Musical Monday + some artsy stuff


Josh Ritter's new album, The Beast In Its Tracks comes out tomorrow. 



If you are looking for a mellow start to your Musical Monday you can live stream the entire album early over at NPR by clicking this link.

You can also stream his earlier albums at this link. Once there, click each album cover to listen. There are also a few free MP3s too.


Looking for some other musical genres today? Or want to share what is on your radar? Pop on over to Xmas Dolly's and join the MM hop!

It's going to be a busy week around here! Yet, I hope to share some pics and purchases from this weekend's Gasparilla Festival of The Arts. A juried art fair with over $75,000 in prize money, it attracts a spectacular variety of 2d and 3d creative expression. 

This is my favorite local art fair & I had a blast wandering around with Etsy artisans KcBird of Bird House Designs

There is so much to learn traveling with talented folks who specialize in different techniques. I ended up paying attention to leather & glass items that I would have just walked around on my own. So, thank you, ladies for opening my eyes ... and for your fabulous company, of course!

Final note today, if you haven't entered the new Thursday Giveaway, leave a comment before 3/28. On the 28th one lucky winner gets to pick a carved wooden box from the online shop GreekArt.Etsy.com for their very own. Prize ships free worldwide & there are a total of three ways to enter. Click here for details, photos and an interview with the shop owner/ craftsman Evlambios Chatzilazaridis.

  1. Thank you it is always a pleasure to spend time with you and to pick your brain on art as we did yesterday - the Gaspiralla Art Fair was definitely more interesting with the company I was in and seeing through different eyes was a grand experience. Have a most wonderful week
