I found Koch Modern Folk Painting on Etsy, and from the first time I saw the paintings I was enthralled. Each piece to me has a quiet strength…using soft detail and strong forms with an earthy color scheme the artist brings the items to life on a flat canvas. I love the dappling effect and could easily see where these pieces would make a wonderful series on any wall space! Please take a look at the work in his Etsy shop:

“seahorse greeting card” $3.50

I found the most unusual knitwear last night! Elfin House makes beautiful ethereal pieces that look as though they float on your body. They are delicate and feminine and have a sweetness to them. The perfect light sweater for spring or summer, some are sleeveless…and some are flutter or cap sleeved. The colors run from lemony yellows to peach, to soft pinks and corals…there are even lilacs and beautiful blues! Please take a peek at her site there are also the most adorable sweaters for toddlers…the site is it’s irresistibly girly and fun:

I am a sucker for a great pattern, or texture or cut. The next spot I found…has all three! It’s the Skirt Spot!!! Of my three choices, two are really Spring-wear whilst the last one is merely a selfish indulgence in one of my favorite color combinations! If you are in the market for a cute skirt this Spring, maybe for that garden party you were invited to…? Or if you’re looking for an excuse to pick up a hot new pair of wedges…head over to SkirtSpot….and see what you can find!!!
