If you haven't noticed, we love Ohio. So when I stumbled upon these lovely state and city pieces, I knew I had to put them on our blog. Catstudio specializes in locale-themed items, from hand-embroidered pillows and aprons to glasses and bags. They're all gorgeous, but I'm especially in love with the hand-embroidered pieces like the pillows, dish towels and aprons.

The pillows are a little on the pricey side (one pillow is $149), but they are hand-embroidered and I'm definitely in love with all the colors and the design.

The dish towels are equally amazing and a little more budget-friendly at $20 a piece, although you do have to buy two as an order minimum. For both the pillows and the dish towels, you have your choice from cities, states, countries, regions and resorts and national parks.

These would make a great housewarming gift for someone (especially if they're moving to a different state) or it would be a good Christmas gift for any of your friends that like to travel. Spread that state love!

I have a mild obsession with anything with the state of Ohio on it. I have a handkerchief, an enamel pin and I desperately want a tattoo of my great state state. But until I get the guts to ink myself with the OH, I'll try out this Ohio necklace from truche.

If Ohio isn't a state you'd like to don, they also have a selection of the other 49 states. -Becky
