Urban Grace Interiors {the blog}
:: everyday life as a designer
Hi everyone! It’s Allison. Erika is off in New York, but before she left she posed another fun challenge for all of us. Inspired by Leigh Ann’s fabulous jewelry, we had to pick our top ten Etsy finds.
We hope you enjoy and have a happy Tuesday!

I feel sort of like a greasy grimy blogger when I snag blog content from others and post… but it is a form of flattery (right?) and not everyone reads the same blogs – so here we are:
I have lots o’ friends that blog about sweet family stuff like taking their kids to the petting zoo for Easter. One such blogger had this photo in his album of "easter photos" and I almost fell over with lovey-dovey feelings in my little soul for that pink nosed sheep.
[Billy Goat by Berkley Illustration - Miss Havisham found these on ETSY - she gets all the credit - they are SO FABULOUS]
[the first thought in my mind was "Mr.Rogers Frog"... truly I love him AND he is only $7.00 (for a print) or $80 for the original]
Wait! Ryan Berkley of Berkley Illustration has this to say about the frog:
This unassuming frog is a high school math teacher. He also coaches the mathlete team who have gone undefeated under his leadership. The students like him for his laid back attitude and his "Fractal Fridays" slideshows.
That’s hilarious… really hilarious. All this sweet animal love makes me want to design a nursery… what awesome starting points (these illustrations) are for a child’s bedroom.
I received a nice comment from the girl who writes this blog. So, of course I head over to check it out. What do I find!? A post on Hot Air Balloons she found on Etsy. While this may sound totally random, I was completely intrigued. I grew up in Kentucky, where every Spring kicks off the Kentucky Derby Festival – which entails all sorts of fun leading up to the big race – The Kentucky Derby! Two fun events during the festival are the Great Balloon Glow & The Great Balloon Race. It is really a beautiful sight!

So back to Leslie’s blog – I found this amazing Etsy Artist Irene Suchocki… I am in love!
Home for the Holidays (this might be my favorite – incase anyone wants to surprise me)
