Fine art photography by Irene Suchocki. Eye Poetry Photography Italy

One of my favorite Etsy photographer's is Irene Suchocki.  Her shop is called Eye Poetry Photography.
I choose to share with you some of Irene's travel photography of Italy.  Here is a little bit about Irene as well as some links for you to explore.


"In my photography I combine my love of travel and place with a dream-like aesthetic to create visual poems that evoke a sense of magic, delight, nostalgia and romance. I love to photograph iconic places such as Paris, New York, and Venice in a way that gives the sense of having tumbled through a secret doorway into a previously unseen world. When I am not traveling, I turn to nature for inspiration and for subject matter, with a particular fondness for trees and coastal landscapes."

Owl Creek Ceramics on Etsy

You had me at Owl...

Hello & Happy Monday!  I have got some really unique pieces to show you from a ceramics shop on Etsy.  The name of this awesome shop is Owl Creek Ceramics.  Below are some of my favorite pieces along with some links for you to check out.  Special thanks to Dyna & John for letting me feature their shop :)

Owl Creek Ceramics on Etsy:

Owl Creek Ceramics on the web:

The also have a vintage & supply shop:

"When we started Owl Creek Ceramics we were both working full time in education and John was traveling a lot. We didn’t have that much free time, but we made a goal to spend at least a few minutes every day on our business. If we couldn’t actually work in the clay, then just thinking about it would count. It turned out to be a powerful goal and now we’re so immersed in it, it’s more of a lifestyle than a business.
Six years ago, we made a huge addition to our little studio and it’s our dream come true. It’s over 4,000 square feet! It’s right across the driveway from our house. We have a gallery area with shelves, a big beautiful check out /wrapping table that John made, and my giant decorating table that John also made and it’s on wheels. I look out onto one of our ponds and also see the rolling hills in the background. It’s a lovely view and it inspires both of us. We have open houses several times a year. It’s really more like a big get together where customers run into old buddies and meet new friends. We always have food and the studio looks its best. At Christmas, we bring in several trees and we have lots of poinsettias all over the place. I start decorating in the summer for Christmas and I love it.

I do all the decorating and have a blast thinking of new ideas and patterns. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks, Dyna"

Not For My Little Artists Under 21...

Great Hemingway quote, although please take this with a grain or a shaker of salt as I must note that Mr. Hemingway was a bit of a drunk who left this earth via suicide.  His tragic ending doesn't diminish his talent as a writer but should make you more cautious in taking any advice from him involving the juice.  Still I love this quote.




(Seriously though, don't write drunk, it never makes sense.)

Cute Makeup Bags by Since Sass

Hello all!  I did much of my Holiday shopping last season on Etsy and this was one shop that I was very impressed with.  Since Sass makes "handmade accessories & gifts like totes, pouches, and wine bags with a little sass." I gave my momma one of their pouches and I admit it was hard to not to keep it myself.  If you love retro vinyl and vintage oilcloth: Since Sass might be for you. :)

 Here are some of my favorites picks by Since Sass on Etsy.  To check out the entire collection for yourself, follow my link:
