Hidden Treasures: Beach Dreams

If you're not part of the Etsy community (yet), you're missing out on an incredible place that is totally committed to the art of the handmade.  It's a wonderful place to find everything you need, or just want, while supporting fellow crafters and artists.  It's also just a treasure trove of  great ideas and inspiration.

For something new this year I thought I'd post a treasury of various Etsy sellers each week.  Click on the thumbnail to visit the shops and see what else you can find.  And while you're hanging out at Etsy you can feel free to visit me at the Etcetorize etsy shop~

If an item doesn't have a selling amount below it just means that it's already sold.  Check out the seller's store for similar items, you never know what you'll find!

Inspiration Shot: My Happy Place

Welcome to my happy place.  A couple of years ago I went to Nice, France and stayed on the French Riviera for 6 weeks.  It was one of the best vacations I've ever had.  Every day was filled with nothing but day trips to fabulous little medieval towns (including Cannes during the film festival!), art galleries, museums, shopping in quaint markets, and of course the beach.

Whenever I'm having a not so great day, I let my mind wander back to this shot and think about what my life would be like now if I had stayed .... ahhhhhhh~

Nice, France

Just a reminder that the sun is shining somewhere and there is still hope that I will feel it on my skin again someday~
