Isn't That a Song Title?

Mary of DreamON creates some of the most beautiful art I've seen lately--and it's the perfect thing for me to admire while I try to unwind from clearing out our stuff in preparation for moving! And I love the name of her shop--her work inspires lovely daydreams!


Her original watercolor collage Reflections on the Arkansas is mesmerizing.


Underwater Acoustics, an original abstract mixed media piece, is calming and addictive to look at--I keep going back to it over and over again.


She also makes her work available on sets of note cards. Her Sunset Sail cards are lovely, and make it easy to share art with your loved ones.

The Beauty of a Sparkle Freak

I love wearing something that nobody else has. Dina Cuomo of Elektra Jewelry makes gorgeous, one-of-a-kind artisan jewelry pieces. A self-proclaimed sparkle freak, her love of all things that shimmer and shine adds the perfect touch to her unique jewelry.




One of my favorites is her For your Love bracelet, made with two strands of hessonite garnets.




Another favorite is her Amethystus bracelet, made with double strands of faceted amethyst beads and vintage glass.

The Clutter is Killing Me

For more years than I'd like to admit, I've been using a separate eBay store to clear out our collections of "stuff." Now we're looking at moving, and I really don't want to pack up these treasures and take them with us. I'm certain they'd be much happier in new homes with people who love them.

I've pulled out all of the treasures that aren't yet listed and am cutting prices on everything that's already in that store. Know a Star Wars fan? A war game collector? There are hundreds of CDs, books, games, and collectibles just waiting to be adopted, with new items added every day for the next week (or until I run out of treasures, whichever comes first!). Come have a look!

Lost Mitten: Just Plain Fun!

Lauren of Lost Mitten is a woman of many talents. A self-proclaimed video game addict, she knits, crochets, and makes some of the prettiest buttons I've ever seen. The buttons are created using Japanese papers: washi and Chiyogami (Yuzen). Have a look at a few of my favorites here, but browse through her online shop and find a fun collection of video game related items. Seriously, what gamer's life is complete without a set of Legend of Zelda coasters?
