We have some Easter and Spring things listed on the website and over at ebay.
Here are a few shots of my Spring/Easter mantle (it needs bunting!):
I just added these little hand-painted labels to the “freebie” section of the website.
Just add the tags to your shopping cart, check out and download the file to your computer. It’s really quick and easy :)
Each tag is approximately 2″ tall. Would make great gift tags for Easter gifts!
Enjoy!
I’ve been painting up a storm to make these matching sets of art paper.
I love the handmade, hand-painted look… All of my labels for my store and my bath line as well as my logos are all hand-painted and one-of-a-kind… it was a lot of fun designing them, too!
I find that hand painted designs are more playful, unique, organic and have more texture and personality than the mass-produced papers, (but that’s just me).
You can take these sheets and print out note cards, scrapbook backgrounds, make bookmarks, make labels… lots of possibilities :)
Each collection has 4 sheets. Each sheet is sold separately for 99 cents. One sheet is 8″ x 10 1/2″ and 300 dpi. You get the Jpeg and the PDF versions. It’s easy to purchase, download from our website immediately and print them out as many times as you like! Here are our 4 collections… Agnes, Kelly, Heather and Penelope :)
Back to painting ;)

Something a little different… I love this technique because it showcases each stone and it’s easier to do a linear color gradient line-up.
London blue topaz, sapphire, tanzanite and iolite…
Rectangle faceted citrine surrounded by green tourmaline…
Peridot, tourmaline & citrine…
I was flipping through a magazine (of course I can’t remember which one anymore, and the photo was already cropped.)… but look at this shelving!
I know it’s been done before, and I’ve seen something similar at Ikea, and on Trading Spaces… but I just loved how this shelf grouping is set up.
I’m thinking a whole wall of shelves like this… perhaps I could assemble them on the ground then mount (to avoid a zillion holes in the wall) and paint some with flowers and leave some plain with just a clear coat or white wash. I love what they did with them in this picture, color wise. I could frame a few out with molding and put pictures or a mirror in them… make a whole focal shelf wall. Ooooh… I smell a project :) And in my office, I can customize my wall o’ shelves to include ribbon dowels, hooks, large shelves for my jars (we don’t have earthquakes in NC! woohoo! hehe) and other fun little cubbies. And in the bathroom… and in the…
Yep, I think I like them.
Do you like coffee? We REALLY do :)
I know Starbucks isn’t truly the best for the snobby coffee connoisseur’s picky palette, (that’s so not us) but I must share a coffee that I really enjoy. And it’s from Starbucks, for a limited time (artificially “limited”? The jury is still out).
Casi Cielo from Guatemala. It says it has hints of dark chocolate and lemon in it… whatever it is, I’m in love and I’ve stocked up :)
Maybe I should call Tuesday’s posts “Show and tell Tuesday” ;)
