Daily Discoveries: Reminders of Nature

The weather is finally perfect for gardening and making that patio space your safe haven. Or, if you're an apartment dweller, it's the perfect time to bring the outdoors inside. Our Etsy Dallas Spring Bash artists have some great items to bring you a daily dose of nature and remind you of the great outdoors (even if it comes in the form of a blue grizzly bear).

1. Lizard Air Plant Pocket by Both Hands Studio 

2. Green Baby Goddess by Two Clay Hands

3. Garden Torches by Cockrell Iron and Paint 

4. Aqua Blue Bear by Fuzzy Hippo 

(Discoveries by Emily of Fuzzy Muffins.)

Some of the areas coolest artists will be at the 5th annual Etsy Dallas Spring Bash on April 27. Looking to spruce up your life with a fun new color combination? May I suggest a refreshing dash of Etsy classic: blue and orange. Click the photo to browse further...
