Funny little bits!
I wanted to share some of the items the sweet Post Lady brought to my door the week!
The adorable black droplet and cozy little house are from AshleyG! One of my favorite Artist! I love her work and wish I had more money to start my own Ashley collection :) These little mini paintings are actually made of porcelain, and being a lover of clay I just new I had to have them.
Next are these amazing buttons by Urbanturn. I love the shape and texture of these beauties! I have not decided yet what I will make of them, but all I know is it better be good! I am also a lover of interesting and strange items, and these being made from deer antler are defiantly different!
*Even though I am not fond of hunting, and I myself would never do it. I do believe in utilizing parts of already dead animals.*
Stay warm and cozy!
Cheers

Featured Artist
This week as been full of crazy happenings and lost of rain! Today is the first day that the sun is starting to peek out of a blue sky! I already started the day by pulling down old paneling in the bedroom, and priming the walls. I really can't wait until I move in to my new studio! Although it will not be fixed up until next spring..I am still excited!
So today I decided to put a spotlight on some of my favorite Etsy artist! Their work is inspiring and full of imagination!
This piece by fricdementol titled: "Chez Moi" is dream like in its opac quality. I love the colors, patterns and the individualism of each expression.
"Little girl in lace" by mcatgarrison is soft and melancholy. The empty stare of the girl is mesmerising! I wonder if the lace collar is worm by choice or force? I also love the color of the paper used instead of the traditional white background. Stunning!
"Club Chair" by mywireempire reminds me of the pink chair I found at a church sale when I was in college. I absolutely adored this chair! I graduated from college 6 years ago..and still have the pink chair! My Husband hates the pink chair! After we bought our first home the chair was banished to the basement :(
So this simple yet amazing portrait of a pink chair brings back happy memories of reading and relaxing in my favorite pink chair!


My dream is to some day live on a farm. Just passing a farm gives me this unbelievable feeling of joy! This beautiful painting by Paintbox
called "Winter corn field" brings me closer to my farm! The fuzzy early morning glare over the landscape is so soft and beautiful! I can picture myself sipping a hot cup of coffee on the porch of my farm house over looking the fields!


I hope some of these talented artist have inspired you to paint, draw or print! Or maybe just buy some Art! Have a beautiful Thursday!

I have many addictions!
Etsy is feeding my addictions too fabric, weird kitch and Art. One of these addictions is near and dear to my heart...Art. If you did not know I am not only a pouch sewing nut. I paint, draw, and when studio space is available..pottery. These are my loves that I rarely get to do, but hope to have more time and space for in the future. So until my dream life comes true I do like to show my love to other artist!
Here is a vintage 3-d postcard that I just had to own from Shop66 ! I find it creepy and cute all at the same time..perfect combination :) It reminds me of these weird books I had as a child with 3-d covers of the little red riding hood! I can't wait to get a funky frame and hang it in my studio!


One of my favorite artist on Etsy is BettyTurbo! I love here crazy retro style prints! There are so many to choose from and I can't wait until I redo my kitchen to adorn it with BettyTurbo! I did purchase this awesome Meat card to hold of my Betty cravings until then :)
♥♥

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Oh and Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Tuesday Ity friends!
It is pretty rainy and dark here on the home front. I don't mind the rain, but I hate when everything is dark and gray. Well this week has been picking up speed at the shop. I think once everyone gets turkey off the brain Etsy sellers are going to get swamped! I am pleased that many of my Christmas gifts will be from Etsy this year!
I think I am in love..............
I swoon over everything in this shop! The entire idea of it all is so beautiful! The colors chosen, the whimsical etchings, and now the felted animals! I wish I could fill my house with all the lovelies spilling from this shop!
This little golden girl holding a golden fox reminds me of little red riding hood!
A copy of her now resides in my home, just waiting to be framed!

Oh and don't get me started on this mouse!
I love him so! Maybe Santa will bring him to come live with me!
He is so life like I am just waiting for him to scamper away!


Two Brown Birds print reminds me of the wind in the willows
or a Jan Svankmajer film. I love the beautiful yet uneasy feeling from
many of the work found in this shop!
Oh how I'd liked to dream in the images of ohmycavalier!
Well I guess that is enough dreaming for today! Off I go to finish my morning chores on this rainy Tuesday!
