Friday Favorites ~ Episode 2 ~ August 5~

Although it is only Thursday, I am posting my Second Episode of Friday Favorites! A selection of talented female artists from Facebook who freely share their work, insights and humor. Their work inspires me, and makes me wish I could go on a shopping-spree!


Flor Larios ~ Flor Larios Art Etsy Shop
From her Shop: "I love to paint and create decorative art pieces for the home and for you to wear." Her beautiful artwork is also available on jewelry, art boxes, prints.
Personally I love the Madonna and Child theme to begin with, and Flor's are awesome. If I could choose only one of her prints it would definitely be 'The Winter Fairy' or maybe 'In Heaven with My Cat'. Visit her Shop and see what you think!

Friday Favorites ~ July 30th ~

There are so many talented female artists on Facebook who freely share photos of their work, their insights, their day-to-day stories, their humor and their ups-n-downs. I decided to do a "FRIDAY FAVORITES LIST" each week (on Friday of course) to highlight a few of these artists.

This first list is unabashedly biased-- my list includes my two daughters and artists I have purchased from. Nonetheless, these are all lovely, talented women who inspire me, and make me wish I could go on a shopping-spree!

Here is the list in no particular order!

Celeste not only has marvelous products, she provides helpful, insightful information as well.

Annabel Graham ~ Wearable Whovian Jewellery
From her store: "A Whovian is a fan of the British Sci-Fi programme Doctor Who and I am unashamedly one of them. I have always loved the show, with my first Doctor being Tom Baker."
As a recent new fan of Doctor Who, I not only enjoy her jewelry, but all of her marvelous FB postings as well!
