Treasure Hunt Tuesday

Welcome to another Treasure Hunt Tuesday!

 I had a bit of a late start on my Treasure Hunt Tuesday feature this week, and so my treasures for this edition were not ones found throughout the week, but found today!! When I woke this morning it was chilly and definitely autumn-ish in my little part of the world, and as I sat down with my mug of tea to browse for treasure, it became clear that the items catching my eye all had a central theme......comfort. I guess I'm in a cozy-up, drink tea, be comfy kind of mood today, and I found a few awesome comfy creations to match my state of mind!

First is this cozy, soft, warm looking scarf from Northern Lodge on etsy. 

Can't you just imagine how soft it must be? They had some absolutely amazing throws in the shop as well, but it was this scarf that called my name with the autumn colors and great texture. If you want to see more of their lovely creations, you can check out www.etsy.com/shop/Northernlodge.

My second treasure are these pumpkin crunch cake scented candles. I'm such a huge candle lover, and when I read the description of this yummy scent I knew I had to include it in my treasure trove. What's more comforting than a softly glowing candle??

I love the wood wicks as well. I've had candles with these types of wicks and loved the look of them. Seriously....pumpkin crunch cake?? Enough said, lol. These are made by Heart J Creations, and you can see more of their very comforting creations here.

Not a long list of treasures from me today, but good finds to be sure :-) As always, please feel free to share the treasures you've discovered in the comments below....and grab a button if you like as well. Let's spread the word about the cool handmade creations we find!

Happy Treasure Hunting!

Treasure Hunt Tuesday

Welcome to another edition of Treasure Hunt Tuesday. A day to support fellow artists, and to share a few of the lovely and inspirational treasures I've discovered throughout the week. I hope you'll join in and share some of the treasures you've discovered too!

My first treasure of the week is this amazing photo art by Kathy Formal. I really admire her work and the ethereal atmosphere of her art. You could almost just fall into it and get lost in the dreamy world she creates. 

So very lovely don't you think? You can see more of Kathy's work in her etsy shop at 

www.etsy.com/shop/KathyFornal

My next found treasure is this lovely little acorn necklace by Stacy of Good Things. It's made with a real little acorn cap and something about it just makes me smile and feel warm inside. It's like a golden little bit of autumn goodness, lol. 

To see more of Stacy's pretty botanical creations you can visit her etsy shop

My last find for this week is this gorgeous mixed media art print by Joann Loftus of Whimsies & Folksies. I love the gentle softness of this print with the wonderful textures and layers. Such a lovely wistful effect. 

You can see more of Joann's unique work at www.etsy.com/shop/whimsiesfolksies

Time Again For Treasure Hunt Tuesday

I can't believe it's Tuesday again already!! Ahhh the flying days.....sometimes it feels like such a whirlwind doesn't it? This week's Treasure Hunt Tuesday is a bit shorter than my previous week's posts because as I mentioned yesterday, I'm running around like a crazy cat getting ready for my bestest girlfriend and her husband who are coming all the way from America to visit me. This will be the first time since moving to England that anyone from my "home team" has come here to visit, so.....yayyyyyyy!!!

This week I have just two treasures to share, but I found them to be wonderfully inspirational. Sometimes you see something that just strikes a cord or speaks to you and you love it as soon as you see it. Isn't it great when that happens?? I think it's what we would all like as artists.....for our work to speak to those who see it :-)

My first treasure is this cool, funky, and inspirational art print from Rani Primmer of Jagged Touch Studio.

Rani's work is so fun and whimsical and I saw so many cool pieces while browsing her etsy shop, but I think this one is my favorite. You can see more of her gorgeous work at www.etsy.com/shop/JaggedTouchStudio

My second treasure was found on pinterest and I just had to share it. I think it speaks for itself.

 

It is based on the quote by Dawn Markova and the artwork was created by Caiti of Catidid Designs. Truly beautiful words to live by, don't you think?

As always, please feel free to share your recently found treasures and links in the comments below. I hope you are all having a magical week and please visit again soon!

Treasure Hunt Tuesdays

Welcome to the first official Treasure Hunt Tuesdays post! What is "Treasure Hunt Tuesday" you ask? It's a day for finding and sharing hidden gems, precious little bits and bobs, and cool inspirational art that we've discovered by other artists. It's a day to celebrate the inspiration we get from one another, and to try and pass that inspiration on if we can. It doesn't matter what the treasure is....a favorite recipe, a funny little quote, a beautiful piece of art, or a handcrafted thingie mabobber....if it makes you smile or moves you in some way, then I'd love to hear about it! No treasure is too small or too great to share!

Since my blog is still quite new, you may not see loads and bunches of people yet participating in Treasure Hunt Tuesdays, but please don't let that stop you from sharing your treasure foundlings! If even one new person a week stops by to share the wonderful work of others, then I will be a happy treasure hunter indeed! Blogs are such a wonderful way to support and inspire one another, so let's continue to share the wealth and let others have a peek at the treasures we discover :-)

Sometimes you have to travel far from the beaten path to discover hidden gems........

And sometimes you find treasure just outside your own front gate...............

But whether you find inspiration near or far, sharing it with friends is often the best part of the journey!

So without further ado, here are a few of the inspirational treasures I'd like to share for my first Treasure Hunt Tuesday!

I love this whimsical photo art by Kanelstrand Photography. Something about this little girl standing on her own fishing for the moon really appeals to me! I think we should all do a bit more fishing for the moon :-)

I've always admired the tiny detailed work of art doll creators, such amazing little works of art! I stumbled upon this adorable sprite by Lori Schroeder and was totally enchanted. You can see more of Lori's work at www.fairiesandmermaids.etsy.com.

My third found treasure this week is this inspirational necklace from Wuzzy's Creations. I love the message and the cool rustic look of this piece.

My last "share" for this week is this beautiful art print by Claire Baron of The Enchanted Postcard. I'm really in love with this print and have put it on my "really want to treat myself to" list, lol. 

So there we have it, my first little trove of shared treasures. Now it's your turn! If you've created a post on your blog about treasures you've found, or want to just leave a link in the comments to something you want to share....please jump in and share your treasures! If you really realllllyyyy like the idea of Treasure Hunt Tuesdays, please feel free to grab a button below and let others know about the weekly treasure hunt!

Thanks for visiting, I hope you have a lovely day!
