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!!

CritterJitters

Good day to you. I am just chilling around the house today, cleaning, laundry and getting everything ready for the week - while listening to Jack Johson *it's always better* mm mmm hmmm. . .

Anyways :P I found this cute, peaceful and full of nature shirt while browsing Etsy this morning. I feel it is natural, easy, and cute - once again with a nice little message attached - Peace <3
Peace Symbol Tshirt


"This one of a kind t-shirt features a very lovely image of a peace symbol done in a hand illustrated adorable fashion. The shirt is screenprinted by hand on a super comfortable American Apparel Tee from Critterjitters.

Peace Symbol shirts are sooo not 1960!

This ecologically conscious (water based inks) print is made on an incredibly soft Kelly American Apparel Womens 2102 Shirt. It was designed by the streetlamp hugging urban hippies here at CritterJitters.

There is no shame in promoting world peace by wearing this totally original, cool graphic tee design from critterjitters!"

In short, between finding a nice, peaceful shirt on Etsy and listening to Jack Johnson I am in a nice, mellow mood right now :)

Now it's Good People! "And all I really wanna know is Where'd all the good people go?"

LOL. Have a great 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.

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 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 :)

Ferguson Pottery

Happy Hump Day!! This morning I am veering away from the printed, and going into the glazed! Exitement, excitement! :)

I have found this BEAUTIFUL set of dinner wear that is handcrafted by Ferguson Pottery.

Ferguson Pottery is a ceramic artist working with low fire earthenware clay, slips, underglazes, thrown and altered forms, slump molds and more.
Her inspiration comes from a childhood obsession with textiles and graphic design. She loves working with clay and adores the decorative arts.
O'Lovely Dinnerware Set



"This set of dinnerware includes one each of the following: one dinner plate, one salad plate, one bowl and one mug. I also sell each piece separately if you are interested in individual pieces please convo me. As always my glazes are food safe and dishwasher friendly, thanks for looking!"

I love this peice mainly because of the nature theme to it. But it also uses different hues of blue, which always is a plus with me ;)
