I Break The News

If we can not travel much let's make the home more colorful, right on time for Autumn! Creative thoughts happen in creative spaces after all. Etsy is a space like that. We like products that are handmade and only available there, sold directly by the creators. Check out this small selection of items you can find on their marketplace. We have dabbled in RESIN jewelry before too, sounds like another online store waiting to happen!  🤔  Could also be included in Miss Gatsby. We shall see. So many possibilities! Also check out Etsy for creative gift ideas. Surprisingly enough - Christmas is not that far away. How did this happen?! Now seriously, can we travel again.. Thank you for stopping by here today. all images  © Etsy.com

If we would only have the patience to craft something amazing like this ourselves or the gift for delicate handwork .. but we have not. Good that there is an  Etsy shop  for it, where we can buy the items from someone who HAS the patience and talent to put together Resin jewelry with real flower petals and gold flakes inside. Every item a unique piece and a demonstration for your love of nature if you should decide to get one. The name of the Etsy store is: LivinLovin and here is the link . Go there now to see the gorgeousness for yourself and maybe get one little ring or some earrings as a special Christmas gift for the jewelry lover in your life! Christmas is coming!! all images  ©  LivinLovin

We LOVE our planet, nature and the wild but you may have already noticed that while browsing this blog. Somebody who also loves nature and obviously all things floral, is the artist behind this cool idea. His name is Nicolai Tolstyh and today is a good day to discover his work, for example on instagram . This self described journalist, bibliophile, art lover and natural craftsman is based in Russia. If you take a look at his fine and very detailed cutouts, and the final photo result, you can see he is taking the time to find the right match in the background, for the theme of each silhouette individually. All his captions are in Russian and we would be able to tell you more about this artist, if only we would have paid just a little more attention to Russian class back in the day. However. Inspiring idea! all artwork  ©  Nicolai Tolstyh

You know what? Since three days it is officially Spring! Trust me - I have googled it. :) To celebrate the occasion, we want to introduce you to an Instagram artist, who knows a thing or two about flowers. Bridget Beth Collins is a self proclaimed Botanical artist , painter, writer, nature lover and light seeker. Her creations will light up your day if you decide to follow her instagram account .  Based in Seattle, Bridget who has 3 little boys and is wife to a coder husband, describes her project Flora Forageras as 'a product of my love affair with glittering nature, and my own artistic skills honed over the years. Creation and Creator combined.' If you just can not get enough of these stunning florals, there is the option of buying an original from the artist on her website . Inspirational!
