Fabulous Friday Finds

Today we are going to look at some of my favorite finds in art, all at great prices. Every single piece shown is under $100.

I have included tiny original abstracts in stunning pastels by Marquin Campbell that can be hung on the wall or can sit on a chest or table with their 2" thick canvases. She has painted a stunning piece for my Chinoiserie Man Cave One Room Challenge that I can't wait to share with you.

The botanical photographs by Sarah Hollander are breathtaking. These are the modern alternative to botanical engravings. I predict they become very popular with interior designers. She has created some exclusive pieces for The Pink Pagoda.

I adore the whimsical work of Caitlin McGauley, one of my favorite artists. Her limited edition prints always sell out.

The art of The Aestate has such a great modern edge. I love it. You will be seeing one of her pieces in my Chinoiserie Man Cave One Room Challenge.

My final one today is this wonderful banana leaf print by The Aestate inspired by Hinson's Martinique wallpaper. At a large 20 by 30 inches, with four different banana leaf prints to choose from, use one, a pair, or a set of four to make quite a statement without the commitment and cost of wallpapering the room in this iconic design. This one is Beverly IV in the series.

Last, but as they say, not least, I hope you have seen The Pink Pagoda's breathtakingly beautiful exclusive botanical giclees by Sarah Hollander. Here is a brand new one just listed - a pink parrot tulip - the essence of spring. I have always loved traditional framed botanical engravings, but they look so granny in today's homes. These are a wonderful modern alternative. They are available in lots of sizes all the way up to 48" by 60."

I'd like to mention that The Pink Pagoda's very popular Blue and White Bash Linking Party is this coming Monday, April 7th. And, no, you don't get an excused absence because you are busy with the One Room Challenge or the One Room Challenge Linking Event. Remember that you can link up with ANY past blue and white post you have done. Here is a quick refresher. I'll see you all there!

Thoughts of Summer

Jewelry designer and artist Marquin Campbell has just returned from two weeks in the Virgin Islands. Her husband grew up sailing there. Marquin, her husband, and another couple chartered a sailboat and island hopped for two glorious weeks. Her Spring and Summer 2014 jewelry collection is inspired by island colors and textures. Here are some of my favorite pieces from her new collection as well as shots of their winter escape.

You can find Marquin's collection here.
