Fiber Optic

I was at one of those historical re-enactment villages a couple weeks ago and I learned how to fingerspin wool. I've always liked watching the spinning demonstrations, and while I'd like to move up to that, fingerspun wool is fun too. So, let's take a look at FiberOptic, a great little yarn shop run by a PhD chemist who used their knowledge to form a superior yarn. I have to say, I love the color choices!

Jelly Jelly Roving

Superstition Roving

Ginger Yarn

I just love the intense colors. Can't find that at JoAnn or Michaels.

Last chance to get in on being a featured seller this Friday. Leave a comment! Lucky winner chosen tonight.

Lake Illustration

I know I'm waaaaaaay late to this party, but I just discovered Lake Illustration. Wow! Not only is this guy prolific, but he has great color sense. And celebrity sense.

How did I miss this shop?

Audrey Hepburn

Do All Things With Love

Johnny Cash

I just love the composition of the Johnny Cash print. And the way he looks in the illustration reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix, so that was a good casting call.

Has anyone else seen this shop? What's your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

LeeArtHaus

I saw this happy print of a couple owls as it floated past in the time machine and went to investigate. The creator is LeeArtHaus. Her shop is filled with prints of owls, birds, robots and the like in muted earth tones mixed with various bright colors. It may just be me, but methinks they like birds. :)

Snow Owls Pocket Mirror

Rocketship Print

Birds Flying Print

I like the texture and layers. What do you think? Leave a comment below.

Friday Featured Seller - Gretchenmist

Let's travel down under to check out this week's Featured Seller, Gretchenmist. She's a mom to 2 little boys and has a background in graphic design. Her shop is filled with delightful mixed media drawings and collages that are mostly abstract but also draw on nature themes.

You Said It Would Be Good

Very peaceful. What do you think? Leave a comment and get a chance to be a featured seller right here next Friday!

We're Married!

My (now) husband and I were married today. We'll be honeymooning over the weekend a couple hours away from where we live. Should be a fun time.

Regular posts commence after this! Thanks for the patience!

12Fifteen

It's been awhile since I featured letterpress. What attracted me to 12Fifteen was the cross-stitch letterpress coasters. You could even use the coasters to send little notes if you can't bear to put a glass on the prettiness. The texture and color choices are so appealing. Her shop also offers prints as well.

Folksy Flower Coasters

Birch Morning Print

Cross-Stitch Coasters

I love the intricate detail and color choices. Lovely!
Today is the last day to get in on Friday Featured Seller love, so if you want to be featured, be sure to leave a comment.

Santorini

Breeze
