Art makes me happy.  I love seeing people that are so creative take a vision and put it down on paper, canvas, etc.  I like to think I’m a creative person but I know that I am a terrible artist when it comes to drawing.  This probably explains why I am constantly posting about the artwork I find while perusing the net. So I was pretty excited when Shannon Collins shot an email my way introducing her fun little store.

Shannon’s Etsy shop, youwannatalkjive, is full of prints that reflect her obsession with old yearbooks, antique board games, vintage women’s advertising, pop culture and her love for animals.  I enjoy the spin she puts on her pieces and the way they make you smile and giggle a bit.  Here are a couple of my faves…

    Hi,
    I love your blog, it’s fantastic! You seem to care a lot about animals, so I thought you might like to know about Save a Sato, an organization in Puerto Rico that helps find homes for stray and abused dogs. That’s how I got one of mine:)
