Olive Tree Pocket Mirror

I have added another pocket mirror design to my shop! The print, Olive Tree, is now a pretty little pocket mirror.

These little mirrors are perfect for any purse, clutch and especially small bags. They take up minimal room. Made of glass - these give high quality reflections.


Only 10 of the Olive Tree mirror designs are available in the shop!

Blackberry Love

I have entered the evil world of owning a blackberry (Curve). I have been a proud owner for a few weeks now, and I'm pretty much completely fluent in blackberry. I have my background changed, a custom ring tone (On the radio - Regina Spektor), and I even have my little light customized to go multicolored 'disco' when someone calls me.

I love the plaid on this case! I'm all about the plaid these days

So I thought I would browse Etsy and see what wonderful Blackberry offerings were available. I came across these two cases and love them!

Felt Fawn Case - NORMandLOU
The fawn on this case is just too cute :)

Although I have a lime green jelly protecting my gadget, I know I'll be bored of it in another month or so and be on the lookout for something awesome.

Love Mail

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Okay, so a big, wide, round corner...but nonetheless, I have added a new item - Valentine Stationery Set!


In this set, there are four Valentine-themed cards with 4 white envelopes. You will receive one of each card: Spring of Love, All You Need is Love, Tree Love and the Kissing Tree. The lovelies are printed on a nice paper-canvas textured cardstock. You can see a bit of the texture in the image below:

Cardinal Song

Although winter is gorgeous with it's clean white untouched look, and the great feeling you have when you breath in that first morning air. Yes, it's also cold...I won't lie, some mornings that awaking first breath doesn't make me want to climb out of bed...

Cardinal Song

Here is a cardinal brightening up a winter day with not only it's colour but it's beautiful song. It's my first painting for 2010, and my first in my new apartment. Unfortunately, I have not seen a cardinal...but I can only see branches through my office winder, and I wish a bright, cheery bird would brighten that up.

New Pocket Mirrors!

Just before Christmas, I received a new order of pocket mirrors with new designs. There is only 10 of each design available; 5 designs in total. I have listed the first mirror:

Delilah Pocket Mirror

This mirror is based on my Delilah painting, it's one of the many flowers in it:

Connected again to the world!!!

It seems like ages since I've written in my dear blog - well it has been ages! Moving and setting up things like, the internet for instance, turned out to take a lot longer and have more headaches than anticipated. But now it's all okay and I can move on to 'normal' living :P

As some may know, I have moved - again. Sometimes I feel like that pooch from the "littlest hobo" television show - but tis the life of a student.

Anyways, I have Internet and I have loads of great updates for you all :) Stay tuned!

The Big Move!

Orders made from December 14th - January 6th will be shipped on January 8th
or sooner :o)

My shop will be semi-closed after this weekend. I will still be accepting orders / answering e-mails and convos; as well as accepting new custom painting orders for the new year (to be started in January). I've never been a fan of 'halting' productions...but I have no choice.

Not only is it holiday time (gonna go rock around some Christmas tress hopefully!)...But I'm also doing a move to Orillia, Ontario - it's about 3 - 3.5 hours away from where I am now. I don't officially move until the 18th. But to prevent stress and order mix ups, I felt it was better this way. Then I can make sure all orders are out properly before I pack up all my supplies. And there's less panic with all the packing and final exam studying that I also have to do during that time.

I anticipate that orders placed during that time will be out way before the 8th of January...and that my store will actually be fully functioning before then as well. But to be on the safe side, and not disappoint I thought I'd give myself a few more days of 'grace' lol. But I really am hoping I'm back to normal set up by the 4th at the latest! :)

I will post again on the 14th or 15th with a special dealie / contest to those purchasing during that time :)

Cityscape

The cityscape painting for my older brother is finally complete - a few years later.


I ended up doing the bottom "water" part with a painting knife. It was my first real experience painting with a knife, and let me tell you: it's tricky business. But it was well worth it in the end :)
