Beautiful watercolor art is great, but what could make it better? Make it functional. That’s what Michelle Smith did, and I love the combination. Michelle has turned her beautiful watercolor paintings into tea towels, pillow covers, fabric, and necklaces.
Spice things up in your kitchen with a tea towel or two, like this patterned beauty in mauve or this one in heartsy one in blue-green.
Get dolled up with a new necklace or bobby pins. I love the ginko leaf pattern.
Cozy up in your living room with a new pink and coral pillow.
My favorite item in the shop is this flowers pillow cover. So chic and posh.
Get sewing with original Michelle Smith fabric, too.

A rainy place that i love to visit is the woods surrounding my house. Walking through the trees, hearing the raindrops hit the leaves, and noticing the peaceful stop under the tree branches is magical.
Michelle Smith is a favorite of mine on etsy 🙂 I really hope i win this one!!
Best rainy place is Olympic Nat’l Park in WA. It rained the entire time (it is a rainforest) but it was worth it. I recommend staying in the cabins at Sol Duc Springs (no TVs, clocks, etc!). Very remote.
Michelle’s work is lovely. The watercolor tea towels are gorgeous.
Pretty stuff!
I’d love to visit Seattle.
Subscribed!
I briefly stopped in Seattles airport and I’d love to see beyond there. Alaska was one of the rainiest places I’ve been. Sitka, the town I went to, gets as much rain as a rain forest!
Liked her on fb too!
I just want to curl up in my living room with a fire burning and a great show on the tv.
Lake Lure NC is beautiful in the rain (the original Dirty Dancing was filmed there).
