Artful Home

I have found a new obsession.  It's not chocolate, not some fancy coffee drink, no, not even the truffle popcorn at Graze (although, those in the know are aware of my addiction).  I have fallen in love with a guild...a what?


Artful Home is a guild that bridges artists who want to sell their work, with people who want to buy high quality art (no offense, but this isn't the art you'll find at local national franchises such as...well, you know).  The art publishing company was founded in 1985, and has grown to over 10,000 pieces of art from over 1,200 artists, art galleries, and art print publishers (I'm getting this info from their "about us" webpage:  http://www.artfulhome.com/servlet/Guild/AboutGuildPage)...just to cover the whole plagiarism thing.  So if you want to read more, go ahead; I want to talk about the scarves.


In thinking about art, rarely does a person think, "scarf".  But the scarves in Artful Home are works of art.  I know..."It's just a scarf!"   But no, no it isn't.  See for yourself.

This is just a small sampling.  Go to the website and poke around.  I spent the better part of an hour looking through the apparel, the furniture, the paintings, the prints, the baskets, and everything else I was lucky enough to stumble across.

See, sometimes, a scarf just isn't a scarf.
