Paco+Lupe

I was perusing Etsy last night and avoiding doing cleaning for more house showings when I came across some GORGEOUS pillows from Paco+Lupe. Not only are the pillows to die for but the shop, run by Celia Cruz, is from Montreal. Yay Canadian!!! So go check out her store, where she also sells cool bags and pretty quilts.

Sharing some etsy lovin'

I love etsy and I love the artists you find there. Thought I'd share two that have really caught my eye. The first is Danna Ray and her store groundwork. I found her work when she contacted me after I opened my shop. Love her work. She sells original paintings and prints and I just can't pick a favourite.

The second artist I want to share is Jaime from Design Milk and her store Milk Art. Some of you may already be familiar with her work. I love it!
P.S. While you're at it check out Jaime's latest project on her flickr. Beautiful drawings daily in her moleskin.

New in the shop

Instead of working hard on my posts for this week I have been creating new things for my etsy shop. I would like to thank all those people who have purchased prints, faved me and all of you who have dropped by. I really appreciate it!

Shameless plugs

It appears Jo and I are embarking on some pretty big ventures at the moment and I wanted to take the time for a little shameless plug for each of us. Let's start with me, since I have a wee bit more at stake. My house is up for sale, and I'm really proud of ALL the work we've put into this place. But it's time for me to move on. So if anyone out there is looking for a townhouse renovated and decorated by yours truly in Ottawa (Kanata actually), send me an email and I'll give you more info. Some photos are below (click them for bigger and better view).

Jo has recently opened her Etsy store and it's stocked of some of the most amazing artwork. She is so freaking talented. And I am so fortunate to already own several of her pieces. I'm like a proud Mom. The first two are photos of ones I own, and the other two she has available in her shop, that I am also itching to own.

Open for business

Yes it's time for the shameless self promotion. My etsy store Desire to Inspire by midcenturyjo is open at last. Please drop by and take a look. I'll be updating regularly with new work!
