I realized today that my blog lost a little of that special something when I stopped blogging so much about the products I love. I dunno, I just stopped and the blog changed focus from being largely product and home tour driven to a tighter and more reliable format of stories you can count on each week from DIY to recipes and yeah, still home tours... And you guys love those stories and so do I.... But what about products - like the things I love and find and can't stop talking about to my friends during coffee breaks on weekends? That's the stuff I want to know about and see so why wouldn't you? So each week I will have a shop post like this one where I highlight a great find that deserves to be in the spotlight. This week, it's colorful affordable art by American artist Leslie Weaver (mostly originals!) that I'm deliriously crushing on. Take a look...

You can buy her work in her etsy shop, so definitely head over there to see her dozens of works. Here are some more of my favorites from her portfolio below...

"Creativity has always been a part of my life. As I child, I would spend hours drawing faces and figures. I paint because it makes me happy and my desire is to share that happiness and a piece of myself with others.  I am drawn to vibrant color, pattern, texture, fashion, design, quirky composition and global culture. I enjoy exploring various subject matter, but the female face is my most favorite muse. I've used a variety of mediums to create art but primarily work with acrylics. My art is constantly evolving as it is reflective of the many things that I find inspiring which is always changing. " - Leslie Weaver

One of these on an art wall would look SO SO good.
