For the love of Etsy...

Doe Eyes by Birdy & Me

...will someone pls put a block on my computer? I've only bought a couple of things from this incredibly addictive site, but spend way too much time browsing it, checking out other recommendations and making up a huge wishlist of things I want. I won't list them all, but I will share this girl's works because it's my current fave. And because she's an Aussie! I don't get a lot of art, but I think anyone who can illustrate people and make them actually look like people is incredibly gifted and I think these are some of the prettiest I've seen. The artist's name is Kelly Smith, her business is Birdy & Me and I'm considering asking her to price me a pretty header for my blog, but I worry my content wouldn't do it justice! haha
Anyway, here is a little eye candy for you.


I love you, my deer

Aren't they beautiful? I love this mixed media thing taking over the art world. Some of them are so clever. Make sure you check out her work at her website, buy from Etsy (of course!) and peek inside her world on her blog.
In other exciting news, I hope to post my window-stencil genius tomorrow. Well maybe not genius - it was third time lucky today to get something on the window that resembled the pattern, but more on that later...
Guten nacht x

those are gorgeous! and I'm glad I'm not the only one totally addicted to Etsy. my husband is starting to worry about the packages that have started arriving at our house, and how much they might be costing him. Hey, thanks for adding Nesting Instincts to your blogroll! I'm a big fan of your blog you know!
