I just found this lovely hand-pulled screen print from the Bold and Noble Etsy shop. Made in England and available in Red or Candy Pink, I think this art print says it all.
Print available for $47.00.

Wouldn’t it look lovely in your house?

I was happy to read that Obama is calling for Monday January 19 to be a national day of service, in addition to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. You can read a brief article about his call to service here.
I am interested to see if he will use the energy and excitement of the millions of people backing him to mobilize us to do things to help our country, and it seems like he will. Even though I work that day, I am going to try to do a little something by donating books to the local Head Start Program, which is a day of service idea I found listed here. There is also this MLKDAY website with thousands of ways to get involved in some project in your area.
My mom also sent me a link to Seth Godin’s blog with a list of 18 of his own ideas. (Thanks mom!)
Let’s do something positive to kick off the new Obama administration!

Holland Fabric House is located in the Netherlands and makes these sweet fabric wreaths. # 1 Red Wreath with Blue Bird and # 5 Wreath with Polka Dot Heart are each $40, # 7 Blue Boy Wreath is $30. # 2 is a Fresh Holiday Wreath for $85 from jnereveal. # 3 is a fun Starburst Wreath for $25 from Meccasheaven. Yum! Check their store for more candy wreaths!

# 4 Light of Stars and # 8 Wreath of Knowledge are great looking are paper wreaths from Haru in Albuquerque for $85. Lastly, # 6 is called Les Citrons for $120 by Fantasy of Flowers.
It is hard to decide which one(s) to get, isn’t it?

I saw this sweet little shop featured on Etsy’s front page while I was surfing Etsy rather than working on my database manual (naughty) and I think it is rather special.
LeiLiLaLoo is the Etsy shop of Dana Komjaty, an Amsterdam based designer and mother of a 2 year old, who enjoys creating everything she can, from hand-painted ribbon, house pillows, paintings, fabric, hand-painted banners, to woodblock and beeswax art. She went to the Royal Academy for the Arts in her 20’s and emerged with a degree in pattern design and illustration. She worked as a freelance pattern designer until the birth of her son. Now she creates whimsical designs for her Etsy shop. Take a look….

House pillow $45, Lavendar pillows $10, hand-printed ribbons $10, City under Clouds $22, hand-painted Fabric $18, and more House pillows $45.
All her creations are very unique, and have a nice mix of nubby linen, bright fabrics, and fanciful designs. They are quite beautiful (and very reasonably priced).
If you like Dana’s art, you can see her artwork and read more about her on her website leililaloo.com or on her blog.
