One day I want a wall of moon paintings in a nursery. Here are a couple I would love to have.


This marks 1,000 posts! 1,000! I can't believe it! To celebrate, a giveaway tomorrow!

I love these iPhone cases from Pencil Shavings. When I become fancy and get an iPhone, I want one of these to top it off...

I love this ring from Dekezhen on Etsy.

As promised here are some new ACEO's I found this week. All are 3.5x 2.5 and I believe they are all under $30. Original works that won't break the bank.

This one is my absolute favorite.* Big Sur by artiparti

Out West by Painting Well

Oranges by Gift Shopp

Artichoke by Pratt Creek Art

Provence Essence by Fred's Miniature Art

Abstract Modern by Luiza Vizoli

Canadian Impressionist Landscape by Fournier Painter*

*Denotes a gentle suggestion to my husband who is looking for Valentine's day gifts....

Here are some random bits of color I have found over the web...

I love this statement necklace, I think it definitely qualifies as a splash of color.

The only thing I really like in this room is the green island.

This yellow dresser is gorgeous, I think my little sister would love something like that.

Last but not least, the blue wall...

I saw this pillow on Nie Nie and was instantly enamored. Wouldn't it be perfect on a child's bed with a solid bed spread?

I have been searching for a flower painting for a while now. I saw one on someone's wall somewhere in the blogosphere that I loved. These are some of the best I found on Etsy.

I think this one might be my favorite.

I love these Christmas cards from RSVP Invitations. They recently put some of their invites on Etsy and even offer print yourself option for some of their cards. They will add your picture and verbiage and you can take the file they send you and print them at Costco, among other places. Or you could just have them print them for you. One way or the other these are the prettiest cards I have seen this season.

This year the baby boom seems to be in the Winter. Most of my friends and family members are having babies October-February. So I thought a winter handmade baby gift guide (and an updated one) was in order. All handmade, all from Etsy.

Earflap Hat- You can request any two colors, personally I love the red and white.

Wool Shoes-These also come in a variety of colors.

Giraffe stuffed animal

Baby booties

Baby loafers

Orange Earflap hat

I love the idea of a nursery with a variety of moon paintings. It gives it a nostalgic kind of feeling.

I already own the last one. I want to add to the moon collection.

I love it when I sell a necklace on Etsy because it means another piece of art for me! This is the one I bought with the proceeds of my last sale. It reminds me of the mountains from home. I really love it.

I am no art connoisseur. I generally know what I like but when it comes to flower paintings I am always at a loss. What do you think of these?
