Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Linen and Roses

Hi Welcome to this weeks Treat Yourself Tuesday! I have opened a Misi shop this week and have had fun personalising it and that has prompted me to personalise my jewellery photo's (see them here). So I have chosen my seller for todays treats from Misi.

These lovelies are Handmade by Fiona from Linen and Roses. I just love that cushion and in keeping with me dreaming about my new home 'The Heart Of The Home' embroidery ring hanging would look lovely on my wall!

I do hope you'll pop over to Linen and Roses to see what other lovelies Fiona has on offer.

I hope to see you next week for some more Treats.

Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Painting

My second blog post of the day! Sorry could have organised that better!

I have just got back from my art group and have just done my first real painting of still life, in acrylics. So this weeks theme is Painting which I am taking from Art Fire the site created for artists.

This is a hand painted card by Art by Joan

This porcelain planter is decorated with the Chinese brush painting technique.by Terrance Franz Lazaroff (otherwise known as Clayart) at £225 this is a real treat!

I love this picture! I love the way the bear is almost smiling! This is an original watercolour by Cherilynne Fine Art

 ok so I admit I have chosen this painting just for the Border Collie since I have a very cute one of my own :-) Also the concept of the painting made me laugh! This painting is by Todd Young Art

still life. This is the kind of thing I was working on today! But this looks so much better than mine but then I am just beginning! This is in oils by Meaghan Louise who lives in Australia! It's always nice to see art from different parts of the world :-)

I love the pastel colours in this one! One of the reasons I want to learn to paint is so I can paint sunsets with this kind of colouring. This is painted with acrylics by Pendragon Art Works. Pendragon too reminds me of my Home County Cornwall. "By Tre, Pol and Pen you shall know your Cornishmen" Which means names starting with those like Pendragon :-)

A painting that is so good it looks like a photo! I can't imagine ever being able to replicate what I see so exactly :-) This is handpainted by Veronica's Art

and finally, no collection of mine is complete without a piece of Jewellery and this piece is handpainted porcelain by Saniki Creations

Well I hope you have enjoyed my selection of treats this week though I understand they are treats for a very special occasion! But then Art is for life (not just for Christmas hehe)

I hope you will pop over and see these artists shops and the other wonderful pieces they have for sale and I hope to see you again next week.

Treat Yourself Tuesday! ~ Music

I'm not feeling very well today :-( I'm tired and feeling very cold! I thought I might not be able to do this weeks Treat Yourself Tuesday but I have come up to my bed with my doggy and am just listening to uplifting music on my laptop and quietly looking for items for this post. I'm taking them from Zibbet this week and as I'm sitting here listening to some, Music is my theme.

So here are this weeks 'Treats' ...

This gorgeous necklace uses vintage pieces and is by 

Spanky Luvs Vintage 2 - Great name!

I love this bracelet by Pale Moon Creations

Aren't these just the cutest houses? I adore them! They would look lovely perched on top of your piano or on your music shelves :-) The largest one is just 2 inches tall! They are handmade by Paper 2 Roses

Ijust love this darling little bookmark! Embroidery Treasures and Crafts say it perfectly in their listing "For the music lover who want to let the pages of their books tickle the ivories with this adorable piano bookmark" Isn't that beautifully put?

I had to include these for a bit of fun and for those of us out there with a sweet tooth! Made by Custom Candy Creations it comes in 39(!) flavours :-) I think I would choose Pina Colada or MarshMallow!

and finally an extra special Treat! At £139 it certainly isn't an everyday treat but would look great in your home music room or anywhere in a music lovers house! Hand Sculpted by Diva Art 69
