Victorian-esque Collage

Pretty pretty! This charming print is by Arizona artist Linda Norton and I found it in her Etsy shop.

Spooky Bag on etsy!

Wow! This little handmade bag posted on Etsy is constructed from fabric printed with an artist's charmingly spooky illustration on it. The digital painting is called "Pumpkin Harvest Day" and the artist is Lavennz Ooi Sin Yee. The seller, Julia, is from the UK and her shop Uniquely Different is full of unusual and affordable bags! More wonderful paintings by the artist, who is located in Malaysia, can be seen in her personal Etsy shop, where she includes a sweet little story or poem in her picture descriptions.

"Pumpkin Harvest Day: The girl named Anna, wearing black dress and her mood is very down because she was thinking of her parents that had passed away for a few years. Her parents left her a pumpkin field, where they spent lots of wonderful moments there. And today, another pumpkin harvest day. Anna carved the pumpkins, made them into lanterns and stand with these lanterns in a nebulous forest. She believe that the fairy tale of magic pumpkin lanterns can give her a miracle, let her meet her parents again....."

Wise Leaf photo shoot

Finally the weather is warming up (hooray!) and I find myself dog sitting for the third time this month. The house has a great little yard and I've got some free time, so I staged a Wise Leaf and Cheerful Acorn photo-shoot on location! The yard is nice and sunny, I may take some more ornament pictures tomorrow.

Dog Rescue!!

I just spotted this little fellow listed on Etsy. I LOVE antique dog and cat toys! I wish I could rescue this cute terrier, because the seller is extremely optimistic if she thinks he's going to sell for $175 (even with a neat springy neck and magnetic nose/bone accessory)-- he'll be hanging out for a while. Well I can't afford to adopt him, but I can at least enjoy these photos! The listing can be viewed here.
