a gorgeous giveaway with artist darrin davis of crazy uncle art studios!



............

have i got a treat for you today, nicies!
it's with great pleasure that i celebrate the launch of a wonderful new handmade fine art shop that's very near and dear to my heart.  hip hip hurray! & three cheers for one of my favourite folks in the whole wide world, my fabulous & talented brother, darrin davis, and the opening of his boutique Crazy Uncle Art Studios.

darrin says it best: "Crazy Uncle Art Studios "Balances Fine-Art Snobbery & Greasy Kids Stuff!"  - i create handmade art from the heart, ranging from vibrant, engaging fine-art Nursery Paintings and Prints for the kiddies to dramatic, breath-taking Black and White nature photography for the non-diapered! :)  This shop is like a favourite family diner for the eyes, providing nourishing treats to young and old, with the added bonus of a 100% no-heartburn guarantee!"

indeed, this shop is a veritable wonderland of fabulous gifts for everyone on your Holiday list!  

  • how about an adorable personalized animal painting on canvas for your favourite little ones?  
  • or a giclee print from his evocative "men wearing hats, crying" series for a favourite art-loving friend?  
  • or ordering a few sets of his ever-expanding & mesmerizing "wanderlust" nature photograph notecards as the perfect everyone-will-love-them gift for co-worker gift exchanges, teachers, neighbours and more this gift-giving season!

on a personal note: darrin is the gosh-darn best brother around. his amazing talent in so many creative spheres always inspires me - among his many talents he's also a brilliant musician - isn't almost home so lovely? and remember his fabulous canadian playlist here?  

and... he's a true nicey! he's the most hilariously fun & funny person in the world and i love how you can sense his fabulous being in every piece of art he crafts from his amazing eye for colour-play to his captivatingly rich photography. love you, brother!


so be sure to visit darrin around the web, and read on to
WIN a $50 gift card to crazy uncle art studios! woohoo!

goodness gracious are you ever going to love today's giveaway, sweeties!

the brilliant jewelry designer lisa lehmann creates spectacularly stunning artisanal handcrafted jewelry, with a little something for everyone. her beautiful boutique studio jewel includes modern statement necklaces, both trendy & classic earrings, show stopping & simply beautiful rings, bangle bracelets and more! and i love that she crafts goodies for women & men (and children & teens, too!)

it's especially wonderful how so many of the studio jewel lines are fully customizable and so easily personalized!

as well as being a a brilliant artist, i especially adore how lisa so sincerely creates her designs from her own personal experiences, and how bravely and warmly she shares her stories of each piece. with welcoming arms she has crafted a community of followers thru the struggles we commonly share. that's such a fabulous thing. i so dearly love this line from her bio: "i want to encourage you that you are not alone. sometimes a special piece of jewelry can be the perfect reminder."

that's a pretty fantastical thing you do, lisa.
wonderful!
