featured artist: skunkboy creatures.

This will officially mark my first artist blog feature, but I think it is beyond deserved.

I came across this Etsy shop the other night, and I knew it was something I had fallen in love with when I immediately added it to my list of hearted Etsy shops! While I can't quite afford to purchase one of these bad boys at the moment, I'm hoping to very soon! The only trouble is which one I would choose!

So, Steppie's first artist feature?
skunkboy creatures.

A few photos of some of their work:

"Nels the Narwhal"

"Polly the Owl"

"Marbles the Penguin"

Aren't these little bad boys to die for?
Definitely going on my list of things I want to buy this holiday season. For who, you ask? Well, for me, of course! (;

Comment and let me know what you think of skunkboy creatures!
And let me know if this is something you would like to see more often!

the art zoo.

Good thing for Google Alerts, because I just found another one of my items featured on a blog!

This time on a photoblog featuring handmade products by independent artisans and crafters, called The Art Zoo!

In other news, there are TONS of things going on for me this week.

1. Preparing for an open home boutique, which will take place on Saturday, September 13th! Come out if you're in the OC area! It should be tons of fun. Aside from the other fabulous vendors selling their excellent goods (art, jewelry, bags, make-up, and even cookies!), there will be free taste testing, snacks, refreshments, and raffles frequently throughout the day! :)
2. Preparing for my sister's friend's baby shower this coming Saturday. I'm helping my sister with preparing some of the decorations and activities, so that should be exciting!
3. And, of course, stocking up on new inventory like a crazy woman...

Some of my new little babies?
"Flight" wooden framed mirrors, cute clothespins, tote bags, more journals, more paintings, more buttons, and so, so much more! I've been resisting from putting these goodies on my Etsy shop because I want to save them for my show on the 13th. But I'll take some time out to post them on my blog so you can see my new projects!

Anyhoot... back to work! Leave your comments. :) They keep me going!

perfect timing.

Let's talk a little about perfect timing...

Considering how much I have on my plate right now, I usually don't have the time to check out all of my favorite blogs regularly (check them out on my sidebar!)... but lo and behold, I decided to dedicate some time tonight, and came across an entry from loveretrocolour that was shocking! But quite pleasant, to say the least!

Ta-da!

A little feature on my "Oh, Deer" Greeting Cards!

To be honest, I've been a little stressed lately with how much I want to do, and how much little time I have to do it. But this little unexpected shout out was all I needed to keep me motivated! Thank you so much, love retro colour! Check out their blog, as it's a fun and exciting one that is frequently updated! :)

Ah - the simple things in life that really make each day a little bit better.
...Or a whole lot better. :)

I GOT A SPOTLIGHT!

I recently got interviewed by CharmedJewellery.etsy.com and she recently put my spotlight on her blog! Much love to her for helping me spread word about my shop. :)

Check out her Etsy shop (CharmedJewellery.etsy.com) and blogspot (http://charmedjewellery.blogspot.com/)!

I should probably feature a few of my favorite sellers on my blog... oh, who could it be?! I guess you'll have to wait to find out!
