Simply Beautiful

While snooping around on Etsy today I came upon this shop, Monellisa. She's a newer member of Etsy and has the sweetest watercolor prints. These are some of my favorites...

Find Love with a Handmade Bear

Clare, of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, has been creating these adorable bears for over ten years. She says each is made with love, care and attention to detail.

Also, check out Clare's SALE section on Etsy where you can receive 30% off and free shipping on select items.

I just love this Sock Bear!


This Gingerbread Bear reminds me so much of a beloved bear I had as a child!


And if bears aren't your thing, Clare also offers other animals like this white rabbit. Bonus! He's one of the sale items.

Just a Glimpse!

I'm getting ready to launch a totally new line of products to my Etsy and Bonanzle stores.

So far I have the beginnings of a line of ACEO backgrounds finished but not yet listed and I plan to include backgrounds in other sizes, scrapbook backgrounds, scrapbook images, collage sheets, and greeting cards. All of these will be available as PDF or jpeg downloads.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I am all ears.

For woodwork, I'm working on a line of smaller name signs that I will call "Name Plaques". These will be predesigned signs where just the person's name will be added once purchased.

These are some samples of the ACEO Backgrounds I've finished so far.

A Man of Many Talents

Keith Krueger, a single father, a shop owner, a self-proclaimed craft and art addict. An all around talented man.

In his Butterfly Bay Design shop on Etsy, Keith offers handmade apparel, home decor and graphic design.

Take a look at this gorgeous silkscreened shirt. I'd buy it in an instant if it weren't so hot here in Belize.



For all you art lovers out there, Keith offers this original oil painting on canvas entitled "Glorious Minnesota".



And a relatively new endeavor for Keith is his hand painted yarns.



For more of Keith's work please check out his other Etsy shop, Mindless Pursuits. He currently has handmade t-shirts listed that have the cutest sayings like "Coffee Zombie" and "I Am Awesome - Deal With It".

The Martini and The Sailboat

Do you fancy a martini on a sailboat?



These are the two newest creations sold through my Etsy shop, CoconutPalmDesigns. I really loved designing and painting these Personalized Name Signs and hope my clients love them as much as I do.

If you'd like a Personalized Name Sign for your little one please visit my Etsy shop or Bonanzle booth to purchase yours today!
