Wonderful Art at Thursday Sweet Treat

Not too long ago, Natasha and I crossed paths. I don't really remember where we
1st came across each other - twitter I think.
Natasha really puts some time into her blog, which is mostly art created around a weekly theme, by a variety of some awesome artists. I think it's sooooooooooooooo awesome of her to take the time and effort to do all she does!

She reminds me of this saying that I have - not sure who wrote it:

"What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for one another."

I was so happy to finally be able to contribute a piece this week.

Also, very happy to finally get out and get some pictures done of some ornaments and a few other little items I've managed to get done. Yesterday was a bit tricky - the wind was blowing pretty good, and kept blowing my suncatchers around - as it did today - so I still don't have pictures of them. They'll come in time.
I think I'm finally getting this bug I've been battling for a while now under control.

Here's a few of my new ornaments, and do go check out some of the wonderful art on Natashas blog. Title links to her blog.

Another Wonderful Etsy Hostie

Her name is Jeanette, but she goes by Maisy! What a fun name! I'm amazed by this wonderfully sweet person and all that she does.
Besides having 2 shops on etsy, she keeps up the blog for HOST, is in the team forum thread giving everyone encouragement where needed, compliments, hugs, short chats, more hugs and some thawks!
From her profile she says this about herself:
"was raised in lush, tropical St Lucia in the Caribbean and I firmly believe that gave me my magpie eye for rich colours and textures. My designs are often inspired just by the materials that I work with and my combinations are intended to bring out the best in the stones, and to be comfortable and unselfconscious for you to wear. "
I love that "magpie eye" description. Magpies are great at finding little jewels. So this seems to be fitting because she does have some pretty jewels in her shop. Maisy resides in Dorset, UK.

Maisy also occasionally visits my flickr page and leaves me some fun comments, I'm not sure how she keeps up with everything she does!

The beautiful long strand of pearls is from her http://maisyh.etsy.com/ shop. I think those are so elegant -
and the necklace with the different blue beads is from her http://mcnovelties.etsy.com/ shop.

That's one of the really cool thing about Maisy's designs, she does simple but nice items that you can wear during the day or night - to more elegant and dressy designs like the long strand of pearls.

And her other blog: http://maisyh.blogspot.com/

and Host: http://helpingothersstreetteam.blogspot.com/
Where she does a beautiful job of writing about team members and their shops.

I probably don't do half of what she does, and I can't keep up with it all!
Go, check out her shops - remember Christmas is right around the corner!

Have a wonderful day.
