Product Crush: Jessica Durrant Watercolors

I like to browse Esty every now and then for various purposes; to get inspired for my own DIY, drool over the art selections, and they even have a great 'vintage' section. Today's home page showed a bold blue watercolor of a vespa by Jessica Durant. Never did I imagine what I'd find when I clicked over to her shop:

How amazing are these watercolors? Although Jessica is inspired by travel and fashion, one could only dream to see ombre like this in real life.

Bike Basket Alternative

How great is this alternative to the typical panniers or milk crates?
