CAN I PLAY WITH YOUR...?

My latest card arrived in the shoppe today!

click image to purchase...

Part of my 'Cutie' series of cards, it features Monkey on the front with a question mark above his head.
❤ Front: "Can I play with your..."
❤ Inside: BANANA

It worked for me when I gave it to the hubs this morning, so I'm 99.9% sure it'll get you some too. If not, then you're doing something totally wrong and I probably can't help you at all. :)

Give...and get...a little love today!


NOTE: if card says SOLD OUT, convo me to get your own as I do have more in stock.

One of my lovelies has been featured in a sweet little treasury by Rosalera where she asked us to guess the treasury theme.

Well, I guess I already gave away the answer with the title of this post, but her treasury full of dress form-inspired items is worth a long look...

Simple Silhouettes...

What could be MORE simple [if only in appearance] than a silhouette? They make such a statement in their simplicity and mystery.

At left, my Butterfly Silhouette on Vintage Italian Mirror.

All my silhouettes with the vintage Italian mirrors are etched out of paint on a mirrored surface...not an easy task. If sold out, please email us HERE for other options.

* ❤ *

Also, my Devil Boy Silhouette and Devil Girl Silhouette.

*NOTE: Angel Boy and Angel Girl silhouettes are also available.

Each is sold as original art on a hand painted wood 'frame', with a velvet ribbon for hanging...Sweet!

















Please check my shop and sold items at Dirty Pretty Things for some other sweet little silhouettes that you can order...and you can personalize some of my silhouettes too!

And, here are just some favourites by other Etsy artists...

Every Jot and Tittle has these cute little tags: Trendy Girl Tags.

This is just simply BEAUTIFUL...Shall We Dance Silhouette Cameo Pendant by AdoraPop.
