Friday Finds

This week's Friday Finds items are...

A local artist recently caught my eye on Facebook. "Located way up high in beautiful Colorado, Stacia Mann Art creates unique mixed media pieces, influenced by the beauty of the Rocky Mountain region." I adore many of her prints. Check out these beauties from her Home Town Series...
I 💗 and miss Manitou, so will be purchasing that print for sure!

One of my all time favorite Colorado companies is Salus, which got its start in Manitou Springs and has grown. They sell amazing bath and body care products like soap, bath bombs, scrubs, lotion, and much more! Some of my absolute favorite items are...
Whipped Sugar Soap - it's foamy, moisturizing, scrubby and awesome!
Shea Butter Cream - this stuff is a must for Colorado winters! It is so thick and moisturizing.
Palisade Peach Chardonnay SoapMountain Mint Soap, Long's Peak Lavender Soap, Raspberry Sugar Soap
They offer a huge selection of fragrances/essential oils for all liquid and creamy items (like the lotion, scrubs, etc.). If you're lucky enough to shop in store, you can smell all the scents and even ask for a custom blend since they mix it all up when you're ready to make your purchase. Be sure to check out the Salus Facebook page for coupons and news!

Shortly after moving back to Colorado, I ordered some hand-painted wooden signs from Brandi's Designs. She does beautiful work! We now proudly display these signs in our home:

VinVan Knits creates wraps/shawls, hats, headbands, fingerless gloves, mittens, scarves, cowls, and coffee cozies. She is currently offering Christmas in July deals, so make sure to check out her Facebook page! I can't wait to use the stunning Vail Triangle Wrap (blue) that I purchased. 

Quirky Queendom creates wooden signs embellished with felt flowers. Isn't this lovely?


Last, but certainly not least...
Greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, and mini albums handcrafted by my talented friend Tanya at Tatiana's Corner.
