I’m in the country for a couple of days - I wish I had a picture of all the chickadees I saw in the snow this morning, but sadly I don’t. I can tell you that right now in the shop, shipping is free on all orders of $20 or more! Just check out as usual, and I will refund the shipping costs before sending your items. Happy shopping!  (On until Novemember 30.)

I am loving the illustration work of Brigette Barrager - there’s so much style & warmth & motion in her characters. She has an etsy shop full of things I love, but the best, the absolute best, are these cool family tree, jewelry stand things she does, full of little portraits. So great!

The holidays seem pretty far off still … but it’s not too early to get thinking about holiday cards!

New in the shop, available individually or in packs of 8.

happy holidays

I love love *love* the muted colours of Feaverish’s photography, especially in this amusement park series (prints available on Etsy).
