Restocking my Etsy shop!

Having been absent from my

Etsy shop now for 

several months

and pondering which way forward

would be the right way for me,

in light of their newly

introduced payment platform,

I decided that this is still the best selling platform 

for my artwork

so

recently listed are these new Vintage collaged tags

 

 

These large tags have been created from

many different pieces of vintage cotton lace,

dyed doilies, vintage fabrics,

lace fabrics onto a tag.

 

Very often you want to give something more than a card
as a gift and this could be that alternative!

 

 

So if this is your thing then pop over to my Etsy

to see what may interest you there!

I'm hoping to list a couple of my little fabric and ephemera books

there shortly so keep checking!

And

thank you always for visiting me here and leaving

kind comments! They are so welcomed!

Enjoy your week!

The Light of Spring!

  Blooming, blossoming, breezy,

renewal, rejuvinating and refreshing

are words coming to mind

for me right now

as we transition from a very cold winter 

here in Australia

 

 

 

 to the season of Spring, new life, blue skies

 

new growth everywhere and new bird song

 is promising us

 it really is just around the corner!

 

and this is my tribute to this new season!

 

So many thoughts and feelings

shining through this little book making us

feel truly alive and loved!

 

 

We truly are looking forward to sitting under a tree, 

reading a book,

listening to the bees,

watching the fish jump in our lake, 

kayaking in the warm water

and 

watching the honeyeaters steel their nectar!

Just some of the things which bring contentment!

Bliss oh joy!

Love to you all!

Coastal Walk with Magnificent Scenery

As this morning was such a beautiful, clear and sunny

Sunday my DH, Jeff, Lilly,

 our 14year old poodle and I

took a glorious walk through coastal bushland

to a headland out to sea not far

from where we live

on

the far south coast of Australia.

 

As there was no one else around

we had the whole walk to ourselves!

 

 

Little paths off the main track led us to
amazing views of the coastal beaches!

 

 

You can see where the name "Sapphire Coast"
derives it's name from!

 

 

 

 

Steep cliffs dropping into the sea like these:

 

 

Wind swept trees!

 

And this is what we saw when we arrived 
at the headland!
 

 

 And the walk back through the bush

with the Melaluca trees leaning into each other!

Feeling very blessed to be living so close to such

an amazing rugged coastland along the 

far south east coast of Australia!

 

Thank you all for coming along this walk with me

and wish you all a wonderful day!

Fairytale Cards and a New Book in the Making

I recently used these two beautiful Arthur Rackham images

which I edited and incorporated into these large

cards as gifts to friends.

 

They really take you away riding on the wings

of angels!

I adore the works of this famous Childrens Illustrator,

Arthur Rackham!

 

 On my table at the moment are the materials,

thoughts, words and feelings for a new

book I've entitled

"Fragile Heart"

 

How many of you feel you can relate to these words?

Hoping to share the finished pages and book soon

but 

I just wanted to remind you all that if you would like to

take advantage of a 50% discount on the

workshop where I teach my book techniques

then just pop over to Creative Workshops to read all about it 

 as there are only two days left

to enrol at this discounted price.

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday

and

thank you all for continuing to leave such kind comments here.
