Inexpensive art from Etsy

I got the print for my pink bathroom framed and hung up. I'm really happy with it. I bought it from the Etsy shop Persian Garden for $25. The artist suggested this Ribba frame from Ikea, and I think it looks great. (Thanks for picking it up, Mom!)
I also picked up this little Robot mounted print from Stephanie Fizer's Etsy shop when it went on sale for $15. It will be perfect in Luke's soon-to-be-redesigned robot bedroom. If you're searching for art on Etsy, be as specific as possible or you'll get an overwhelming number of hits. For the bird print, I searched "pink and brown art print" and narrowed it down to about 400 pieces before I found the right one.

I didn't know Luke was going to have a robot room... cool!

The bird print looks awesome. And I love the robot.

I love these! I had a hard time finding art on Etsy when I didn't know what I wanted so I couldn't be specific.

But I'm disappointed you didn't go get meatballs at Ikea. I swear they're delicious.

Great prints - and excellent tip on the searching (except that I never really know exactly what I want until I see it...sigh).

Katie, I am so sorry to tell you, but don't use that fabric again for your next tote. Because it is plastic or whatever, it fell apart along all of the stitch lines. It is almost like the needle cause little holes and it was perforated. I only carried two water bottles and a snack to the Y yesterday and the handles and top ripped off. I am not mad, nor do I want a new one, I just want you to know that the fabric won't work for another if you try it!
