My Etsy Treats

There's a crisp chill in the air tonight and here is a peek at some of the treats I bought on Etsy!

this Sweet Bluebird is from 'Corid' on old pages .. will be back for more of her work..she has some neat owls too..

There are some awesome stores that offer downloads for artwork to do collages, etc..

' Shaving Kit' and 'Passion Fruits' are a couple of good ones..Love the items I got from them will be shopping here again! easy downloading too..and if you have problems they are great helpers!

A favorite artist is 'Bad Bird 'and here are a few samples of her work..hmm, 'the Owls' and that 'crazy Coffee Cup' has been calling me! and a neat 'little witch' too!

These 'Witch paper dolls' are so fun and 'Seneca Pond Crafts' is the etsy shop..a very helpful lady if you have any problems downloading, she has some fab Halloween kits! The images are very clear and sharp with rich colors..

This lady is new to me but just love her style and colors and all the crazy details.. she is in a new book 'Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed' you can buy on Amazon.com or from 'Barnes and Noble'... I'm going to go look for it there, when I go downstate..anyways, she has a website too: http://www.blondeblythe.com/'Blonde Blythe' on etsy... I got he Owl magnet..see more below.. love here tooth fairy..

Now a favorite is this 'Owl necklace.'.looks much nicer in person and came in a red box tied in gingham ribbon with a tiny tile... and just love it! will be buying more from 'Cherie Lewis' on etsy, love her card too.. Mammas Little Babies.etsy.com

Took pictures with some new Halloween magazines , this one is Matthew Mead's 'Halloween Tricks and Treats', nice pictures but more foods than crafts..

Bought these cute Owl earrings from Janie, a busy creative mom , who emailed me a awesome photo of guess what!? A 'Owl' painting she is working on..don't you love the sketch of the 'owl 'on the pkg. along with a great card.. and I'll be back shopping here! oh yeah, had to show you her Bat earrings and that cool owl painting..

Finally, a cool retro ad of eyes for you to do some creative stuff with..
