Divine Danita

Divine is what comes to mind when I see Danita's beautiful artwork. This Mixed-Media artist never fails to inspire happiness in all of her endeavors. THE MUSICIAN, a original Mixed Media Art Doll is no exception! Danita is one of my favorite artists. Her work includes layers upon layers of papers and such that create a depth of whimsical style. Once you start collecting her work, you'll be hooked! Be sure to check out her Etsy shop HERE

Xenia, Crewel and Loving It

If you've ever built a new house or remodeled your current abode, then you know how mind-numbingly boring tile shopping can be. Most tile shops feature the same things. How in the world can you create a unique room with stuff like everyone else? You want something hand-made. You want something gorgeous. You want something like Xenia Taler. Her hand made tiles will make a masterpiece of your backsplash. Tiles such as her Large Bird (CW07BRD $108) from her Crewel Intentions line will absolutely be a show stopper!

oooohhh! Pretty Baby

Want to read a lovely story? Then go here to read how Glassybaby got their start. Created by Lee Rhodes, these little glasses have so many uses. My favorite is with a votive glowing inside. There are more than 50 colors. How could you buy just one?

How many times do I have to tell you?!?

I am so glad I am not the only one constantly saying the same thing to my kids. John W. Golden's children helped inspire to create art! I should put every one of them up in my boys room. The "Wipe Your Feet" poster should go up in the mudroom for my husband. Available in several sizes, These signs start at $28.47. Purchase them at John's ImageKind store or at his Etsy store.

Mahar Dry Goody Goody

For your little honey - this is the bunny! Made by Los Angeles based artist Chika, it is constructed entirely by hand, and she does so with blanket stitches that are so teeny tiny you'll need a magnifying glass. Details are appliquéd and embroidered including french knot pupils and eyelashes. A very artful way to decorate your nursury! Available for $84 at Mahar Dry Goods.
