etsy favorite: cmedesign

A girl after my own heart, this turtle lover's creative equivalent is a mockingbird, of which I've raised three, and she finds inspiration in little treasures that can be recreated into her own little beauties! Not only are her creations beautiful (I own a pair of earrings and a bracelet from her), but they're unique and perfect for those who like color. Two thumbs up for the sweetest person on Etsy! These are some of my favorite current and sold items from cmedesign.etsy.com.

shell to home

When my husband and I bought our first home, our current home, I don't think we fully understood what we were getting ourselves into. Little more than damaged walls, windows and doors, our shell of a home turned into, after a year of work and a little more to go, our pride and joy! After doing a little house cleaning yesterday, I thought I'd take a few pictures of my little palace! Filled with antiques, etsy items and my original prints, it's my favorite place to be!

framed

Although I take and print enough pictures for three (possibly seven) lifetimes, I just can't resist buying prints from other talented artists! While I have enough wall space to keep me busy for the next few years, I don't have nearly as many frames. Call me picky, but not just any frame will do. I love the detailing of the vintage frames, especially gesso! So until I can find the perfect frames for my new prints, I'll just have to enjoy looking at them on their temporary home, my desk

"Grace" 8x10 print by the talented kellya on Etsy.

"Victorian Dreams" a beautiful TTV 7x7 print full of vintage charm from 7e9ah, also on Etsy.

my day in polaroids, monday.

Just a regular 'ol Monday, nothing too terribly special. It's a chilly, rainy day that forces me to stay inside.

Used some toothpaste from a new tube, which is ridiculously exciting to me!

I love the vintage feel of the new runner my hubby and I got yesterday for the entrance foyer.

Since it's springtime and everything is blooming, I've been sneezing like crazy today.

And of course I've spent the entire day with my beautiful baby, Miss Flojo!

another home for dinosaur toes

Since I've had some non-etsy members and possible brick & mortar shop owners join etsy just to contact me, only to leave their accounts untouched afterward, I figured I'd make myself a little more accessible (and hopefully a little more visible). So I made myself a website! There are still some little changes I want to make, and I still have to register my official domain, but here's a peek of what I have so far, what do you think???
