Front Page of Etsy France!

Yesterday afternoon I received word that my snowy photo print made it's way onto the front page of Etsy France from the lovely Christelle.
It was her beautifully crafted treasury that made it all possible.

Her treasury is a Valentines day theme called
Valentine in Black&White (click through to view)

Yesterday was my day off and I spent part of it on the phone with an old friend who lives in the UK. I miss her so much. The other part was spent planning a get-a-way trip for me and L, and so far it's looking good!

Seems like were going to spend reading week at Mont-Tremblant thanks to a beautiful package found on Jaunt.ca!

Something Old Something New

Today I pulled out my parents old Kodak slide projector, drank tea, and sat in the dark basement alone with my pup. Clicking through the photographs gave me a sence of awe. Looking at my parents in their younger years, and all the vacations they took made me really feel inspired to create something new.

I fell in love with this pic of the sea my dad took. I decided to set up my Nikon D60 and tripod and take a picture, of his picture.

My dad seemed to lug his camera around everwhere.
It was an old Canon AT-1 with a huge Vivitar flash sitting on top of it.
This is a picture he took of a shore in Scotland in the late 70's
(I later edited it in Photoshop and had some fun)

The print is now available on Etsy for sale.

Hope everyone else had a nice relaxing day too!

A very simple and fun print for all to enjoy :)

Fashion Kills

Okay, So this isn't something you'd normally find on my blog, but I came across this petition tonight and just had to share it.

Everyone, The use of fox tails in recent fashions is completely immoral. It's inhumane and completely sadistic.
Real fox's are being killed for their precious tails... for what? To be hung from a purse, or belt loop... for a trend.

This company is one of the largest retailers of these fashion fox tails, and by clicking this picture you can sign the petition for change: to stop them from perpetuating this unnecessary act of animal cruelty. It really only takes less than 2 minutes. Just click this pic.


The funny thing is, faux fox tails come in some super cute colors and there are tons of Etsians who make them for sale!

Here are just two examples of some I've found in a quick Etsy search :)


Both are very cute, affordable, and did not result in the death of an animal!

Gold Dusted Butterfly Print

A lot of people are really liking my butterfly print, and it makes me so happy to see. I log into Etsy tonight and quite a few people Favorited it. YAY!

The communities are so supportive of these small successes too. Everyone knows how good it feels to have your art be well received, and everyone is so eager to cheer you on! I love it.

Hope everyone's nights going well!
later :)

Fairytale Girl

I created a new treasury called Fairytale Girl with pieces I've favorited recently, as well as some new finds.

You can view it here.

One of my favorite pieces from it would have to be this sparkly leather clutch made by Gift Shop Brooklyn. This piece inspired the entire collection and I would love to own it! It's so fantasticly perfect! I'm obsessed with its colors, and it's a pretty fair size for a clutch makeup bag. The leather strap is eloquently studded with a golden button, polishing off the look. It's been in my fav's for a while now and whomever ends up purchasing it will be happy I'm sure.

In other news, I'm stuck on the couch tonight with L and my pup, shadow. He's playing skyrim and I'm drinking tea.

Hope everyone is having a good night!

Etsy Listing Time :)

I just watched a really good documentary on dog breeding and the American Kennel Club put out by BBC. I didn't get a chance to catch the name of it, but it was super informative and really caught my interest on the spot. I always love a good documentary.

In other news...
I have a new photo for sale on Etsy!
I really love the background bokeh in this one.
