art goodies

November 19, 2008

I love to have a few of the little dishtowels from artgoodies in my cupboard to give as hostess gifts. They are so sweet, and are tied with a green satin ribbon. I can’t have any of these cute towels to use in my own kitchen, because a particular family member {AHEM} has the tendency to take towels and use them for counter-wiping, or as a dirty-hand scraper-offer. Oh well! Creator Lisa Price also has sweet aprons, little pillows and ornaments. Check out her Etsy shop as well!

this place is like a zoo.

Zooguu {by sweetest pea} is a site filled with adorable plush all handmade for you by Jen and Brian Gubicza. My very favorite is the little penguin. So so cute! Shh…don’t tell my niece…this will be part of her Christmas present! She also has a shop on Etsy.

we have a winner!

I love Michele Maule’s artwork. My very favorites are the typewriters {I have a bit of a thing with old typewriters}. I love her colors, the mixed media pieces and her self portrait series. Love love! She has a really cool site too…with a little Sigur Ros playing as you flip through her portfolio {perfect music to art pairing, if you ask me}. You can buy her work on her Etsy shop. You can’t beat being able to buy a piece of original art starting at $50. Take down one of those posters on your wall, and put up something unique.

simple and lovely.

Anne Kiel, from Austin, Texas makes one of my current very favorite necklaces…the waterlily {above center}..it’s so so pretty! I love her simple, organic shapes. I typically buy one necklace, and then wear it every day until I just can’t take it anymore. Anne Kiel’s designs are perfect for that!  So, let’s just say that I’m open to receiving gifts from her shop…in case you feel the need to buy me something sweet!
