Hearts for Haiti From Etsy Shops
My fellow Etsians have organized this wonderful shop on Etsy that benefits Doctors Without Borders. Shop and/or donate! Wow!This is really an amazing endeavor, which took much organization to get up and going. I have been following the concept as it arose on an Etsy forum. Despite all the hurdles, they have really made it happen!

Handpainted Silk Scarves with an Ethnic Flair from Wearable Art by Heather on Etsy
WearableArtbyHeather on Etsy
Today, I ran across these lovely silk scarves on Etsy by a New Hampshire artist. I was especially taken by her ethnic batik designs. Here is a bit about the artist edited from her profile:
Heather was born in Southern Africa and grew up in a small town called Bulawayo in Zimbabwe. All of her life she had the privilege of being surrounded by artists and musicians infusing the flavor of Africa into her three decades as a textile designer. These influences are woven into the color and design of each scarf so that it truly evolves into a one-of-a-kind creation of wearable art.

Spring "Plannings" in Blue
I am not sure if it is the "Efflorescence" painting I posted the other day or the fact that the forecasted high temperature for Friday is only 9 degrees fahrenheit, but today I have been dreaming of my gardens.
Whenever I have had the big idea that I am going to save some money and grow some plants from seed indoors, they usually don't last very long. I either forget to water them, or I do not transplant them fast enough. However, I have had luck with seeds that I can plant directly in the ground.
Below is a picture of some of the pots on my deck last summer. (Notice the blue theme.) Because of the "Efflorescence" painting, I know I will be looking for those lovely Green Envy Zinnias this year. The Midnight Blue Salvia is usually easy to find.
Other than my perennial plantings, I cannot say that I have ever "planned" my gardens. What usually happens is that I purchase as many different kinds of blue annuals that I can find. Then, I go back to the greenhouses for the different colored and textured "fill ins" I need. I guess I do sort-of plan things as I go along, because I do pay attention to light needs, size, color and texture, but they are spur of the moment decisions vs. pre-planned.

"Efflorescence" Painting by Etsy Artist, Stephanie Mealor Corder
"Efflorescence"
by Stephanie Mealor Corder
Alright. I have to admit that I have fallen in love with this painting. It is only 8"x16", but you would think it is larger because of the detail. (I was surprised at the size when I looked at the description.) My mind is panning the walls looking for the perfect spot for it to hang in our house. Just looking at the listing makes me smile. It is so cheerful!
To make this an even more tempting purchase, shipping is free for US Residents.
Stephanie--Etsy seller stefny68--says that most of her paintings come from pictures she has takes of her garden. This particular painting features a Green Envy Zinnia framed by Black and Blue Salvia. She also offers lovely little cards with this image, which I will definitely purchase.
ETSY MINI ARCHIVE - 1/2/10
Just a reminder...
If you click on the image above, you can enlarge it. The Etsy seller ID's are also easier to read. (The seller's ID is listed on the second live before the price.) You can do a seller search on Etsy if you would like to find that seller and his/her items.
To do a seller search, you need to type the seller ID name in the Etsy search box, then select sellers instead of handmade from the box to the left.
Oh, and the link to Etsy is the big orange square in the upper right-hand corner of this blog. =)

Your guests will find their drinks easily and the host can relax and enjoy their own party.
