SALE!


So yes I am plugging my shop yet again...baby needs a new pair of shoes!  I marked all of my scarves down at least 40%!  So check it out, I love them, but they gotta go!  I am just tired of the look of winter.  Spring is directly around the corner and I want to welcome it with open arms...and neck.  So I don't really need scarves for that.  I know they will be a necessity again next winter.  So buy them now save them and it will be a little surprise for the start of next winter!  Ok so I am done, hope you are having a wonderful spring day!

Poor Guster


Our siamese cat Guster is very neurotic.  When we first set up the nursery and kicked him out of that room he started pulling out his fur.  After Emma was born his tail was almost bald.  After this last vacation we came home and his back is now bald too.  Poor cat, I am not sure what to do!  But this whole blog doesn't have to be about a cat, how lame would that be...hmmm?  It was so nice here today, it was 40ยบ and the snow was melting.  Pretty soon I will be back outside and I cannot wait!  The gallery is fairly slow right now, but we are going to have a new show coming up.  Kelly Thompson is next and I can't wait to see his work.  Ok that is all I got!  Have a great day!

Jak Random Art and Design


Today I am going to talk about a great shop I have found on Etsy!  Jak random art and design.  The jewelry with found imagery is fantastic.  The bracelet featured was made from recycled, items, including vinyl records.  The title is bicycle built for two, it runs for $15.00.  I am in love with this bracelet.  This shop has great variety of bracelets, also some great prints.  If you need an original gift, or just love funky jewelry you need out check out this shop!  Go to www.jakrandomart.etsy.com, you will love what you find!

Becka Boo


The first Etsy artist that I would like to feature is Becka Boo.  She has great baby onesies, baby  bibs, monster cards, and personalized baby and parent t-shirts!  I think she is a great talent and has a wonderfully colorful shop.  I am going to focus on her very original idea of tatto t-shirts personalized for parent and baby, very clever right?  The nice thing she does is allow you to put it on your own tee, so you can just order the transfer!  I say if you need baby gifts, or just love looking at a fun shop, check out beckaboo.etsy.com!

I'm Back



I am sure everyone has wondered, why no new blog?  Well I have returned to the land of snow. I loved the Caymans, but I did miss Emma.  I had such a relaxing time, learned to snorkel, parasail, even swam with stingrays!  I have to say the people of the Caymans were so friendly.  The water was the most beautiful teal.  I snorkeled and found several great conch shells and 2 sand dollars.  They actually did survive the trip back to Grand Forks!  My tan is starting to fade, but I can't wait to go back.  While I was gone the gallery was closed.  The day after I got home we put up a new show and had a gallery opening. It was a bit hectic to get right back to work, but the new show is great.  I am going to feature some exciting Etsy artists for my next couple of Blogs.  So enjoy and happy shopping!
