Front Page! and Jerry the Owl

My Monday morning was made a little brighter when I saw my "Picnic" on the front page of Etsy! Here 'tis:

Thank you so much to the lovely SisandBro all the way from Cyprus for creating this awesome picnic treasury! xo

Also, Mary of ArtTales let me know she featured my "Beach Calm" on her Managing Monday blog post (it's beautiful, I'm really adoring that raining lemonade)...Mary's line of recycled Stuffies with one eye recently was featured in the July issue of "Stuffed" published by Stampington. My fave Leftz stuffie is this one:

Meet Jerry,  a stuffed owl with one eye made of repurposed/ reclaimed materials (including stuffing made from old plastic bags!) According to the shop: "Jerry the Owl is a vegetarian. Mostly because his best friend is Hardy the rat. He enjoys eating fruit and carrot sticks."  You can shop Jerry and his friends on her shop here!

And here is a new blog, Let's See Etsy, which featured two of my Orchid prints taken at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida in a lush, tropical-inspired gallery.

In the next few days, I'll be posting some pics from Preeti's visit to Rhode Island! Preeti is on our team for the Female Photographers of Etsy and hails from New Jersey, she came to visit friends and we met up for a day in Newport! ;) Here is a preview:
