You wont be dissapointed!

The FABULOUS Tiffini X has finally opened her gorgeous web~shop! OH. ME. OH. MY. No wonder it took so long, the site is absolutely incredible, and so very Tiffini.

I am the proud owner of this gorgeous necklace. I honestly wear it about 4 times a week, and I always receive a compliment when wearing this ethereal raven. Because she is so generous, and such a freakin' cool chick, I've received little surprises in the mail on and off over the past couple of years! I LOVE her beautiful and relaxing eye pillow (I keep mine in the freezer). I also carry around one of the most adorable pocket mirrors that was ever made.

CONGRATS Darling Girl!

I just adore Katie from Blackstar Jewlery. Since taking out my nose piercing I've had a hankering to wear earrings again. To celebrate, I bought my first pair in 15 years from her. She also sells BEAUTIFUL necklaces designed around vintage beads. Every once in a while she sells some of her AWESOME bead stash, so of course I popped over this morning and purchased some lovely vintage glass beads to use in my own creations!

And if you like to garden...you must visit her blog!

OK...I know I mention my Dear friend Kathleen alot, but the girl just can't seem to stop making beautiful eye candy! As I've mentioned before, I now have a little collection of three of her Par Avon pendants. (she spoils me so!) Now she has a new line, Spring Sparrow Pendants. *sigh* they are so lovely....I fear I might have to start collecting them as well! 

I am going to see her in Oregon at the end of August. Do you know how excited I am?? I have been saving for this trip for over a year! I just want to sit in her studio with her and make pretty things. that's it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN with the incredible art of Izabella. I love her blog, I love her wares! Visit her blog to see all of the different outlets where her art is available. Today, I went over to her Zazzle site and bought me up this majical t-shirt! I always crank up the volume when visiting her blog, as she's got the best taste in music evah'!

Dearest Susan Tuttle is a Maine Gal Pal who I met through blogging. So funny...we live less then 30 minutes apart! I've been to one of her shows in Portland, so YES, I do feel I'm extra lucky, as I got to view her work up close and personal! You can purchase her inspiring art directly or at her Etsy shop. She sells original art, mixed media prints, notecards and more.

She's a must see!

Flickr friend Abby Gabert recently opened her Etsy shop!! There you will find pin cushions and handbags made from groovy vintage & retro fabrics! Can you say, "FABULOUS FINDS" 10 times fast??? I can whenever I swing by and visit her.

Tammi, (another Maine Gal Pal I made through blogging) and I are off on an adventure at the end of the month!! We are taking an over night road trip to Beverly, MA.  to visit Mindy & the Gang from The Wish Studio!! They are having a launch party...and YOU ALL ARE WELCOME!

Tammi and I plan on antiquing our way to Mass. on Friday. Hanging out at the party Friday night, yard saling Sat. morning, and then visiting the Indie Designer show that afternoon!!

Speaking of the show, I am DYING inside! Mindy had asked me to be a part, but due to the overload of jewlery making for other projects, I just KNEW I could not do it. I am sad inside, but am looking forward to the adventure of visiting none-the-less! I just wanted to thank you Mindy for believing in my art, and for inviting me! NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW....I'd like to direct you to this cocky little post that Tammi wrote recently. MY reply to that is this.....

DEAREST Tammi....hmmmmm....I know you think you have hip-checking abilities beyond belief, but trust me, I am fast on my feet, and even faster when I spot a bargain. I have tossed men three times your size out of the pub, with only my bare hands, and sheer grit. If I spot a bag of vintage lace, a jar of old buttons, or bundle of magazines...they are MINE, MINE....ALL MINE!!!!!!!! And if you are very lucky, I just might share.

he.he.he. (that's supposed to sound evil)

Thankyou from myself, and all of these incredible artists for supporting Indie Art. We couldn't pull it off without you.

Hi there Jes!

Thank you for dropping by! I have been spending a lot of time on your site this week and have very much enjoyed the links you have shared thank you!! I am super excited about CAC and am also excited about connecting to artists closer to home. Is there a Maine artists online group or anything like that you participate in or just through blogging?
