Lazy Monday...

Well, I'm still not blogging yet to full capacity, but I'm working on it! The little one starting Kindergarten was rough for me, but I'm ok with it now. He's going three days a week-and that's just perfect! It was definitely one of those life-changing moments for me.

 Anyway, I'm sure many of you know but just in case you don't, it's LONNY day! The Sept/Oct issue is out and as always it's a good read. Hope you have a fabulous Monday!

Check it out....

It's a good day...

I'm starting to feel better (came down with a summer cold over the weekend). The breeze is cool and blowing the drapes around this morning, I love that. Just sitting here sipping a bit of tea with honey. Soon I will pack the boys into the bike trailer and ferry them down to the farmers market for some yummy veggies. I've got a hot tip about some scrumptious garlic and I've gotta get down there and get some for myself! 

Make sure and check out the latest issue of  Ivy and Piper magazine out today...

ETSY ARTIST FINDS.............SCANDINAVIAN IMPORTS

I can't even tell you how inspired I am by the artists I've found this week! I love the whimsical designs, fresh content and fun colors of these Scandinavian creations! You will be in love too! xoxo

SYKO- This wonderful collection of soft goods will have you swooning! Her work consists of sewn items like pillows,cards, and prints that incorporate fabrics and stitching. Her collections are playful, colorful and expertly crafted.


She recently published a book "Scandinavian Stitches" and writes about her work in more detail on her blog SYKO. Her blog has links to her work and Flickr photostream- can you say delightful?
Check it out for sure...

Laura Amiss- I know I've told you about this artist before(remember the tea party week?) Well, I just had to feature her beautiful work from the Netherlands in more detail. Her pretty pictures and perfectly stitched canvas pieces make me happy! Check our her website Laura Amiss, her flickr stream here, and her Facebook page here. It's worth the trip...

Majali Designs-You'll surely love the sweet designs from Maja-a graphic designer and illustrator from Sweden. Her childhood inspired pieces really speak to me-they are fun and whimsical but also have an emotional value-like a book-you SEE the story in her work. I'm hooked!

TTYR-This artist from Stockholm hand-carves stamps for her Etsy shop. She can customize stamps for you with the family dog, your house, kids-whatever! Her designs are simple and fun and there are lots more examples of her work on her blog-This is just to Say...Have a look!
