When I was shopping for a new bedspread for my bed, I wish I'd known about today's Etsy shop. I have a feeling that I'd have been much, much happier with one of these beautiful handmade quilts that she has to offer than I am with what I ended up with.
You see, I love to sleep. It's my favorite time of the day, when I get to slide into bed under the weight of comfy blankets and burrow down into the soft warmth. Bed time is paradise.
And if you're like me or know someone else who is, when you take a browse through EveryStitch's shop, you're sure to be just as drawn as I am or find the perfect gift for that someone you've been shopping for.
Even without the need for a new bedspread, I'm still tempted!
This shop is filled with a variety of quilts, all made of 100% cotton fabrics, cotton batting and lots of love. They're created in a smoke-free, pet-free environment and each and every one is even carefully laundered once it's completed.

I'm a big fan of the romanticism of watercolors. Soft shades and imperfection blending together to create... perfection. This concept is both touchingly beautiful and intriguing to me.
This is also how today's artist caught my eye. Cynthia Callan isn't just ready for Valentines Day... in my eyes she's living it 365 days a year.
Her shop is filled with wearable watercolors and decorative ornaments of the same. Each one is totally unique and absolutely perfect; romantic and beautiful through and through.
Cynthia has a wide variety of watercolor pieces. In fact, I had a really hard time choosing which piece to show you in this post. Her site offers necklaces, pins, ornaments and stationary just to name a few. There's also a variety of designs available in lots of soft, beautiful colors.

Today's artist is Leisha over at CornerstoneLAE on Etsy. When I first discovered her shop, it was through the Etsy Voter where she had a beautiful card on display with a pop-out butterfly. It's delicacy really caught my eye and when I clicked through I found myself even more intrigued.
This shop is filled with earthy, fun and
fanciful delights that I find outrageously tempting. Cards, journals, bowls and more.
I was especially taken with the hand-bound journal pictured in this post.
It has wooden covers that have been burned with cogs on the front and finished with several coats of satin polyurethane to protect the original design image. 128 pages of high quality parchment. Coptic bound with waxed cord so that the book will lie flat when open. Yes yes, I'm in love, can't you tell? I'm a journal lover at heart and I just can't help it. I think it comes from my love of books but who can say?
I'm also really impressed with her basket weave bowls, she even has a few with feather trim for some serious fun! Leisha also loves to do custom work, so be sure to check her out!

Meet Nichole Ashton Atelier, an artist that really knows how to set a scene to show off her art. Just take a look at that living room in the picture for this post and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Is that not one of the most beautiful settings for a painting that you've ever seen? The painting itself? Absolutely gorgeous, of course, and the setting shows it off to absolute perfection.
Nichole's artwork is very diverse, too. And, she does custom orders. She'll paint portraits from photos, landscapes from your color swatches or any idea you may have! All you have to do is ask.
Like her artwork itself, her inspiration comes from many different areas. Everything from things she considers simple beauty to her surroundings in Louisiana and much more!
