The Poppy and Pinecone shop is filled with fantastic watercolor paintings of states, countries, quotes, and more.  There’s something for everyone.  But, if you have something specific in mind, Elisabeth can make custom piece, too.

Elisabeth makes beautiful art, but she is also very accommodating, sweet, and talented.

I love the colors in each design.

All  images found via the featured Etsy seller’s listing as linked above.

    I’m not sure if I’d pick a Georgia love print, as it’s my current home…. or an Illinois love print, since it’s where I was born and grew up. Maybe both! Of course… I love the World Love print, too!

    A futuristic contraption? At the moment, I’m lusting after an IPad. ;)

    And a futuristic contraption…I want a washer and dryer that not ONLY washes and dries, but folds and puts clothes in the closet/drawers. I would totally spend my life savings on that. I hate laundry, but oh how I love clothes…

    Also, subscribed to the newsletter (check), already had poppy and pinecone as a favorite on etsy (double check) and now going to add her on facebook…!!!
