i love this idea for a thanksgiving gift... candles with an embellished matchbook - how nice! martha stewart, of course...

i just found a great gift for $10... icekabob trays! a good friend was approached by calliope to sell her work so i took a peek a what they've got... great gifts for the holidays and more – check them out!



i just love everything for sale at lovely sweet william!



kella macphee is fantastic! i just found her through etsy and wish i would have known about her before my own wedding! definitely check out her inspirational portfolio/website/blog...

sorry - couldn't help it... here's lucky little kitsune on her amy butler bed.

check out this crazy thing! i've been working on a decal for my friend's fishing boat which is kind of out-of-the-ordinary for me, but it actually is turning out to be tons of fun! he wanted a striper bass fighting a giant squid... and that's what he got. it was definitely a change from the usual fuzzy bunnies and cupcake stuff.
here's a new illustration logo i made for my good friend jen lindsay. she's started a small business called clothesline featuring tummy-time mats for babies, onesies and more! i'll post her etsy shop as soon as it's up!



i just received my new wooden postcards! my illustrations printed on maple veneer are now for sale at my etsy shop...

the art of matt klingelhoefer is my new favorite thing. i bought one of his paintings this weekend at the goggleworks arts market and it's freakin' radical! (i'll post a photo when i decide where to hang it) the one above is entitled donkey kong which also reminded me of my new favorite documentary king of kong : a fistful of quarters... it's amazing.



how cool are these collages by cabin+cub! i love everything about them...

can this be true!? check out spoonflower and be amazed!


i'm loving the world of cross-stitch! my friend kimberly of chezsucrechez makes the unbelievable pieces at the top (click the image for a better view) and i just had to include the cross-stitch obama pin by gallardoworks because it was so fantastic!

this sunday november 9th i will selling prints of my illustrations at the goggleworks... come on out and keep me company!

it's just too incredible to see this kind of history at our feet...


i love this style and color pallet... be sure to check out Danna Ray at Groundwork...
