Meet Cindy and Mindy

I met the most wonderful etsy artist in the forums recently and I just can't resist sharing her work with you. I absolutely fell in love with her characters Cindy and Mindy. I hope you will too!



Cindy and Mindy are good friends that just seem to be curious, fun and sometimes get into a bit of trouble. But they always bring a smile to your face! This is a must see etsy shop. They are featured on Birthday Cards, Note Cards and Wall Art.

Who can resist?

She just has too much fun going to a birthday party.


or making faces in the mirror... is that me?


or making new friends


Of course, there is that bit of trouble she gets into once in a while!


And never telling a soul about it!



You can visit Mindy and Cindy at cindyandmindy.etsy.com and say hello to Jean - the creator who is one of the sweetest etsians!

FAM Friday Feature ~~ TootsieandGrace

There are etsy shops and then there are etsy shops! I absolutely love TootsieandGrace and I keep an eye on this shop all the time to see what is new.



Tootsie and Grace is not your typical shop. It is a very talented mother daughter team that brings a toddlers scribbles to life.



About the Artists:

Gracie Hopkins is three years old. She loves drawing, singing, dancing, and pretending that she is Tuck the Turtle from the Wonder Pets. Her favorite colors vary daily, her favorite things to draw are princesses and baby jaguars, and her favorite food is scrambled eggs (so she says, but her mother has yet to see her really enjoy a plate of them).

Marisa Hopkins is 27, and an at home mom with two daughters, Gracie (obviously) and her one year old sister, Annelie, who also loves to draw, but whose scribbles seem a little uninspired. Marisa graduated from San Jose State University in CA with a degree in Creative Arts. She hopes to one day get into children's book writing and illustrating, but in the meantime, is having a whole lot of fun with this shop.

Here is how these masterpieces start:

And by magic they turn into this:

Stop by and give this team some lovin' at TootsieandGrace.... They will be very happy to see you!
