Ashmae

I love these prints from Ashmae.  She does the perfet watercolors of animals, but I especially love her custom portraits.  I'm in the process of sending her a picture for a certain family member's Christmas present.  I can't wait to see what she does with it!  Here's some of her work:

Here's a custom house painting for someone.  Such a cute idea.

Check out her Etsy here.

Bijou Finds

What a weekend!  Bijou Market was Friday and Saturday and I spent most of both days helping Melanie with her booth.  Melanie's booth was a smashing success!  It was so fun to see the vendors plus see everyone who came to check it out.  I picked up more than a few items while I was there too!  Here's what I got:

Baby moccasins from Freshly Picked, naturally.

A shirt from Autumn Dame

A print from Sugar Fresh

And probably my favorite purchase...a wooden toy camera for Rilo from Twig.   I love wooden toys. Plus the best part about it is that the strap is the same exact fabric as my camera strap.  When I saw the houndstooth strap, I knew it had to be mine!

And of course, some of Melanie's perfect cards!

What a great weekend.  Can't wait to finish up some Christmas projects that I'll be sharing!

Bijou Market

I've been looking forward to the Bijou Market for the last couple of weeks.  I can't wait to grab some Christmas gifts!  They have the best of the best of local vendors with handmade gifts.  There's nothing like supporting locals!  Be sure to check out the blog to see a sample of the awesome products.  If you're in the area, you better be there this weekend!!

I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up a print or two from Sugar Fresh.   Love these!

Jenn Ski Prints

Really like the mid-century modern feel of these prints by Jenn Ski.  I'm still committed to adding more prints to my living room art wall! 

Prints

I need some art prints to put in some of my frames.  I have decided to find some that I took and have them printed.  Isn't it strange that we rarely get prints anymore?  At least for me, I can't really remember the last time I had photos printed!  Here's what I'm thinking.

I might also print off some of the free artwork available on Indie Fixx.

Does anyone else have problems with scheduling posts?  Sometimes my posts revert back to drafts, even though I hit publish.  I read that this has been an issue with Blogger for awhile now.  It's very annoying!   

We have some exciting things planned this weekend.  More about that on Monday.  Plus I can't wait to show the progress to our rooms! Happy weekend!

Moving Announcements

We made it!  Rilo and I landed in Chicago yesterday and met up with Adam at our new apartment.  Rilo was a dream...she slept the ENTIRE 3 hour flight.  I was so thankful!

We're only here for the summer, but if we were moving permanently, I would definitely be sending out little cards with our new address.  Here are some moving announcements I like:

Home is Where the Heart Is

Found these cute art prints from {Q.A.} Design. I think they would be sweet to have if you are far from home or just to show a little state pride. It looks like you can ask her for different colors and I think she's taking requests for other states.

I think I'm loving these too, because of the stripes. I've been working on redesigning this blog a little bit, and it's looking like stripes are involved.








Find them here.

Picture Wall

Our living room wall has a collection of photos and art prints. My goal when we first moved in was to keep adding to the wall so that nearly all of the wall was covered with prints. Sadly, I don't think we've added any frames since our first few months in the house! I have been browsing Etsy, looking for some new prints to hang. Here are some that I've found ( I'm apparently into prints with text these days):

This Etsy seller has a couple of cute prints I like and currently is having a buy 1, get 1 free sale!

I already have 2 of these peacock prints in my living room from Jen Skelley, but there is something so sweet about these prints, I wouldn't mind having a few more.

Colorbee has this Live, Laugh, Love print.

Happy Happy print

This shop is full of inspiring quotes. I also really liked her personalized prints that would be great in a nursery.

Love this house print. This shop is currently closed for a little bit while the seller moves, but I may have to check back soon.

This sellers prints have been heavily blogged about. I love all of the happy colors.

I think I just need to pick a few and start ordering! I'm open to more suggestions though...do you have any prints you are loving these days?
