Happy Friday! I came across this shop last week and it just made me smile. UUPP's shop tagline reads "Happy Art For Happy Walls" and it couldn't be more perfect! What do you think?
Beatles inspired "OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA, LIFE GOES ON" Necklace, on 20" silver tone chain with clear glass bead embellishment. Entire design and words on pendant are handpainted. The background is a beautiful cool pink toned watercolor wash,.!

My daily Etsy picks for today are dedicated to my friend Christina who is amazing! She has excellent taste and after browsing her favorites, I think I favorited half of them myself. Christina is also a great artist and beader, she will be opening her own Etsy shop very soon. I actually am working on a blog at the moment that features some of her work, so expect that very soon. In the meantime, enjoy all of these lovely Etsy picks, picked out by Christina and then me and next probably you. :)

The reason why I am even blogging about this to begin with is because I have posted lyrics and poetry on my blog more than a few times already and I am always dancing on whether to post these particular lyrics…the song is “Yesterday” by the Beatles.The basis for my apprehension is because this song is attached to my first memory ever, hence I feel like I owe it some sort of fancy disclaimer but I don’t have anything profound to say. It is very simple, hearing this song really is my first memory and even when I try, I can’t remember anything before this.I remember being in the living room of a house, the one I grew up in, one that I am pretty sure doesn’t exist anymore and I was with my dad and we listened to this song on one of his old records and we were quiet after it was over and I asked him “Why is he so sad?”.I can remember my heart just breaking for the man singing this song and wanting to understand it.Now over 20 years later, I know that the man is Paul McCartney and that there probably isn’t anything on earth that I could do to make him feel better.But it is still the first thing I remember of my entire life and I love the connection it gives me to other people who have been changed by the music of the Beatles.It isn’t just my first memory, it is something I have attached myself to ever since and I’m not the same person anymore.So with all that said…here are some lyrics.
“Yesterday”
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

I have a 2 day sale going on for my Beatles necklaces, I also have a rouge Bob Dylan pendant in the mix. Anyways this is a "2 in 1" sale, which means you get 2 necklace options when you buy any 1 necklace. Just buy one of my Beatles necklaces and you will get an extra pendant (includes matching embellishments) that can be used on the same chain as the first one! They will be put on jump rings that match whatever metal your first necklace is in. Here are some of the pendants that you can choose from. These are just those that are ready made, you can also pick any other of my watercolor pendants that you find on my Etsy store that are made to order. Just let me know what you want for your extra pendant :)
