Hand-painted Glass Magnets to Dress Up Your Fridge

I found these beautiful hand-painted glass magnets in the Etsy shop SunnysWoodnGifts. Definitely a huge step up up from those magnetized business cards and other miscellaneous freebie magnets that are scattered all over my fridge.


The hand-painted image is actually behind the glass (instead of painted on the glass itself), so the magnet is smooth to touch and shiny.

Included in this post are some of my very favorites from Sunny's shop, but she has lots more, so be sure and check out her Etsy shop here.

Prices range from $7 for some of the single magnets, to $14 for some of the sets of 4. Sunny also has wooden key-chains and painted wooden magnets in her shop.


Love these blues!


And just had to include these as well; such great, earthy colors!

Mealy Monsters

Sometimes, while I crochet or work on some other project, I like to watch Flickr slideshows. I do a search for a particular term, depending on my mood (landscape, nature, crochet, crafts, etc) and then turn the results on slideshow. Put on some music, pick up my crochet, and I'm entertained.

That's how I came across these beauties. I had to learn more about them, so I followed the links to the MealyMonster shop on Etsy. These hand-sculpted art dolls are just so unique and funny, and strangely cute as well; I just love their expressions! The artist also writes short, humorous stories about each creature in her descriptions; something I always appreciate.

Here are a few of my favorites, but be sure and check out her shop for more!

Marvin and his Jack 'o Lantern:
























Marvin has a pumpkin friend, lately his friend had gotten a little rotten and his attitude, well let's just say, not so good.


Ace and his Dog:






























Ace found a dog
he had been looking for a snack
would go good with a side of frog
and maybe a six pack


Poor puppy! I guess even monsters have to eat though... Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Art From the Heart

I came across these gorgeous hand-painted tiles on Etsy the other day, and absolutely love them! So sweet and almost old-fashioned. Just beautiful!


















You can find this, and other beauties, at ArtFromTheHeartBySue. Sue not only has an Etsy shop, but is also a very talented muralist, and you can see some of her lovely work here.
