Tribute to the Frog Who Was (Brought to you by Etsy)

I feel a need to have a tribute to the frog that my cats so spitefully destroyed. SO, I of course, went to Etsy to find some frogs that could possibly help me pay homage to this lost one.

This painting is brought to us by poordogfarm on Etsy.com www.poordogfarm.etsy.com

This charming little window vase is designed and handcrafted by Vaseplace www.vaseplace.etsy.com

This is just an amazing photograph!! And it is from benkuneshphotography www.benkuneshphotography.etsy.com

And last, these cute little frog magnets. Created by Crowbiz www.crowbiz.etsy.com

Poor, poor, frog

I just went to enter my computer room and by chance looked down. A sad sight met my eyes. My two cats had found a leopard frog and murdered the poor, unsuspecting trespasser. An investigation as to how the frog was able to enter the house is underway.

Good Morning. Well, this weekend was kinda productive, so feeling pretty good this morning :) Got all the laundry, sweeping, mopping etc done yesturday so we are living in a nice, clean, frest house again lol.

Now, for the real reason you stopped by today ;)

The artist I have for you is whiteflowerart on etsy.com. This artist is Donna. She describes herself as:

"An organic vegan artist (photographer • painter • drawer • designer • writer • crafter) from Pennsylvania -- wife, mom, gramama, sister, aunt, friend, animal companion mom. She's an adopted, nature girl, night-owl, vampyre buff who practices Yoga and loves animals, nature, loud music, movies, reading, gardening, rafting, camping, red wine, road trips, loud music, cooking, baking, working with herbs, using natural remedies, the arts, horror related books/movies and the paranormal. She's eclectic – eccentric, passionate, a goof-ball, stubborn, a hippie and creative." <-- I love when the artist shares information like this about themselves. Helps you feel the person behind the art <3

I found a ton of different prints that I fell in love with instantly in her shop - today we are going to veiw "Orange and Black"

"A fine-art Giclée gallery wrapped canvas print is printed larger than the final print size so that it can be wrapped around a 1 ½ inch thick wooden frame. Photos are printed directly onto canvas using high quality archival inks by a professional photo lab. [Giclée is French for "fine spray"] A finishing spray is applied to each piece to protect the surface of the print. Framing paper covers the back of the gallery wraps and metal hangers & bumpers are applied to the corners. Your gallery wraps will be ready to hang on the wall the minute they arrive - no framing needed. "

I love this artist. Now go on and show her some love by visiting her at www.whiteflowerart.etsy.com

Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Thursday to you!! I don't know about everyone else, but I know that I LOVE trees. Any kind really - specially ones that are decor for your walls! (just kidding, I really love the ones that are outside, but for this instance, the ones that go on your wall are just as good :) )

The folks down at MarkJamesDesign feel the same way. These guys have brought the outdoors in just for folks like me. They design and create vinyl wall decals. I picked out my favorite two for today :)

"Barren Winter Tree Minimalist Decor Vinyl Wall Decal - EXTRA large, 8 foot tall accent graphic.

This vinyl decal kit quickly and easily creates a dramatic, 8' tall decor accent in any room. Available in any color from our palette. Please include color choice in message to seller at checkout.

For ease of application, this graphic is supplied as 3 branch sections and 1 trunk section. Registration marks are included for easy alignment. Comes ready to install with simple instructions and a professional application tool (squeegee).

Overall completed graphic measures 96" tall by 66" wide. If you would like this design in another size, please send a custom request. Price will be adjusted according to size."

I just love this one, for a could actually see this in my house -- with these colors and everything. Imagine walking into your living room and feeling as if you just walked into the woods!! Love <3

"Winter Birch Trees - Branches and Birds - Vinyl Wall Decal - Minimalist Decor Accent

This vinyl decal kit quickly and easily creates a dramatic, decor accent in any room.

Shop and compare. We offer so much more for less $$. You get 6 trees to arrange any way you like. Use them all on one wall, or spread them throughout the house. The layouts shown in the photos measure just over 8 feet wide."

This is actually the one that first caught my eye while scrolling through Etsy a few weeks ago. This picture shows a really neat color combination and I almost felt jealous of whoever had this as part of their home :)

It you would like any additional information about these two peices, or about any of MarkJamesDesign's work, please go to http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5751393§ion_id=5656807

Firsties!

This is my first (hopefully of many) posts that include art handmade and sold through Etsy.com. I actually found this artist this past winter while searching for a present for my Mother-In-Law. She loves frogs - as do I - and so I saved this artist to my favorites because of the wonderful Froggie print :) After searching through this store, I found many prints that I think are beautiful, and I couldn't pick just one! So, I decided to combine many of them into a collage just to showcase Amber Alexander's beautiful work.

This artist has tons of prints made from her original watercolor paintings. They are all somewhat whimsical and completely beautiful!

These make me want to start reproducing just so I can hang some of these paintings up in a child's room!!

Introductions, introductions!!

Well, hello there! And thank you for taking the time to visit me and my blog.

A little bit about myself:

• My name is K.T.
• I am married to a wonderful man who makes me smile.
• I am a dreamer - artistic - moody - friendly - motivated
• I love nature.
• I am a tree hugger - and kinda a hippie too!
• I love animals.

My goal is to find many, many different designers and bring them to you. I know that there are already hundreds of blogs based on the sites that I am going to be using - but what I think is beautiful, many others will not. So you will most likely be able to find some things here that would suit your interests a little differently than other blogs. Plus - you will have to pleasure of getting to know me a little as well ;)
