I love this idea. You can convert any favorite photograph into a true work of art at Canvas On Demand. They take your prized photograph and transform it into an amazing canvas work of art. You have two rendering options to choose from; PhotoRealistic, bringing your photo to full life even more vivid than the original, or BrushStroke, which appears to have been produced by delicate strokes of an artist’s brush. They also offer two primary finishing options. The canvas can simply be stretched and framed to your specification, or it can be Gallery Wrapped (my favorite), stretching the canvas over a wooden frame so that the edges of the material are drawn around it.
And even cooler, Canvas On Demand has just introduced their new Photosplits™ – they “split” your photo into a 3 or 4 panel piece of Canvas artwork. These gallery wrapped canvas panels come together to make a photo-to-art screen. Sizes range from 36″x24″ to 90″x60″. The 3 or 4 panels are standard, but they can do any number of panels any size in any configuration!
Canvas On Demand recently relaunched their site with a fresh, updated look and feel, in improved customer interface and faster image uploads. And they’re celebrating with a grand re-opening sale that’s oh-so grand.

Yes, it’s true. Peanut has turned seven. And you’ll never guess what she requested for her gift. Converse. An average pair of kicks won’t do for this pint sized fashionista. She wants to design her own pair. And she shall.
She can pick the materials, colors, trimmings and more. It’s fun, fast and super easy – and it’s a great activity for us to do together. When we’re done, she’ll have a pair of sneakers that are as unique as she is.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEANUT!!!!!

I’ve always been a big fan of The Museum Store Company 
. It’s the perfect place to discover unusual gifts and one of all time favorite places to shop for earrings. I’m particularly enamored of some of their reproductions of classic Egyptian designs.
Egyptian 24K Gold over Sterling Silver with Lapis Earrings – $58
Their extremely well edited collection includes the best of the best from museum gift shops worldwide. If you fell in love with something on your last visit to Prado or Met, didn’t buy it and it’s been haunting you ever since, you just might find it here.
“Thebes Earrings with Turquoise – Egyptian, c. 960 B.C.” 
– $28
One of the nicest things about the jewelry at the Museum Store Company is the quality – these are superbly well made pieces. And the prices are pretty incredible, too, with dozens of earring options available for under $60.
