More Last Minute Favorite Things!

Last week, I featured some beautiful products by talented artists who sell their work on Zazzle, the online print on demand store where I also have a store (Art in Photography). This week, in case you still haven't finished your holiday shop-fest, I'm featuring a few more!

These awesome designs are available on a variety of products such as prints, puzzles, plates, glasses, ipad & iphone cases, cards, ties, shirts, sneakers, necklaces and more - all of which make super gifts (in case you are still looking for that certain gift for that certain person).  And a number of products on Zazzle are customizable,  meaning you can enter the text or name you choose on many products - what could be better for the person who has everything?

So stay in your jammies, grab your cuppa, get your credit card and get ready for some last minute shopping!  And don't forget your coupons!

To browse an entire store, click on the store title - good stuff.

This store features photography taken by the shopkeeper or her husband, and also wonderful vintage images - she says all vintage images she uses are from postcards passed down in her family.  Beautiful gifts here!










Liquid Eyes
This shop has amazing art and a wide variety. "...high tech mix with a Victorian flair".  I love how the welcome on their home page says, "Enjoy getting your cyborg robotic fix!"











Daydreams Designs by Cheri

Trendy, hip and modern!  This shop specializes in graphic design but also offers a wide variety.







And just in case you know someone into music who is in need of a gift, check out Zazzle's Music Gear!
There are so many bands on that page, I have to admit, I don't even know who most of them are (feeling like an old fogey here). I was going to wait for my young adult son to wake up and tell me who is cool from this page to put on my blog, but hey, he could be sleeping until way past noon. So here goes nuttin'.

A few samples (going with some oldies I know and taking my chances on others):

And I'll stop there before I hurt myself!

Enjoy your browsing and shopping!

Thankful

This week, at the risk of sounding trite, I find it very appropriate (coincidentally to Thanksgiving) to concentrate on the positive - on being thankful for what I do have.  My list is the usual: family, friends, a roof over my head, food, my health, opportunities I've had, the beauty around me.

Many times, words can't do that list justice. So here are the visuals of what I am so thankful to have in my life:



































 



































Happy Thanksgiving.
