Oh Deer! New Goodies from Sharon Montrose...

Sharon Montrose, my other favorite animal portraitist, has some adorable new goodies in her Etsy shop. The so-very-sweet baby deer pillow comes in 3 sizes and a variety of cuddly backing fabrics. Perfect for a baby's room, don't you think? Meanwhile, for your book-loving friend, or perhaps for yourself, how about these sets of bookmarks? Each set of three features a group of hoofed or feathered creatures, and for only $10....

We have a winner!

Hooray! So last night I completed a totally random drawing in the "Like I Give a Frock" book giveaway. And the winner is.... Mayra (comment #4) of the fabulously fun blog, Life is Bananas.

And p.s., the adorable "Hooray!" pennants are via Etsy seller So Inviting. I think these flags would be so cute for a wedding or baby shower, don't you?

...ooh, and they are even available in a larger 16" x 18.5" format!

Constructs by Laura Kicey

A couple months ago, Oh Joy! featured the work of photographer Laura Kicey. Ever since then, I have been positively obsessed with her eye-popping photo collages.   I would already have one hanging in my house if it wasn't so hard to choose!  A selection is available for purchase on Etsy...
