June also makes it about time I had a bit of an offer running over at my Etsy shop.

Etsy are celebrating 13 years with a site wide sale from 18th to 22nd June.  I am going to join that AND bring it forward so my shop sale runs from the
​1st of June to 22nd June...

At the moment, I am busy working away and have lots of new designs brewing and plenty in mind to launch new to my Etsy shop after the summer.  To make way for some new things, it's definitely time to have an offer on the existing things.  

Which is why I am offering 20% off everything in my store for orders over £4...

That offer includes some of the new arrivals to my Etsy which include the
2019 A2 Wall Planners.  
This year there is an additional new design to these. Introducing the
​'Plan a Wild and Wonderful Year' calendar in autumnal colours featuring wild woodland animals, toadstools and leaves.

Also on sale are my illustration prints and posters.  Many featuring wildflowers and birds in vibrant colours to brighten any wall and bring a bit of the outdoors in...

Then there are my A3 nature guide posters (these are also available in A4 size).
​Available in pairs or individually, they are a great way to help identify the birds and wildlife around us....

Or you could opt to stock up on cards and notecards with these multipacks of 8.
My weekly planner notepads always make great gifts, so now would be a good time to get them, or any of the items in my Etsy for less.

I hope you enjoy browsing the Etsy sale.  I know I will, I'm looking forward to discovering some great offers on amazing handmade pieces. If you are an Etsy seller who is also taking part in the site wide event, please leave a comment below and let me know so I can  come and see.

Have a wonderful month!
best wishes

Angie.

Hello!
&
Happy March!  
Whether you are enjoying the snow or the spring flowers, I hope this month finds you well.

Mother's day is nearly upon us here in the UK.  Sunday 11th March is the date to remember.
Over at my Etsy and Folksy shops you'll find lots of lovely spring flavoured paper goods to help you find something pretty for those wonderful mothers....

I've added some more sets of 2, A5 illustration prints, which make lovely gifts.  Also in stock are plenty of my handy A5 planner notepads, that fit nicely into handbags and are colourful way to stay organised....

Also back in stock is my Spring Bunnies gift wrap.  Over at my Etsy shop, I offer a gift wrapping service, where any of my gift wraps can be used to beautifully wrap orders that are being sent out as a gift.  This one is ideal at this time of year, as don't forget, Easter is at the end of this month too (Easter Sunday 1st April this year)....

The big news for all designer makers who regularly use Instagram is,
March is the month of... 

#MarchMeetTheMaker

It's an Instagram wide event/challenge organised by the fantastic Joanne Hawker (who is also a Somerset designer maker & Captain of our Somerset Etsy Team).  
She has set up a dedicated site to help those taking part plan their posts.

I definitely plan to take part as much as I can this month.  I've previously done the November #MeetTheMakerWeek events and found it a great way to discover other lovely businesses, network with like-minded creatives and discover more about my favourite makers.  It's so good to find out about how the things I've bought from online maker marketplaces got dreamt up and created.

If you'd like to meet me as a maker over on Instagram this month, you can find me here:

To find out more about the event, here's a link to the March Meet The Maker website.
​ I look forward to seeing all those posts fill my newsfeed and getting to know you all a bit better...

Come on makers, let's 'Break the Internet' this March! (tee hee!) ...

​Finally, a new month means that all the lovely people on my email list get a newsletter with a free desktop wallpaper for the month.

March's desktop wallpaper features my little iconic sparrow (I say iconic as she seems to feature on lots of my branding).  The reason is, I adore spring, it's my favourite time of year....and in case it's not obvious (ha!) I am rather fond of birds too!  We have a few regular visitors to our garden, not least the lovely little sparrows.  They make me smile every time I see them in the branches of the trees or around the flower beds.  

So March has to be my little sparrow with spring blossom and flowers.
