4 Things I Want Right Now...

..."The Bird" - print by Favorite Stories, Deer Head Necklace from Patch NYC, Intersection print by Ashley Goldberg at The Shiny Squirrel (a new indie shop you've got to check out), Kuest Lace-up Pump by Steven by Steve Madden at Piperlime. 

Tiny-Mine-y

Look at this fabulous print by Josh Keyes that I just scored over on Tiny Showcase!  Hurray!

I'm super excited because last week the site froze on me while I was trying for the Ray Fenwick "Somewhere Better" print ... and the week before I completely missed the Julie Morstad "Gluttony" print (a serious kick myself over and over-worthy loss).

In addition to the glee of owning fabulous art from incredible artists... you can feel even better, because for every print you purchase the artist donates a portion of the profit to a charity of their choosing.  This week Josh Keyes chose the National Alliance on Mental Illness... an extremely important and worthy cause!  Thanks for the feel-good shopping Josh and Tiny Showcase!

If you want a chance to snag some truly fabulous tiny art for your home be sure to sign up for notices from Tiny Showcase on their homepage here.  Good luck to you... you're going to need it!

Just in time for holiday crafting...
