New Postcards!

Hi everyone! My postcards arrived in the mail yesterday, and I now have a set of 3 available in my shop (I can sell them cheaper in sets, but feel free to email me if you only want one)! Sets are $9.00 USD. The cards are professionally printed on very thick sustainably sourced paper. The front is glossy, but the back is left with a satin finish so you can write on them easily.






I hope you like them! Also, I've got some new drawings in the works that I will share soon!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! <3

Greeting Cards!

Hello everyone! I'm now offering some greeting cards in my shop. I have three designs available right now. They come in packs of 3 (with envelopes), and you can choose between 3 of the same design or buying a set which includes all three designs. Cards are blank inside so that you can write your own message. Card sets are $12.00 USD. 

These are professionally printed and I'm very pleased with the quality. The paper is very thick (340 gsm), which makes them very sturdy for displaying on a table or mantle. The paper is FSC credited and PH neutral.


The cards:








I hope you like them! <3

New Drawings For Sale!

These are now for sale in my shop!

Bird's Nest
(Original ACEO - 2.5 x 3.5")





Tyger, Tyger
Sold!
This one measures approx. 3 x 3.5"



Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

(excerpt from The Tyger, by William Blake)

Presents to Myself.... (And 7 Things...)

So I have a habit of buying little things for myself when I am under stress. (READ: I recklessly spend money throughout the entire second half of any given semester.)

Anyway, I wanted to share my most recent etsy purchases! All of these items are handmade, inexpensive, and totally worth it.

From Yee Von:

 I smiled so much when my mailman gave me this hand-decorate envelope! So precious!

 So... I've got a confession: I'm a terrible photographer. Like, really terrible. So I hope you'll go see this gorgeous pocket mirror and postcard in Yee Von's shop, because I could just not do them any justice. (That little deer is the back of a hand-written note from Yee Von - so beautiful.)


(This image is taken from Alice's esty shop - I have the black cover version.)


This is the first story in the book. As soon as I got my package in the mail, I sat down and read this hand-made book cover-to-cover. It contains a mixture of beautiful and absolutely hilarious stories and poems, all of which I highly recommend! I didn't want to give anything away by posting photos, but this book is filled with some absolutely stunning illustrations that are not to be missed!

From Lulu Bug:



I have had this necklace for a few weeks now and it has quickly become one of my favorite necklaces! I am completely enamored with the delicate little bird and it looks good with everything! I got the tiny version, because I like small jewelry, but there is a larger version with this design as well.


Now, I was tagged by the lovely Vanilla, so here are 7 things you probably don't want to know about me...

1. I am going to school to be a children's librarian.
2. I drink way too much tea (as in 5 cups a day is a "slow day" for me).
3. My favorite charity is the World Wildlife Fund.
4. Rice noodles are delicious.
5. I love dolls, too! Pinky St and J-Dolls are my current favorites. I have too many, I don't know how my fiance lives with me.
6. I haven't been getting any homework done because I've been playing this game on my ipod.
7. I'm a Taylor Swift fan. Like, not even a closet Taylor Swift fan. It's bad.

I tag... Kathy, Cecil, Michele, and Shayla. <3
