An Eerie Dream

I recently happened upon SwanBones, have you seen them?

I love the pretty, eerie, dreamy quality of her work. 

And isn't the name, SwanBones, just perfect for the shop?

Animal XRays

I stumbled upon Strawberryluna when this print caught my eye:

Even before realizing that its part of an alphabet series,  I loved it.  Elephants are my fave and I love the way this is kind of cutesie-morbid. 

Check out the rest of the alphabet series, what's your favorite letter?

Umbrella Finch

I came across this print in my Suggested Shops and am completely in love!

This little guy is so cute in his rainboots and red umbrella!  I have always loved birds, even the multitude of pigeons here in Paris always catch my eye.  I do not think I would like to keep one as a pet, however, I feel like they shouldn't be caged. 

Corrabelle is mainly a shop selling the cutest rubber stamps, but I also find her watercolor prints very adorable as well.

Color and Inspiration

What inspires you? Is it the way you feel at a given time? Something somebody says? Music? A picture? For me, its color. I love color. Yes I think those grey backgrounds and muted tones are chic and sophisticated a lot of the time, but I couldn't live like that, I need color! Color in my house, color in my clothes, color in my food.

stephaniecorfee might be able to help me out with the color in the house part. I absolutely love her shop and want to put it up in the house we're moving in to in a few weeks. I want to carry it around with me and show everyone so they can be inspired too. But I guess posting some of my faves here will suffice for now, won't it?

As always, clicking on the pictures will take you to the listings in her shop :) And please feel free to share your inspirations in the comments!

'Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.' - Warren Buffet

I love trees. Especially the big leafy ones, the leaves bring fresh green, sometimes flowers in the spring, provide lush joy through the summer and paint the ground with awesome colors in the fall. Even in the winter the trees can look so magnificent and gorgeous. I want to enjoy trees for decades to come, and I want the next generations to enjoy them as well. So please go plant a tree :) any kind of tree!

She Remembers a Time by SherriConley

You know I studied too much when...

the first thing I think when I see this picture is "What is the tension factor in the first rope given that the rabbit has a mass of X and the chick has a mass of Y with a kinetic friction coefficient of A and the little girl is pulling at a constant velocity of W..."Yea. I had a physics test today. Couldn't you tell?

But seriously, the prints in naokosstoop are seriously cute and I think they would be perfect in just about anyone's home, no matter your age :)

Good NightFeels Like Yesterday

Friday Feature on Monday -

So because we adopted to little puppies (see post below) on Friday, I didn't get a free minute to post my Friday Feature so I'm posting it today!

The photography in JenniPenni's shop is amazing. Its simple, fresh and occasionally moody.

This young woman from Finland has a keen eye for colors and knows how to portray an attitude.

Head on over to see all of her other amazing prints, and, as always, clicking on the above pictures will take you to the listing in her shop :)

Day Dreaming

*Sigh* So you all know that my ultimate ambition is to have my own yarn store slash tea/coffee bar in southern Colorado somewhere someday.

Well, when this dream comes true I will, of course, need some aesthetics to keep the place fresh and inviting and I came across this print by toadbriar on Etsy and it is definitely one that I will need for my shop. No question.
It may just be the first piece of artwork that goes up on those walls :)
