Autumn is my time of the year. I love and adore the weather, the colors, the quiet. And I also know that there are vegetables that do really well during the colder months, although I don’t grow them – I just eat them.  :-) Planting Guide For Fall Vegetables Plants which grow roots and tubers […]

More and more consumers are becoming aware of the dangers of the toxins in our food supply (and everywhere else!) and are willing to pay more for “organic” items in the grocery store. But advertisers play fast and loose with these terms so we need to know exactly what we’re buying. Hopefully, this guide will […]

Depression is one of the most common forms of mental illness in the United States, with almost 20 million adults developing the condition each year. Although there is medical treatment available, many people are interested in treating their depression naturally, rather than taking possibly-dangerous drugs. There are ways of helping relieve the effects of depression […]

We just published a new steampunk print and several sold right away. Of course, this camera shot is at an angle and the real print is “straight on” and not crooked. There are so many delightful elements in this print. We love the torn paper at the bottom, held on by screws. Then, of course […]

In the past, I started a garden every spring – and when it got really hot and miserable in the summer, I neglected it and ended up with an ugly mess. So I have forgotten a serious garden – except for herb gardening. I love fresh herbs and they can be grown with very little […]

We’ve added the purple watercolor splotches to make this art print a subdued piece of purples, grays and antique parchment for the background. […]

Our best-selling art prints are our steampunk ones. And as I was mailing this beauty with the glorious balloon, I decided to take a picture of it as it was lying on my desk. It’s just simply gorgeous. I really like the richness of the reds and the writing absolutely looks like the runic writing […]

Let’s face it: how to clean mini blinds isn’t anyone’s all-time favorite subject. We’ve all seen those attractively streamlined mini blinds at our local home improvement centers.  They look terrific in their displays, but after staring at them for a minute, many of us ask, “Yes, but what about the dust?”, and walk away. But […]

We are completely thrilled with our limited edition pen and ink drawing of this gorgeous young girl! She is incredibly beautiful, with all the innocence of the young, and the slightly purple tinge to the drawing is spectacular. The fur hat on her head tells us it’s winter and her candid look is so, so […]
