The New Romantic Market

I am thrilled to announce that I have opened a shop at 1000 Markets. This venue is a beautifully designed shopping experience with juried artisan shops. Each market has its own theme. I am honored to join The New Romantic Market and to be in the company of such talented artisans. I love this market! You have to check it out! http://www.1000markets.com/groups/newromantic

Today's Featured Shop: Laua Trevey

Feast your eyes on these vivid watercolors by the talented artist, Laura Trevey. I had a lot of fun browsing her shop. I love them all but my favorite is Caribbean Flair, the bottom one. You can find these beautiful paintings and many more at: http://lauratrevey.etsy.com

Today's Featured Shop: Lizkinder

Today I'm excited to showcase the pottery of Liz Kinder because I think she is still undiscovered. She doesn't have many sales yet, but I'm confident she soon will! She is inspiring me to redecorate my kitchen. I just love the set with the white and the touch of yellow and green, very fresh and clean. You can find her at: http://lizkinder.etsy.com

Today's Featured Shop: Bridget Davies Emboidered Textiles

Today I am showcasing the lovely hand embroidered pillows, tea cozies, jewelry rolls and other treasures from Bridget Davies. Each of her pillows artfully tells a different story. My personal favorite, however, is the passport holder with the stacked suitcases. You can find her at: http://bridgetdavies.etsy.com.

Today's Featured Shop: Sandmaiden

Now that I've bolstered my art gallery collection in anticipation of the busy summer season, I am determined to get back to blogging. I have hearted many shops in the interim and I'm excited about giving them some well deserved exposure. Some of them already have some measure of success, but I post whatever appeals to my eclectic taste, regardless.

Today I bring you the exquisite clothing designs of Sandmaiden. I think her designs are sensual and comfortable, classic, yet modern. Enjoy! You can find them at http://sandmaiden.etsy.com

Today's Featured Shop: The Cool Puppy

Browsing the Just Listed category on Etsy this morning I came upon these brightly colored leashes and collars. They are unusual and whimsical and the prices are reasonable to boot! If you find these a little too foofoo I've included a well made leash that isn't embellished with the flowers. My male German Shepherd might prefer that one. But I think these other ones are much more fun. You can find these goodies at: http://thecoolpuppy.etsy.com

Today's Featured Shop: Glorious Glass Garden

Now that spring is finally here I have been hunting down items that would give my garden a little pizazz. I happened upon these lovely hummingbird and butterfly feeders. They are all fused glass and one-of-a-kind pieces. They would make terrific Mother's Day gifts. You can find these garden treasures at: http://gloriousglassgarden.etsy.com
