Firefly Product Roundup

Apparently I’m on a summer product kick, as today’s roundup features my favorite summer bug (one of very few bugs I actually like), the firefly! Or lightning bug, depending on where you are. I use both in speech. Virginia’s weird like that.

When me and my family went camping recently at Hungry Mother State Park (highly recommend!), the mountain climate meant that fireflies surrounded our cabin in full force at night. I always forget how much I love seeing those weird glowing bugs until they appear again. I don’t care about the science behind the glow. I’m calling it magic.

Here’s the firefly product roundup, a little tail-end of summer magic for you.

firefly product roundup products

1) Glass For Happy, Fireflies Bead & Kari Beads, Glass Firefly

Okay, yes, this is two items, but they’re quite similar. The Glass For Happy fireflies come in minimum sets of 3, and have an option to add holes for beadwork. Also just beautifully simple. When I came up with this topic for the roundup, I wanted to find a glass lightning bug that I loved, and these fit the bill nicely.

The Kari Beads fireflies are more expensive, but their rear ends are glow-in-the-dark. The overall design is also more detailed. I love both works, but would definitely not use the Kari Beads one for something that needs a lot of fireflies!

2) Lara Paulussen, Fireflies Tote Bag

Normally I don’t include bags in these roundups, but this design on a bag looks amazing. Seriously, more than any other design here, Paulussen’s art captures the magic of a night of catching lightning bugs. It’s also available as a print, if you want the whimsical piece on your wall.

3) Loft817, Firefly Jar Dictionary Art Print

I love altered book art like this print. The design is laser-printed onto old dictionary pages! Each print is unique. This would probably look right at home in a cottage retreat in the woods, right beside a shelf full of books and a window seat…

4) Haley Bubley, Eco-Friendly Bulb Art Print

Speaking of great wall art for your cabin, this whimsical design is top notch! A+ for the clever humor here. I have to wonder, though–how would you keep the bugs alive if they’re encased in the glass? …I’m probably thinking about this too much…

5) La Chicharra, Glow in the Dark Firefly Enamel Pin

A lovely pin! And it glows in the dark! So maybe don’t wear it during games of summertime hide and seek. Or do. Whatever. You do you. I’ll just be over here digging this luminous work.

6) Design Cardinal, Lightning Bug Sticker

Nice clean lines and colors and a gorgeous design. Love it. Also available as a nice print on Society6 , and on tons of other items on Redbubble. Put your bold firefly everywhere!

Campfire Product Roundup

Howdy! I’m going camping this week, and in honor of that adventure, this is the campfire product roundup! Because who doesn’t need a little more fire in their lives? I mean really. Especially a good dry Christmas tree fire. Good times.

1) Hot Pine Press, Campfire Sew On Patch

I am always down for neat screenprinted patches, and this green design fits the bill perfectly. Even more impressive that you can see so much detail with only 2 colors!

2) Parlor Trick Prints, Campfire Pin

Okay, in all honesty, the face on the marshmallow kind of creeps me out. Other than that, this pin is super cool. Simple but bold. I dig the whole shop, really.

3) Kristin’s Paintbrush, Campfire Vinyl Sticker

A little different than the standard campfire sticker, this lovely piece started on canvas. One reviewer said it’s like having a mini painting, and they’re not wrong!

4) Sheila Rae Van Delft, Campfire 1 Art Print

When I first saw this work I was certain I saw a photograph. Nope! It’s a painting! Sheila has other beautiful surprisingly realistic impressionistic nature scenes up for sale, so if chill rustic is your vibe, check her out!

5) rusticautumn, Campfire Poster

This photograph perfectly captures the feeling of relaxing in a gorgeous place, with a cup of your favorite beverage in hand, the warmth of the fire fending off the cool of the water. I love it.

6) sebmatton, Campfire T-Shirt

The minimalism of this design is top notch. Just be careful about what color shirt you get–the color of the interior flame will change with the color of the shirt. Perfect for creating a little green fire, though…maniacal villain laughter? Where?

Blue Hydrangeas Product Roundup

Happy Summer! In honor of the (hot sweaty) season, I’ve found six cool artsy-fartsy items that show a flower I love that’s starting to bloom in my area, the hydrangea.

Hydrangeas come in colors ranging from blue to purple to pink to even red and white. Outside my bedroom window, I have a massive blue hydrangea bush. My dad has tried his best to knock back the mass, but they just keep growing.

hydrangeas

It’s big and I love it.

Anyway, here’s some stunning blue hydrangea art works and products for you to enjoy!

blue hydrangeas products

1) Of The Earth/Flower Seed Paper, Bright Blue Hydrangea Pressed Flowers

These beauties inspired this post! This pack comes with 25 of the small blue flowers that make up the big bundles of color I love, perfectly pressed for all your hydrangea needs. The store also has papers with flowers, seeds, and other greenery embedded in them, along with tons of other pressed flowers.

2) Senniman Calligraphy, Blue Hydrangea Soft Enamel Pin

I love a good pin, and this enamel hydrangea fits the bill. The design is simple yet elegant, gold-lined but not too feminine for my tastes. Basically the perfect hydrangea pin.

3) Suren Art, Hydrangea Flowers and Ruby Throat Hummingbird Art Print

Before I gave up on trying to manage the feeder, we used to have hummingbirds flutter above my hydrangeas. Hummingbirds and hydrangeas always remind me of sitting in the window with a good book, tea, and my cat. I adore this print and all the memories it calls to mind.

4) Color and Color, Blue Purple Hydrangea Flower Sticker

The watercolor style of this piece captures the colors of the hydrangea beautifully! The addition of the purple is very nice. The design comes on tons of other products, so head to Redbubble and see what you like!

5) Hello Twiggs, Blue Hydrangeas Art Print

A lovely soft photograph of a bunch of flowers at the peak of their bloom. Displaying this print would be an easy way to bring a little brightly-colored summer into the chilliest of winter rooms!

6) Junkydotcom, Floral Water Color Blue Lilac Dress

Yes, the title says “blue lilac”, but those are definitely some gorgeous blue hydrangea on the pattern of this dress! I haven’t worn a dress since…2011, maybe? But this one’s great. This artist has a bunch of pretty flower patterns, check them out!

BONUS
