Midweek Motivation

I love being motivated! This week so far I've been working on my first Etsy shop. I've added a few new items, visited all teams (close to 60) and spent time making a treasury too. It's actually comforting to work on my Etsy shop; I'm "at home" on this site and even when the site makes changes as I'm visiting teams (like it did on Tuesday) and sharing the love, I still feel most comfortable there. It's good to feel the pull towards all the online shops I have to fix them a little bit and share with teams what's in them on Etsy.

On Storenvy, much of what is on Etsy is there too with more hand painted art work. I'm learning how to make Collections on the shop of my own items and those items I find to "Envy" and then put into a collection. This site is fun and even though there isn't much different in my own shop on it as there is on Etsy, I enjoy hanging out there.

The newest items in Etsy are:

Nautical Peace Sign - 10 Inches

Green Apple Bowl

 Next week is my birthday (on Sept 22 I'll be 60) and I've decided to celebrate a bit with a sale on art pendants. I've taken 20% off each pendant and am offering them at this reduced price for a week.

Sale on all Art Pendants

Now is a great time to get a few and tuck them away for future birthday's or the holiday's. These are casual and yet can make a special occasion just a little more special when you add one of these pendants.

I made a treasury featuring some 123team teammates and some awesome items from shops on Etsy. Check it out and comment if you'd like:

Oh Oh Let's Go!

On Storenvy, my favorite small art piece is this ATC sized acrylic:

Here's one of the items I have in a collection called "Bohemian". Click on this link to see my entire collection. This bracelet is from Lobster Pirate Jewelry. What a great name for a shop!

Treasury Fun

I've been creating a lot of treasuries this week. I like to make a treasury for the featured shop or some kind of collection if they aren't from Etsy. But now because I'm moving on (very slowly) from Etsy for new online venues, I'm making treasuries for each team I'm in as an homage for the time they have spent sharing my items. I'm sharing 2 here that I've made and one I was recently in as well.

Doing a search for "ombre" gave me the Trendy Tuesday Treasury items. Below the treasury are a few items from my mosaics shop on Etsy that fit fairly well into this category as well. Click on the links under each photo to head on over to Etsy.

Pass the Mustard, Please

I love the color yellow. In all hues. It's beautiful. I am going to have to use it more often in my work because it makes me smile. It's still not a good color for me to wear however according to a chart that tells me such things. But I'm almost at that age where it might no longer matter and I can wear it anyway just because I love it. Woo-hoo.

Here's a few items from my shops that would go nicely with the items above.

Trendy Tuesday

I've been making a lot of "thank you" treasuries and have many more to do as the days move closer to the weekend. This one is probably my favorite from the treasury making frenzy I had last night.

Enjoy the Moments

My contribution to the feel of the above items is on society6.com this week, using my photo "Red".

I'm setting my own trends this week. These items in the treasury below are all from my favorites.

Sunshiny Day

My contribution to bring some sunshine to our steel sky with no sun here in PA is "Bohemian Morning", filled with rays of mosaic love.

I've been meditating for quite a few years now and find it the best thing I do for myself next to my art. In honor of the blissful way I feel when I meditate, I dedicate this treasury.

Getting In The Gap

There are a few things I mosaic with meditation in mind. The newest would have to be "Sun Shrine In A Box".

Sun Shrine In A Box

Namaste.

I'm enjoying the colors showing up on Etsy this morning. Bright, colorful, spring-like. I love the muted simplistic tone of grey, black and white (and I did sneak in a few of my favorite examples here) but I have to say, this burst of color I found in the trends section is truly like breathing in fresh air. Enjoy.

"Be Happy"

Looking through my photo shop, I found some spring like things to share here to go with the spring-like trends. This photo is called "Spring Blossoms" and is available shown here in framed art prints, a pillow cover and a clock.

It's all about the little ones in our lives today. If you know of someone who just had a baby or is expecting, these items shown in my newest treasury would make a great addition to any nursery or child's room. In truth, many items would look great in a room for anyone at any age!

Don't Ever Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle

In keeping with today's trend, I am sharing my newest additions to my photo shop and the newest shop with a few switch plate covers too. :)

With Valentine's Day coming up on us quickly, I was thinking a few days ago about the men in our lives. I dedicated a treasury geared towards men on Etsy and thought I'd share it here.

Oh My Man, I Love Him So

Along those same lines, I have made mosaics over the years with the man in mind. In keeping with the color theme above, both of the bowls I've added mosaic to fit well here.
