As Seen On...

New at the shop this week, 'Foggy Morning'

Friday Finds!

Look at these awesome oversized poufs! These are handknit by Dana's Joy, who has a variety of items similar to these. I just love the charcoal color and the nubby texture. It's 'room fashion' that is also quite functional! Stop by her shop and have a look around! Have a lovely (almost fall!) weekend!

Friday Finds!

I did a search on Etsy for 'English Bulldog' just to see what was new these days. Up popped this ridiculously cute English Bulldog decal for your laptop! These decals are from Ivy Bee's shop, so head on over there and take a look around, she has plenty of fun and funky decals for your computer! Have a great weekend!

Friday Finds!

Today's Friday Finds is this super cool Silver Cuff Bracelet by The Shag Bag! I actually purchased this for my sister for her birthday, and she loved it! She said that it fit great, and she loved the little floral blossoms that had been stamped into it! Check out her shop for many more colors and designs! Have a happy weekend!

Tuesday Etsy Treasuries!

Two more treasuries today! The first is 'And They Call it Puppy Love' by Jennie B. Goode, and features my 'Relaxation' bulldog print! So cute, I love treasuries featuring all things dog! The second today is a treasury west cleverly called 'Wicked Witch of the Treasury West' by Clementine's Jewelry, and it features my 'There's No Place Like Home' print! Really well done! Check out all of the featured artists!

There's No Place Like Home...

My sister, my mom, and I went to see 'Wicked' (which, by the way, is FANTASTIC - you MUST see it if you have the opportunity!). My sister is obsessed with the color red, and I suggested that she get some red shoes to wear that night. The day before, I asked if she had, and she said no. Then after getting ready to go, she came down wearing THESE to surprise me! Complete with Wicked Witch socks! When I said red shoes, I didn't think she'd find replicas of the Wizard of OZ shoes!

These fabulous shoes were made by Princess Pumps...check out the site to get a pair of your own!

New in the Shop This Week!

New stuff this week! Head on over to the shop, and you'll find Golden Fields, Sunburst, Autumn Path, and Whisper!

Friday Finds!

Today's feature is Chalk Chalk. He draws these wonderful 'human-powered' means of transportation on chalk boards (handcrafted chalkboards I might add!) and sells them as prints or you can also buy the original chalkboard! I can see these hung as multiples in a hip baby nursery, or a kitchen, or a work studio...endless possibilities! Check out his shop to learn more!

Friday Finds!

I LOVE these! How many times have you thrown your piece of fruit in your lunch tote, put it in the fridge at work, and discovered that somewhere between commuting to work, and having one of your co-workers squish your lunch in the fridge that your fruit got all bruised? I think this is a clever and cute solution! So fun! These apple jackets are hand-made by jacquelineknits. Check out her shop, she has many goodies to look at. Another item that I love is this coffee cup sleeve. It's a bright happy color, and more comfy for your hands than those cardboard ones you get from your favorite coffee shop (and less waste than using those cardboard ones too - bonus!)

Saturday Morning Treasuries!

Two of my photos, 'Brilliant Light' and 'Daydreams' were featured in treasuries this morning. The first treasury, 'Spritely' was put together by milemarker in honor of the summer-like weather that is finally on its way. I love the green and yellow combination of this one!


The second treasury, 'dreaming of dandelions' was put together by primsbyandrea. She put together this collection to feature affordable, original art. I think she did a great job with her choices!

Friday Finds!

This card absolutely cracked me up! In these hard economic times, its nice to see that people are keeping their sense of humor! This card is brought to you by snarkycards, who lives her life by being brutally honest, and I love it!

Please check out her shop, and prepare to stay awhile reading all of her cards! Not only do the cards crack me up, but so do the descriptions and her profile!

I have recently been the victim of this crappy economy, being let go from my 'day-job', so the card I chose to feature below hit close to home, and made the situation a little more amusing!

Treasury Feature on Etsy!

Today, my 'Cat Portrait' of Luna was featured on dragonhouseofyuen's treasury on Etsy. She has been awesome enough to feature my work in several of her treasuries, so please check out her shop - tons of cute stuff there! She also has one of her ACEO cards in a storque vote round.

Yesterday, my 'Sunset Wishes' was part of a blog feature from fellow Photographers of Etsy member BethPeardonProds. She showcased sunset and sunrise photos from various POE members. Check out her blog here!

Friday Finds!

It's officially SPRING!!! What better way to kick off the new season than to 'springify' your home with some fresh new pillows! These come to you from joom. She is an artist from the San Francisco Bay area. I love her store! I love the colors, I love the big, bold graphics she uses. These are just fantastic! In her store, she also offers graphic wall art, bags, cards...check her out! Click on the photos to go directly to these listings...

Friday Finds!

It's Friday Finds time! Would you look at how beautiful this 'box' is! I say 'box', because that word does not do these creations justice. This piece is brought to you by Jim Jenkins, a theatre designer/technical director-turned woodworking artist. I think he made a great 'career change'! When you stop by his store, be sure to read his profile, I got a kick out of it! I love things like this, it would make a great jewelry box, or a very handsome place to keep all of those little 'things' that you don't want to get lost in your junk drawer but that need a home.

Monday Morning Treasuries on Etsy!

Here were a couple of Treasuries that I was in this morning. Made my sluggish, day-after-losing-an-hour morning a little brighter! Please check out their etsy stores too!

This first treasury is from tredlightphotographs, who has put together a really pretty collection of photographs from members of POE (Photographers Of Etsy). And the best part is that all of us have 10 sales or less, so she is trying to give our stores a little boost!



Next up is such a cute cat collection from erinbowe. Just made me smile!

Friday Finds!

I was on the phone with my parents the other day, and we got on the topic of something that we refer to as "Dress up Dad". Fun for my mom and I, not so much for my dad! My mom was trying to find stuff to pack for him for a trip that they are taking soon, and while she was making him try on pants they came across all of my dad's ties. He is now happily retired, and pretty much only wears ties to weddings and funerals, so they were discussing what to do with all of his old ties. I said that we could make scarves, belts, camera and guitar straps. But apparently I was thinking on too small of a scale compared to the work of glamarita! The very next day I stumbled across her store on Etsy. She takes men's ties and repurposes them into evening gowns, cocktail dresses, skirts...wow! I think one of these creations would be fantastic to wear to an art show or gallery opening. People might even confuse you for part of the show! Here's my favorite...
