creativity

I've been busy lately.

I finally decided that 2013 was the year that I would let go of the fear and do it anyway.  You know that fear that says don't do something, in case you fail...  

I opened a little shop. I'm loving it. Come take a look.

Let me know what you think.

my Dad's an artist

yep, it's true - he paints. and he's really good.I have finally set up his Etsy Store and blog to show off his work, since he's too humble to promote it himself :)

check out more of his work here

art crush

I stumbled across these gorgeous quotes on Etsy and really think I need one for my wall collage! the hard part is choosing between them all!

hello monkey

while shopping for kiddy gift ideas on esty I came across this little monkey

is this not the cutest little hat you've seen???

buy it here

vintage and roses

here's another of my bargains from our garage sale shopping the other weekend -this heavy cut crystal vase cost me $2... I bought it with the intention of selling it on etsy but when I put my red roses in it, I instantly fell in love with it...

wow I won!

remember that little blog called The Swede Records that I mentioned earlier in the year? and how in love I was with their new header that the very talented Kelli Murray created personally for them??? well last week Jenny May and Kelli joined forces and posted a give-away on their blogs, so I entered straight away! - and guess what??!! I won! woohoo!

this morning when I crusied on over to their blog there was a photo of me (I think it was my mustache that did it...) :) what a wonderful surprise to wake up to this morning! thanks Kelli and JennyMay!

check out more of Kelli's work here at her etsy store, her blog here and you should also check out the awesome wedding invites Kelli did for her own wedding - amazing!

Look what I found yesterday at Etsy

Ever been looking for art in a certain colour, but just not known exactly what you're looking for??? Well the Etsy Colour Picker enables you to pick a colour and then it shows you what's available in those colours - it's fun to play with too!

You can also shop by location, most recent views, and lots more options.

Enjoy!
