I can't quite believe it's October, where did this year go. I have always loved October, the colours, the weather, the holidays, Halloween & Bonfire Night (Ok that's in November, but only just!) This year I love it even more as October this year is the month Russ & I leave for our 3 month jaunt to Australia, in just over 3 weeks time we fly to Singapore for a wedding and then on too Sydney where we are house swapping until the end of January. I am SO excited BUT there is plenty to do before then. I have just finished this new Belle & Boo illustration.
Trick Or Treat
It is available both
here &
here as a mounted or framed print, it is also available as a postcard & look 2 extra little characters snuck on the end !
Also the doll project I have been involved in for the past year ended this month
& here is my Belle,
isn't she divine, I squealed when I unwrapped her, her glasses, stripy scarf, leather gloves and exquisite cloak, what fun.
Lots, lots, lots more exciting things happening, but that's all for now, have a lovely weekend everyone x
I love this new illustration! And congratulations on your section in Lark! I hope I can make it there on my next trip back home. The shop looks great and your work there definitely makes it adorable!

I've always admired your prints all the way from Sydney. Can't believe you're coming down here, have you considered selling your lovely work at markets? I would love to buy as i can't shop online.
ReplyDeleteI love your new picture. Each one's better than the last, it seems.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for some hot weather. I hope it rains for you while you're here. That's not an insult, over here that's a nice thing to say lately.
I love that doll, when will it be in your shop?
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the spirit of fall/halloween so perfectly with your new Belle print. x x

Mandy! The doll is sooooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI had to write after seeing your belle&boo bag in Red Directs catalogue thus morning - Congratulations-
they have such fab stuff in there and it gets the word out to people who might not otherwise have found you
the Lark shop is probably my idea of heaven!

Cute. Love the doll!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky you get to house swap. It's like that movie with Cameron Diaz & Kate Winslet -
However, who will deal with the store and what about Christmas stuff? Do I need to order now? Are you going to put Xmas stuff up quick, before you leave? Or can Kate handle?
I'm looking for the new print as a postcard but can't find it in either of your shops - has it sold out?
ReplyDeleteOh how funnnn! Wonderful stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove the halloween illustration.
