Item: ”Walk through the Rain”
Seller:  rachelledyer

It’s a rainy day in my neck of the woods today, so I wanted to share this Etsy painting I came across!

This acrylic painting (selling for about $74.00 USD) is 16 inches by 12 inches acrylic on artist board.  I absolutely love it!

The seller included this quote in the Etsy item description:

“Don’t wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain.”

Off to dance!

Item: Summer Posies Painting
Seller: linneaheide

Something that’s really cool about shopping on Etsy.com is that there are great artists that make art affordable and accessible.

My walls are pretty bare at my condo, and I thought it would be pretty cool to spice it up.  I came across this Etsy shop (called linneaheide) that has an awesome section called “Paintings Under $100“.

I thought you guys may enjoy this shop’s section with affordable art!  Check it out!

My favorite piece is this “Summer Posies” print, which is selling for $30.  Do you guys have any favorites from this shop?

Item: Today Is The Day Print
Seller:  thebigharumph

This print made me smile.  Today is the day should be everyday.

I stumbled across this blog about 8 months ago and it made me think.  If there was a better word, I’d use it, but it quite simply just made me think.

I found myself thinking about this blogger, whom I had never met, on and off.  I found myself thinking about my own life.  I was thinking (a lot) about my attitude towards life.  I thought about health care in the United States, and I was worried that others may not be getting the care this blogger was getting.  I had many thoughts about how I would approach Walter if he came to my life – and I came to the conclusion I don’t think I would have as much grace.

When I saw this “Today is the Day” print on Etsy.com, I like it for several reasons.  I love hot pink.  I’m a huge typography nerd.  And I thought of this blogger.  I was so excited to see that she is taking the summer off to work, play and clear her head.

I think my today should be full of those things, and not all the dumb things that usually fill it up.

Item: The Wooly Sheep Painting
Seller:  ImpulseART

My feature the other day of some really lovely baby blue vintage suitcases needed a little bit more explanation…

I have been seriously craving a getaway for the last few months, and I have finally planned something!

It’s nothing big, but it’s just what I need.
