Prepping and sanding, that’s what my weekend has been like so far. \u00a0We are working fervently to get our front porch finished before the snow flies. \u00a0Wait, what did I just say? Before the snow flies? \u00a0It isn’t even Halloween! I know, but in upstate New York, the weather can change faster than you blink. \u00a0We just need to get the porch floor stained and then put the rails back on and we’ll be good. Flying snow reminds me of Christmas and the upcoming holiday season will soon be upon us. I am really excited to share a great\u00a0site I just found called Minted.<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0Have you heard of it? \u00a0Minted is\u00a0 the\u00a0world’s premier marketplace for independent design. Their\u00a0mission is to find exceptional artists and designers all over the world and bring their work to consumers who appreciate great design.<\/p>\n

Minted crowd-sources design and art from a global community of independent designers, then sells their best designs as fine products such as stationery, wall art, and d\u00e9cor for the home, holidays, and occasions. \u00a0I love their site and what really caught my eye are the great Holiday and Christmas cards<\/a>\u00a0that are available. Some I really like are:<\/p>\n
