A Few Good Things: 09. 25. 07

Today's post was inspired by this lovely "You Are the One I Want Most of All" - Print by Project8256.  All the proceeds from every purchase made in her shop goes into a fund to help her sister and brother-in-law adopt a child from Ethiopia and to AHOPE, an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that cares for HIV+ children.
Check out her shop here and her blog here.

In Good Company: Things are Better with a Parrott

I came across these beautifully printed cards, tags, and prints by Things are Better with a Parrott... (after Sarah favorited my new etsy shop... thank you Sarah!).  Apparently you may all know of her through some other popular blogs, so I hope you don't mind my sharing her work again today.  I'm especially fond of the Autumn Leaves Screenprinted Card - set of two.  The mixture of colors is perfection, and it looks as though there is actual sunlight filtering through those leaves!  See all of her work here, and read her blog here.

Hot Potato

I just heard about the newly opened online shop: Three Potato Four (via the lovely sfgirlbybay blog)... and I'm just loving what I'm seeing.  Stop on by and check them out... and snag your favorite one and few-of-a-kind indie and vintage finds before they're gone!  Also make sure to check out their blog right here.

Art I Love: 09. 13. 07

Does this week seem to be flying by too fast for anyone else, or is it just me?  I can't believe it's Thursday already!  Anyhow... here's a sampling of a few fabulous etsy artists.  Check out each of their links for additional works and purchasing info. xo
