CooLisArt

You just can't find things like this in the shops. It's all big box stores and machine made. For me that makes it boring and  unoriginal. When I do find a real artist that makes functional items I am sold. CooLisArt is the shop and Lisa is the artist. This shop is full of original, hand painted designs. Whether it's a child's bedroom, a playroom or your classroom at school there is something for you in here. Go ahead, take a look. I'll wait.

See what I mean? And she'll do custom work, too. I am partial to the monsters, so Miss Lisa sent me the Monster version of the child's art display hanger you see below. She also sent me a collection of 5x7 prints of these perfect little monsters. 



If you'd like a chance to win these prints please like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

Bridgit's Bell

It doesn't surprise me in the least, that Karen, the artist at Bridgit's Bell, is a former teacher. Her designs are deliciously tactile and sensory friendly which make them ideal for today's more progressively playful classrooms. 

It's this time of year, however, that I am thinking not just about my classroom but of my Fall decor and I need these sweet felted witches to enhance my interior design. I'd like to  string a whole set across my fireplace. 

Would you like one of these darling dolls? Like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours.

Is it just me, or are these coasters the best thing you've seen in years? Dandyrions is the shop and Lisa is the artist. Go ahead, spend some time browsing. Would it be totally weird if I took mine with me everywhere I went? That way, the host could offer me a drink and I could pull out my trusty bear coaster and be all set? Too much? Even if I had that chic french guy below? Well, too bad. I've already named my guy 'Barry' and he's coming with me everywhere. 


I'm going to get a few of the sets of four for Christmas presents. I will be reserving them for my coolest friends so I guess you'll know where stand come Christmas. 


Yes, Barry has a friend. He is, as of yet, unnamed. I will send him to one lucky liker soon. 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered.

It's not that I forget to brush my children's hair. It's more like I avoid it altogether because they fight back now and they are getting so big. Grey Thread hooked us up with a solution to our messy hair woes. Now, our girls can wear this shirt proudly while their hair does its thing. Yes, you can get it in your size. I already checked. 

This shop doesn't just specialize in liberating our hair, it can dress you for all kinds of occasions. I'll let you discover, on you own, what might suit you best, but I'm guessing you're pretty rad, if you know what I mean. 

If you'd like to win some threads from Grey Thread you'll have to work for it. Comment below an idea for a T-shirt quote and you'll be entered to win.

You know this is true, don't you? Are you sipping a glass of pinot and giggling at this right now? Me, too.
Stop scouring the internet for classroom decor. I found it all in one spot. Her name is Shelly and she creates at We Love Printable Art. These are just a few examples of her clever art. You'll have browse to see the rest. 

Now that I have taken care of your classroom decor I'd like to introduce you to Shelly's other shop Promoting Success. If you're a teacher you've heard of Teachers Pay Teachers and you've spent hours searching for resources to compliment your stellar teaching. I am here to tell you that I found a spot that offers one stop shopping. Isn't that great? Now, you'll have more time for all that laminating. Only a teacher will understand. 


So, because I love you and Shelly does, too. I am going to share some of my resources with you. 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below for a chance to win. This contest closes in twenty four hours.

LaliBlue Shop

You don't have to be a little girl to adore the sweet designs from LaliBlue Shop. I fell in love with the litter girl and her violin. Do you have a little prodigy in your life that would appreciate her? How about that carriage with its passenger peaking out. What girl (big or small) wouldn't gush over the little one clutching tight to her teddy below.

I am such a fan of this work I searched for a clothing line, book line or television program that might further appease my new addiction.

The Violette Bloom

I know you wish you could make your own s. Pinterest tells us we can with just a few dollars and a few easy steps. Well, pinterest lies! As I type this with glue gun burns on my fingers I appreciate, even more, the work of The Violette Bloom.

These wreathes are constructed so beautifully and with such care that I feel the need to have one for each season. For the moment, I have the great fortune  to have one for my classroom door. It says: Enter With an Open Mind. Don't you wish that was on every door anyone ever entered? Me too.

Would you like to win a wreath just like mine? Please like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered.

Lil Dove's Confections

Why?! Why, for the love of chocolate, would these confections show up on my doorstep after I've committed to a healthy eating program? I know, I know, everything in moderation right? Well, that's my problem. I don't practice that philosophy. 

Lil Dove's Confections sent me samples of all different kinds of her Gourmet Bark. Did you even know you could make lemon bark? Me neither! I'll let you browse her shop and decide what your favourite might be because there are too many choices to list. 

I pledge in front of all the people that read this blog that I WILL NOT eat all the bark tonight and I will bring it work tomorrow to share with all my hardworking friends. There, now I can't indulge even if I wanted to because people will be expecting a treat tomorrow. 


And of course I have some for you! 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered.

Mmmmmm Lemon Bark. Decisions. Decisions. Or check out that decadent marshmallow pop next door. Chocolate and salted caramel. Mercy.

Walkerville Textiles

I don't even know what I would do with these but I want them so much. I suppose they could be decorative or used for counting or pretend play with the girls. I just love these fabric eggs.
What? I cook! Sort of. I bake, anyway. And sometimes it works out. How was I supposed to know that half of a cup of butter melted is different than half of a cup of melted butter?! Well, regardless of my baking skills, I do like to look good when I try and I am betting you do, too. Walkerville Textiles can hook you up or grab one for someone you know who loves to spend time in the kitchen. These aprons (and other textiles) are handmade in Canada so you can't go wrong. 

Who wants that sweet fall apron with the trees on it? Does anyone struggle in the kitchen as much as I do? 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. If you can't cook at least you can look good trying.

Magnets in Love

These photos do not do these pieces justice. They are worth every penny and more. I do feature a lot of products but I have never featured something so whimsical and beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to own something from Anastasia's shop.
You cannot begin to imagine how much I love these sweet magnets. They are handmade in the Ukraine by a lovely and kind artist called Anastasia. She owns the shop  Magnets in Love. I hesitate to even call these magnets because they are like little works of art, and if I am being clear, they aren't 'little' at all. Each person she creates is about the size of your hand. It is handmade art at its best. I adore this shop and I am completely puzzled how Anastasia can charge so little for her work. 

If you need a bright spot of art in your home, office or classroom, you've found it. I defy you not smile every single time you look at these happy little friends. I, of course, consider mine to be my girls. 

The greatly talented and kind artist has sent a second set for you! Please 'like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered.
