Art Trades: My favorite Kind of Happiness.




A few weeks ago, I blogged about my January challenge project with my etsy team Blogging Business Artisans.  One of my teammates, Edi of Memories for Life Scrapbooks mentioned that she would be more than willing to take this project (pink, turquoise, and white tea towels) off my hands.  I delightfully agreed, to which she countered, "What if we make a trade?"


Now, there's nothing that I love more than an art trade.  Getting beautiful handmade items and art in exchange for your own seems even more just than for money; it's like trading blood, sweat, & tears for the same.

We decided that she'd get my tea towels (and since I felt they were quite novice) one of my heart brooches as well, and that I'd receive a set of her beautiful wooden engraved owl magnets.  I think we're both quite happy with the trade:)  Read Edi's account here.

Good trade!

Hey, I really like your blog look! I love how clean and uncluttered it is and your photos really stand out.

Did you do the tabs at the top yourself?
