happy st. patrick's day!

A little bit of green today since it's St. Patrick's Day! I don't have any clover-motif work, but thought this wee green woodburned birdy would be a perfect start to a lucky day. Hope everyone has a chance to enjoy some green beers today!

collage: heart gun

A lovey-dovey collage to share with you for the weekend... I like to think that he is sort of a modern day cupid.

spotted in holland

How very exciting! Jan from Poppytalk was nice enough to send over a press clipping the other day from Eigenhuis & Interieur. Sent to her by an artist from Holland, the article lists her wonderful blog (as well as many others), and to my surprise, features two cabin + cub designs!... woohoo! The fawn and swallow designs are from my bookplate and greeting card designs. I think this is a good kick start for me to try and start making official press kits this year :)

room6

Nestled in Deep Cove in Vancouver, is one of my favorite shops to visit. Designated as a shop carrying "special things for nice people," Room6 definitely has no shortage of splendid things for the many special people in one's life. New stock of decor, stationary, jewelry, accessories and clothing arrives frequently, so every visit always brings great surprises. Be on the lookout for some of my wood burnings here too!

more marimekko

I thought I would share another Marimekko piece that we have in our little home. This one is newer (I think you can still buy this pattern from any Marimekko store) and it is the fist stretched wall hanging I had attempted to do myself. After a lot of stretching and staple gunning, it turned out fairly straight... yay! It hangs across from our vintage Marimekko piece, so they live as a happy pair.

collage: blowing bubbles

The forecast for this week in Vancouver is supposed to be pure sunshine... so I am crossing my fingers that Mr. TV Weatherman will be right and not let me down again. Anyways, thought I would post a bright and sunny collage... nothing like blowing colorful bubbles, while wearing a sunny yellow sweater!
