With the season of gratitude upon us, I have to extend a huge thank you to all of you fabulous readers for making Making This Home what it is.  So thanks!  Another huge chunk of gratitude goes out to this month’s sponsors.  I couldn’t do it without these lovely ladies.  Hope you love their beautiful creations and ideas.  Here we go!

(If you are interested in becoming a sponsor yourself, I’d love to welcome you.  Please visit this page for more information.)

The lovely Joye of Joyeful Art has some beautiful new work to share in addition to her fascinating paintings.  She writes, “I have opened a new Etsy shop (as of Friday!!), and I am offering fine silver pendants for sale showcasing my watercolors. This pendant is using my watercolor, “Blue and Orange” and is 1″x 1″ with a sweet flower etched in the back. The chain is 18″ long and made from sterling silver.”  Catch her on Twitter as well.

The Borrowed Abode is a blog offering rental-friendly decor and organization solutions to both renters and homeowners alike. Having rented more than 11 spaces in only 9 years, Jane’s had to make do with all sorts of quirky living spaces. Creating small-space storage solutions, decorating rented homes, turning trash to treasure, building furniture to fit odd spaces – these are just some of the projects that Jane tackles and shares on the blog. And she’s doing it all while trying to make the world a better place, through simplifying, upcycling, and shopping for fair trade goods. Jane shares her borrowed abode with her boyfriend Ryan, as well as two cats and two dogs.  You’ll love Jane’s blogging space and tweets.

E. Kelly O’Neal is the artist behind ekovisions photography (e.k.o. visions = ekovisions!  How cute is that?).  Kelly is in love with artsy abstract nature photos. Reminiscent of an impressionist painting, her photos capture the essence of a place but subdue the details. And there are no security guards ready to slap your wrist if you want to touch her impressionism work… not that I know anything about museum guards.  She adores the serenity and stillness they reflect, a nice contrast to the frenzy of life itself. Browse her still-growing etsy shop, follow her tweets, and enjoy autumn pieces from  her recent journey to New Hampshire.

The Hope Tree is a stunning little etsy shop selling vintage and antique items found in France. Its owner, Hayley, is a South African who married a French man and was whisked off to his hometown of Strasbourg, France.  Hayley loves the process of finding French treasures and sharing them with the world. Other than the etsy shop, she also makes art with South Africa in mind. And best of all, she says… she is a mom.  Here’s her blog, and here’s where she tweets.

A big thank you to all of these beautiful sponsors.  Like what you see?  I know I do!
