Have a nice week end!

Here are some of work in progress :)

It's Saturday and beautiful weather here! Going to the museum as my daughter insists 'I really need to see dinosaurs again today'. :D   I look forward to going to its book store.

Wishing you a great week end, everyone!

Celebration : FREE SHIPPING this month!



July is the month of my birthday and my daughters. 
So we are in the spirit of celebration! We've been visiting different coffee shops and tasting different cupcakes this month!
Also, I have noticed that the number of the admirers on my Etsy shop has just reached 1000!! This is incredible. I remember it was something like 120 people back in January. Thank you so much for your warm and encouraging words here, as they really supported me to keep me going :) 
So we need to celebrate!

As a way of saying "thank you!" to you all, I decided :  
FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE with purchases between 11-31July!  in my Etsy shop. 
I hope it is a good news for customers overseas. I always felt sorry for them paying much for shipping. I will keep adding listings this week. 
I hope some people will find one that speaks to them :) Here are couple of new listings.




I truly enjoyed the Finders Keepers markets last week end! Beautiful building, beautiful weather, creative vibe, dear friends helping and wonderful people visiting the stall... I could not have done it on my own. My friends took turns to play with my girl full of life (in last photo.) and be great with customers in my stall. Thank you!!
It was my very first markets selling my artworks. Little nervous in the beginning but I learnt how wonderful it is to meet the customers in person. So many beautiful moments. It all encouraged me to apply for more markets in the future. Maybe the Finders Keepers markets in Melbourne in October? :)
Some photos from the markets. Don't you love the light? - through the huge stained glass windows in this old museum building. Felt almost holy..!!



Lastly a photo of my favourite coffee shop near where I live. It looks like it was converted from a car garage, covered with vines inside and outside. So nice..!! I'd love it as a place to live in. :)
I hope your week has started well. x Erin
