Cute Pink Roses - And (Also) the Bear Rides Again...

The picture shows a selectionof home decor items, all made out of a bright pink rosey chintz fabric, with green leaves, stalks and speckles.
"Watercolour Chintzy Roses" available on fabric, 
home décor and more at Spoonflower.


Hello there

Hope all's been well with you these last couple of weeks. But as time rather ran away with me last week, this newsletter is (I hope!) a double bill of joy and news.

First things first. The bright and gorgeous chintzy rose floral fabric you see in the picture above is now available at Spoonflower. In the end, it was this (based on my own hand-painted rose motifs) that I've also decided to submit for their "Chintz Revival", contest (which you can vote in here, if you'd like).

And in utterly unrelated news: Father's Day is Coming Up on June 21st...

A fact which led me to realise that  a) I haven't offered nearly enough designs on this topic for you, and b) a certain bear on a bicycle with balloons from previous posts might just be perfect for this purpose too.


Well, it seems like he really has found his niche, and he's available to buy (as a printed card or a download that you print and give as you like-handy if the deadline is looming a bit for you as you read this).


You can personalise the message on the front and the wording inside the card as much as you like (or remove it completely). So in fact, this is a cycling bear that can please people year-round, if you want.


Finally

As ever, thanks so much for reading down this far. There'll be more news on cards in upcoming posts. (I've missed doing them for you soooo much).

In the meantime, have a lovely week, and thanks so much for being here.

More soon.

Hello there, and hope all is well with you.

Am just dropping in quickly to let you know that my new "Chintzy Roses and Bees" design is available to buy on fabric, wallpaper and home décor at Spoonflower.

It's based on an original watercolour, and designed to evoke feelings of summer in your home, with romantic roses, and the whimsical addition of bees hiding in the pattern too.

There will be much more info about this and other new designs soon. As I said, I'm just sending-(or more accurately, scheduling) this at some speed. 

For the watercolour-rose-sketch-curious-people

If you're the kind of person who likes to see how designs develop, here's a pic of  some of the original rough watercolour sketches.

And yes, the lavender is still in the mix for later designs. Watch this space...

Even more importantly

Huge apologies if you were expecting this newsletter last week. Life is up in the air at the moment, but should be back to the usual sending pattern in a week or two.

In the meantime

In the meantime, if you like what you see of the finished wallpaper, that link to Spoonflower is here.

And in any event, thanks so much for being here, and my apologies once again.

More soon.
