The Friday Five: Hearts Galore

February 13, 2015 | Leave a Reply

I didn’t actually mean to have such a Valentine’s Day-focused week on the blog this week, but my posts just ended up that way. I wonder if this is when I’m supposed to realize that I should be moving towards using an editorial calendar for my blog posts? I’ve resisted using such a calendar because I have always taken more of a let-the-blog-evolve-naturally-my-life-is-already-over-scheduled approach to blogging. Anyway, I digress…this post isn’t actually about how to be a blogger. It’s about how to live with hearts! It is February, after all! So, let’s get to it, shall we?

Living with hearts…do you? will you? could you? I’d love to know if any of these spaces strike your fancy.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Enjoy your weekend (it’s a long one for us in Ontario…Happy Family Day, too!).

When one evil eye won’t do, you might just need this print from The Aestate:

Some of you may already know that Posterjack is a great online resource for photo printing and for photo mounting options that go beyond basic framing (e.g., photo canvases, specialty prints like metal and acrylic). This Canadian photo printing company has certainly grown in popularity over the last seven years, and I’m especially keen on it because it was started by one of my highschool friends, Mr. Tim Faught. I love watching other people succeed!

What I recently learned is that Posterjack has quite an extensive art shop, too. As I’m always on the lookout for interesting art for my home (e.g., in my office), I was thrilled when Posterjack offered me a print of my choice. I spent way longer than I thought I would browsing through the selection. Honestly, just about any keyword search is going to reveal dozens of cool prints. Here are some of my favourites:

Petra, Jordan by Diak

Rorschach Test by Akova

Ears of Wheat by Radist

Audio Cassette Isolated on White by Hayati Kayhan

vintage racing car detail by seewhatmitchsee

Placing an order is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3. Customers can easily select a product, select a size, and upload a personal photo or buy one from the art shop. There is plenty of information available regarding finishes, sizes, and photo quality. My order should be arriving any day now, so I’ll be sure to share with you my complete review once I’ve seen the print in person. It’s going to be a pretty one!

Many thanks to Posterjack for sponsoring this post.
