Christmas is on it’s way, well and truly on it’s way. This is just a quick note for those of you hoping to do some Christmas shopping this week on etsy. My cut off point for international shipping is the 9th (THIS WEDNESDAY) and for local shipping is the 18th (A WEEK ON FRIDAY). So be quick! I’d hate to miss the Christmas deadline :(

Also another reminder – my online shops will be closed during Christmas and until the new year. Panic not I will return :) With even more prints to share. That’s all for now folks!

ps – Etsy shop is now kitted out with a lovely seasonal banner, woop!

Here’s some pictures from the last 3 days , which were spent in the chilly outside promoting pictures and other pretty things. Me, Eireann and Hollie shared the space – and the hot water bottles – in central Nottingham. Above is the Kiosk. Below are some of the treats I took with me.

We had cards, prints, badges, handmade beauties in all shapes and sizes. It was good fun but VERY cold. We survived though!

Above are some gorgeous mushrooms made by Eireann. I did treat myself to a handful of her original prints – which I will share in the future ‘for sure’ (sorry, private joke).

This evening I have RELAX TIME planned. I might even start making myself some new socks. I have chocolate biscuits, soup and omelettes planned – not to mention TONS of buffy… I heart buffy. But before any of that can begin it’s time for a second trip to the post office – go team! ‘Aw jeez’ hehe… sorry…

Well it’s that time already. I’m off to Paris for a couple of days, a well earned break I’d say. I’ll be back on Sunday but it does mean that any orders made as of yesterday until Sunday won’t get processed until Monday :( Sorry about that.

I did the purchasing of incredibly expensive mini shampoos, conditioners and all that jazz. I was a bit miffed to find that an empty (as in, fill with shampoo yourself) travel bottle was £1.65!!! Whereby one with posh shampoo was £1.75!!! Take a wild stab in the dark and guess which one I went for. I’ve found my passport, which is in date – phew. I haven’t packed my bag – very unlike me – but it’s only for a couple of days and you pick the best clothes when you go on impulse. I’ve got my books all ready. I plan to take Evelyn Waugh’s ‘Decline and Fall’ and John Buchan’s ‘The 39 Steps’. I bought a new more portable sketch book yesterday…. which I’ve already started drawing in, ahem. My Camera is charged… my ipod needs charging… I think I’m nearly set.

And on that note, I’ll bring you back a post card ;)

Meet Illya :) Our new housemate. She’s 5 months old, small, cute, funny, sleepy, likes to lick everything and occasionally miss judges distances and headbutts people.

I LOVE HER!
