Happy October! This month my desktop wallpaper takes you on a crisp walk through the woods, where the wildlife watches the leaves fall and the plants turn to seed. While a little squirrel gathering acorns for winter is greeted by a gentle fawn.

I always believed that felt just right - not too soon and not too late. However, this year like last, has been an extraordinary year with delays and backlogs, especially to the distribution of lots of things. Also, the lead up to last Christmas was filled with delivery delays. With that fresh in the minds of many, I can see that the desire to start preparing for the festive season earlier this year is very real (I see you and what you have been adding to your baskets lately!)... So, if you are not ready to step into Christmas, please avert your gaze. For those who can't wait to let the preparations begin and be super organised, the following images are especially for you... This year, I have introduced two new Christmas gift wraps to the collection.... 'Holly and Narcissus' Gift Wrap - a traditional, richly coloured, dark botanical pattern for maximalist nature lovers & 'Driving Home for Christmas' Gift Wrap - a fun, quirky, vintage style pattern featuring little camper vans, dogs and snow topped winter lodges, with a sprinkling of toadstools, holly and robins for the full Christmas experience... Of course there's plenty of stock of last year's favourite, 'Festive Woodland' gift wrap... Also back in stock is the 'Lodges In The Snow' gift wrap... This year I wanted to offer a bigger, better value pack of Christmas cards that can be mixed and matched as sets - but also complement the gift wrap collection. Introducing the 12 Christmas card designs in stock this year. These will be available boxed as sets of 12 (one of each design) or boxed as sets of 24 (two of each design). I will also be offering sets of 6 which can be mixed and matched to your choice.... I hope you enjoyed a first look at what's new for this year's festive season.
Wishing you all a wonderful October Best Wishes

Happy September! A new season begins and it's time to harvest nature's rewards of summer. This month's desktop wallpaper is packed with lots of colourful, seasonal fruit and veg from the garden and allotment. If you would like to get this FREE desktop wallpaper, then here's a link to where to join my mailing list: JOIN MY MAILING LIST HERE As the seasons change and the nights shorten, it's time to look and plan toward the future. This past month, I completed designing my 2022 calendar ready to launch right now! I am delighted to show you each of the 12 illustrations that feature for each month. As with previous year's calendars £1 from every order will be donated to @secretworldwildliferescue to help them in their wonderful work. Thank you to everyone who ordered a calendar last year, that enabled me to make a fantastic donation earlier this year when the final print run sold out. For me it completes a circle. My artwork is inspired by the local wildlife, that in turn hopefully inspires and uplifts others and through sales of these calendars. Meaning, I can directly help in some small way, the conservation of the wildlife near me, and so it goes on. I hope you enjoy having a closer look at the calendar. It is A4 sized, the top page features a whole image which can be recycled as a framed print when the year is complete. The bottom page is filled with spaces for appointments and where the month spreads over 4 weeks, there is also space for a few notes lines. The first print run of stock is now in, so no need to pre order this year because they are now available from both my Etsy and Folksy shops.... Here's a quick thumb through each of the pages for you... Here's to a planning a great new season
and looking forward to an exciting new year. Wishing you all a wonderful September Best Wishes |
