5 out of 5 starsBeautiful. Quietly amazing. Entrancing. Calming. These words and more serve to try to define these prints I have just received from Melissa at ThisYearsGirl. It was a wonderful offer offered here of "Buy Two Prints, Get One Free" and thank you. But I would've paid full price for one does not find art like this often. The prints I selected were "Secret Places", "The Wing Collector" and "Spirit Walk" collectively. I would say that you owe it to yourself to view these prints as well as the many other lovely and again, unique examples of Melissa's talent here in her Etsy storefront. Shipping was prompt and packaging was beyond sufficient. Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsI received today this unique and beautiful print entitled "Retreat To Calm". When I first saw it here on Etsy, I was quite taken with it. Why, even the sizing on the item stands alone which is 5" X 15" is not something one finds often and it causes the beauty of "Retreat To Calm" to make one look and then look again. I will be having a suitable frame made for this and will grace to this review a update when it is hanging in my home. Thank you very much for sharing your talent here, Melissa.

5 out of 5 starsVery awesome. Got this as a gift for a dear friend and it slipped through the cracks. She got back to me and made sure it was received on time and with extras! Quality item and customer service!

5 out of 5 starsI've been wanting a copy of this print for quite awhile and finally bought a 5x7 print. It is beautiful even with the sense of sadness that it projects. I put it in this blue-green and gold, wood frame - it's 8x10 matted to 5x7 - and together it looks amazing! I am very pleased with my purchase. The artist has several other prints that I would like to have, her artwork is interesting and I love the fairytale themed prints - I hope she does more of them.

About ThisYearsGirl
Mist and Dreams
Hello and Welcome. I'm Melissa, a graphic artist from Pennsylvania.
Through my photography and photo manipulations, I like to create my very own little dream worlds and secret places. I hope you enjoy stepping into them.
"Ethereal, Surreal, Whimsical, and Mysterious. Melissa's art, for me, fits perfectly into the winter season. Her pieces hold the mystery of mist and fog, the tranquility of fresh fallen snow and a kind of beauty that steps from reality into a surreal world all its own..."
