Don't Worry, Be Happy!

That's how I feel when I look at Mary Hamilton's beautiful work. Her Bougainvillea On a Rampage painting puts a smile on my face and reminds me of all the wonderful places I have visited, like Key West where bougainvilleas grows wild. I love the vivid colors and subject matter of these paintings. Check out Mary's wonderful shop, Dream On, and don't forget to read her blog too.

Welcome to Paradise!

Everyone has a place they consider to be paradise. Mine is the beach and that is why I chose the handmade sign above as my favorite. Joanne uses Belizian wood for these custom signs. They are so cheerful and colorful. A sign like this would be perfect for anyone's paradise. Her paintings are equally delightful.

Plastic Pumpkin

It was very hard for me to choose from Plastic Pumpkin's gorgeous works of art because I liked so many of them.
