new york post

i have been having difficulty with the new typepad formatting, that's why this is taking so long. you know how it is when you have to relearn something that you found hard to learn in the 1st place! anyway, please bear with me, i'll be back to regular blogging soon!  

nyc

this is my last posting for a bit. i'll be back Friday 23rd. off to new york.

beautiful kit

lily received this gorgeous Russian inspired kit which includes 4 lined drawings, great markers with brushes for tips + a cute little booklet. The illustrator Aurelia Fronty hails from France + so does the kit. Hooray!
