I was just sitting here thinking about how I’ve been able to write this column for over a year already and I don’t think I’ve featured the same artist more than once. Too funny, especially since I only use my memory to guide me when I write this each week. I’m bound to duplicate an artist at some point! :) Anyway, random-thoughts-while-blogging aside, here are my five picks for this week — prints, papers, packing supplies and other pretties that you won’t want to miss!
Hooray Design Shop: Packing supplies and other pretty things for your workspace. {etsy} {blog}
Nan Lawson: Illustrative prints for framing or tacking to your inspiration board. {etsy} {etsy shop #2} {blog}
Tutti Studio: This girls draws so beautifully, I imagine her work in children’s books don’t you? So cute! {etsy}
Two Brunettes: Limited edition stationery including recipe cards and more – like custom banners for your blog! {etsy} {blog}
Your Wishcake: I love her soft, feminine wallets, magnets and hair pins. {etsy} {blog}

You’re much better than I am. I’ve covered several artists more than once. Especially my favorites like Kate Towers. She just keeping coming up with brilliant things so I can’t help myself. These Etsy finds are lovely. I’ll have to add some to my favorites.
