HEY, YA'LL...
Have you discovered DIANE DUDA, artist extraordinaire ???
WHAAAAT....??????
You haven't...??
I am already doing a bit of CHRISTMAS shopping and her shop is one I've been stalking.....
She sells her originals so fast, they don't stay around long...
but
she has an ETSY SHOP just full of some original art...
lots of awesome prints....
and she does the neatest thing with mounting your choice of prints
on boards.
I am lucky to own ONE of her originals...and hope to get more later.
In the meantime, her PRINTS are so great, it's almost as good as the original.

.....hey, NANA DIANA...
I know YOU think your SWEET CHEEKS is the sweetest...and I think so, too.
THESE cheeks are kinda sweet, too....
little hearts...
and just take a look at those little heart shaped, pursed lips...
sooo stinkin' cute...
This one I am showing was for my daughter*in*law's birthday....
It's mounted on a board and I gave her a pretty, fancy little easel to hold it.
She's partial to anything patriotic so I knew she would love this little touch of AMERICANA and a bright color spot for one of her rooms.
...isn't she so adorable !!
I ordered several more for CHRISTMAS GIFTS so they can't be shown on the blog just yet...
but, they are all SOOOOO cute and I can't wait to give each one picked out especially for that one special person in my life.
This one is so stinkin' cute, I don't know what to do....
Somebody in my family is gonna looove this for their very own....
You KNOW I'll share them with you after Christmas...
(omygosh..it's right around the corner)
OOO, OK....
I'll share PART of another one with you....

RANDOM NOTE:
It was like finding a CHRISTMAS present when I found this at the grocery store....

LOVE YOU ALL...

Another day, another great new look around here! You should be designing blogs! I am also impressed that you have already started Christmas shopping. I need to take lessons.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link...her artwork is one of a kind and just SO cute!! I have to have a peek. Good for you thinking of Christmas already!
ReplyDeleteI have to try that popcorn...if you eat the healthy stuff for awhile. you can indulge in the salty buttery stuff every once in awhile! Well, that's my motto anyway! :)))
XO,
Jane
Cuteness for certain. I'm off to visit her shop.
ReplyDeleteI love Diane's art and have a couple of her prints, too! The beach art...and Christmas are my favs! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ. This artwork is adorable. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the patriotic too. Sooo cute.
Whoever are getting these will love them. Seems like we just had Christmas but here it is again. :)
Have a good evening BJ. Blessings.... Becky
My Summer would love Diane Duda's art! She collects Americana so I am always looking for things as gifts for her. I'll have to stop by that Etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteVee is right - you are so good at blog designing! Amber has to do mine or I would be using a standard template - and nothing wrong with that!
Hi, bj! Diane's artwork is adorable! It just makes you smile. I bet your DIL loved her gift!
ReplyDeleteShe does great work - love the sign.
ReplyDeleteI need to get crackin on my Christmas shopping but have to get a few Bdays out of the way first.
Have a great weekend. When are you moving to the summer house?

The artist is darling and talented, thanks for pointing her out here.
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH, bj. Those are the cutest SweetCheeks. Not quite as cute as the REAL LIVE SweetCheeks but pretty darned cute. I have to head over there-wouldn't that be a great gift for SOMEONE with cute cheeks in MY family? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteps. The other day SCheeks other grandmother said- Julia (her real name). She looked at her and said- You know-YOU can just call me SWEET CHEEKS cuz that's my SECOND name! lol
I am so happy you buy from an artist. Will go to her site.
ReplyDeleteBJ, you KNOW your cuteness! Thanks for the tip - I'm going to have a look.
ReplyDeleteDear BJ, so Christmas is nearing (yes - in one shop I already saw Lebkuchen - although we still have warm summer temperatures). You are planning far ahead - but that is good, especially if one finds so cute presents!
ReplyDeleteXO Britta
There are going to be some big smiles in your family Christmas day. These are darling, BJ.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, my sweet friend.
Oh so cute! I am going to shop too:) Have a blessed day dear BJ, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThanks, BJ. You're the best.
ReplyDeleteDid you even know you were featuring me on my birthday?!? xo di
You always find the cutest things. I definitely will be checking her out and start hunting for that popcorn. Yum. Take care and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute! And I eat the unhealthy popcorn. Either the Pour Over Movie theatre variety or the Caramel. I'm even getting tired of the word healthy. It's beginning to sound a bit profane. LOL The sugars and fats are the yummy stuff.... and while they may kill you, to die is gain... right? Heaven is a wonderful place... full of glory and grace.... I wanna see my saviour's face, cuz heaven is a wonderful place. *singing*
ReplyDeleteCute. I love the patriotic one. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
ReplyDeleteHello bj, I do love this sweet artist's work. The Americana look is awesome. I also Christmas shop 'early' A big family is a great motivation. Good for you.smile. I hope you are feeling good as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Love, Jeanne
I admire anyone who can paint cause I cant. lol Great post HPS Michelle
ReplyDeleteLoved your folksy art! Cute. I bet I would love the popcorn too but not just one cup!
ReplyDeleteI am running right over to check her Etsy shop....her work is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSam's has some wonderful and healthy popcorn called Skinny popcorn. It is addicting. I haven't seen this brand but will be looking for it, too! I love my popcorn!
HPS!

How lucky you are to have an original of one of these cuties. I love them.She does great work.
ReplyDelete...and I THOUGHT I knew that woman!!! I had NO idea what a talent she was! She never told me and we have been blogging back and forth..exchanged note...wha' the heck??!! LOL You are so right...just cute as heck. I think I see a bit of "Sweetcheeks" in those faces...don't you?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mona
Ohh...HOW ON EARTH DID I GET THAT WRONG?? I feel SOOO much better. I thought Diana was keeping something from me...and heavens, we couldn't have that. However...I did get it right that those paintings resemble our little Sweetcheeks for sure! :) Even Grandma thought so.
ReplyDeleteHugs...
This artwork is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. So cute.
