Into the garden of prettiness...

I'd like to share with you one of the prettiest etsy shops I've come across- Gracie's Garden Bazaar. Here you will find the most beautiful textile jewellery, embroideries and artwork. Cassandras work is stunning and I think you'll agree very affordable for original pieces.

I recently purchased the postcards pictured below, they are very beautiful and are going to go up on my wall in my new work space. I've been setting up a new area at home for painting but the clear out that's going on seems to be taking a lot longer than expected.

 

I hate when I start faffing about organising shelves and drawers instead of getting on with creating but I do like a bit of order to work in.

 

I've added a few new paintings to my etsy shop lately- You'll see a little cat lady popping up involved in various activities. I now have 10 original paintings listed in etsy and for a limited time blog readers and facebook fans can get 50% off from the painting section- just use coupon code PAINT50 at checkout.

 



New Work and a Tee Party

Here are some illustrations I created for postcard designs that I haven't shown you yet, thought you might like a peek at this newer work.

I am also working at the moment with a company in Taiwan called Tee Party, you will see my cosy time design being sold by them in the near future for a limited time on t shirts. I'll let you know when it becomes available.

Lastly I'm having a huge ACEO sale in my etsy shop with 60% off all ACEOs - this offer is for blog readers only - just use coupon code ACEOMAD. Also I'm very close to sale 100 and my 100th sale can choose either a free original ACEO or one of my postcards.

Holiday Break

It's been a little while since my last blog post, no excuses I'm afraid but the summer holidays do seem to have zoomed by and I took a little break from creating. This week is my sons first week at school and I think I will get back into a routine soon enough. He seems to be enjoying it so far, although his first day was a little overwhelming. It feels a little bit strange for me too, he seems to be growing up very fast.

I have done some new work over the last few days and I've also been listing my postcards on etsy. I changed the currency in my etsy shop from $ to £. I hope this doesn't put anyone off my shop but I was finding sometimes with the exchange rate and paypal fees, etsy fees etc it was hard to work out pricing.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will get round to reading blogs and catching up over the next few days and I'll try not to leave it so long until next time.

ACEO - Heart in your hands

Postcard - Be Natural
