One of My Newest Favorite Artists

One thing I adore about Pinterest is the fact that I'm discovering all sorts of amazing artists, who I would have probably never heard of without it.  Today I would like to share one of newest favorite artists with you.  Her name is Courtney Brims, and not only does she make amazing art, she has one of the coolest websites ever.  Check out the entry screen.

Courtney Brims does a lot of great fairy tale themed art.  You seriously need to check out her gallery.  Her gallery shows tiny thumbnails of each piece, so you should click them to see the whole thing.  She has done so much amazing artwork!  She sells prints, greeting cards, gift tags, and postcards in her shop.  Her images are copyrighted so I'm not going to post any on here, but trust me and check them out.  You will not be disappointed.

Call for Sponsors

I know that most people post this sort of post near the end of the previous month, but I am not most people.  And since I do ads through Passionfruit, you can sponsor my blog anytime you'd like to, not just at the beginning of the month.  Passionfruit automatically runs each ad for 30 days at a time, which makes it really easy.  This isn't an ad for Passionfruit ads.  I just really like running my ads through them.

I'm sure that you're wondering, of all of the bloggers I could sponsor, why would I pick you?  Well I'm glad you asked.  For one, I always visit my sponsor's sites.  If I really like it, it could even become my Shop or Blog of the Month at some point!  Besides that, I will share links to your posts or products on Twitter and Pinterest.  If that's not enough to convince you, I could really use the little bit of money I would gain from you sponsoring me.  I still haven't been able to go back to work since I'm still very sick and weak from all of this celiac ridiculousness, and nobody has been buying any of my Etsy products for awhile.  (I only made one sale during the Christmas season.)  So I have zero income, which is super stressful.

If you would like to help me out but don't want to sponsor me, you can check out my new Valentine's Day jewelry collection on Etsy.  Even if you don't buy anything, I would really appreciate it if you could share it with your friends through social media.  Thanks.

Blog and Shop of the Month: Tragic and Creative

My Blog of the Month was an easy choice.  I also found out that her birthday is this month, which is a happy coincidence.  I have been following her blog for quite a while, and she never ceases to make me jealous of her sewing abilities and laugh at her handrawn comics of conversations she has with her family and people at work.  She blogs for herself and not for fame, which is what I do too.  Kerry is my Blogger of the Month and you can find her blogging at The Tragic Whale.  Also make sure to check out her Etsy shop.  She makes the cutest purses, bags, and clutches.  I own a purse that she made and I love it.  They last a long time too.  Use the coupon code BIRTHDAY25 in her shop to save 25% off your orders all this week!


Blog | Shop | Twitter

I only discovered my shop of the month a few days ago while browsing jewelry makers on Google+.  She makes the cutest wood jewelry.  She only has two sales so far, so she is a perfect candidate for Shop of the Month.  Check out Sinead Creative for darling deer necklaces, heart and spike collar clips, and heart necklaces.   Now through February 11th, use the code Love20 to get 20% off your order.
