help me choose

As I mentioned to you today while you were oogling plants, I have been keeping a casual eye out for some small artwork to begin to beautify my work space.

Since the artist I was looking at last night found its way into my etsy favorites about 4 times, I decided to have you (all) help me vote on a print.

The first four are from artist Anne-Julie Aubry of The Nebulous Kingdom Illustrations.

Le The Suspendu

The Queen of Sorrow

Becoming a Puppet

Melancholia

The other few I enjoyed finding were from artist Irena Sophia.

Lost in Chopin

Book Girl

I Let My Birds Out

do any of them scream candace to you?
which ones are talking?!

(some of the prints admittedly remind me of some of our lovelies in other states!)


i want them all,

i spy etsy gift guides

though we joked around about fasting from etsy for lent {dear god, we were joking, right?!}, have you ever happened to wander around etsy's gift guides section? i have found so many cute categories that make my creative juices flow while simultaneously making my pocketbook itch.

here are some of my favorite gift guides:

pampering: just add hot water




woodland and feathers
(i may or may not confess to having this one on an RSS feed)

oh mouse, guide my purchase button...

Tell me my friend:  Can you think of anywhere in your home, say maybe in the kitchen, maybe on a tiny white shelf above the sink, flanked by a candle and a cookbook (but only one with a gorgeous cover of course) that this little owl could call home?

Owl Under Glass from Kgrandey

He just looks perfectly aloof but needing a shelter.  Help him out, won't you?  I mean, now that you have Miss O. (kitties are the gateway drug) isn't it time for a new addition?

kate towers breaks my heart

oh my goooooodddnnnneeesssss.

This Portland-based, self-taught seamstress genius, Kate has come out with three lines that i took a few minutes to peruse (waiting for the zucchini casserole to bake, you know), and i tell you - there is not ONE SINGLE THING in this woman's collection that i wouldn't wear.

The latest: Sauvie Island


Golden Hour



Wit & Prim

i am not supposed to be accessible as i am vacation, but as i was catching up on some email in my parents' office, i stumbled across etsy's homepage.
