find of the Day: Abigail Brown Birds

I just want to go on record that I'm completely over the whole bird thing. But I'll make a huge exception for these exquisite fabric avians from London-based textile artist Abigail Brown, which transcend the twee, tired trend and qualify as true works of art. They're not exactly inexpensive, but they are absolutely covetable. Above: Fabric Bird in Nest, $154

Blue Birds Canvas, $137

Large Fabric Bird White, $150

Pink Bird in Blossom Canvas, $204

Fabric Bird Blue Gray Cream, $125

Matchbox Tweeter, $31

Etsy Find of the Day: The Good Machinery Softies

Italy's The Good Machinery makes some amazing art, and I was delighted to discover that she recently added a collection of oddly lovable softies to her Etsy shop. (Above: Set of Three, $45.)

Each handmade, hand-washable creation is a character from the artist's sketchbook, brought to life via a heat-transferred print onto 100-percent recycled cotton. They'd be a lovely Easter basket surprise for a little one in your life, or even a quirkily winsome addition to a couch, chair, or shelf for an imaginative adult.

Take a look:
