I would describe myself as an optimist, yet sometimes i seem to forget that amongst the craziness of life. Its so easy to do isn't it, one minute all is right with the world, the next minute you've broken the washing machine by accidentally washing a full large box of matches in it (yes, i did that this week) and suddenly everything seems rather overwhelming and destined for disaster... lucky then that i was listing this card featuring one of the most reassuring lyrics of all time from Bob Marley's Three Little birds - the timely reminder of my familiar philosophical buoyancy soon put smile back on my face! :)
When i was designing the card i couldn't decide whether to keep the background plain (as above), or to add a sunrise background (the rising sun is mentioned in the song), so i went with both. Here's the sunrise one.
I also added another card this week featuring one of my favourite quotes, this time about friendship.
The photograph is of a beautiful pink cosmos flower i snapped last summer and i'm really pleased with the way it compliments the wording.
Both cards are priced £2.20 and are available on my website or on Etsy. The vigilant among you will notice that i have finally made the decision to put up the price of my cards... I was so reluctant to but the printing costs have gone up so i have little choice but to pass on the extra expense and i actually feel a lot better now i've done it.
p.s. I haven't finished adjusting all my listings yet so if you want to grab yourself a bargain, now is the time! :)
Personalised Bridesmaid And Flower Girl Keepsakes
I also listed these custom bridesmaid/flower girl keepsakes this week.
They are priced £9 each including a gift box.
I'm more than happy to adapt the colour to suit a wedding theme, or to create something similar for maid of honour/best man/page boy - just contact me via my website or Etsy shop to discuss your requirements!
Nesting Birds Bedroom Bunting
Last but not least, i've listed this pretty bunting, featuring my nesting birds design on printed on organic sateen fabric.
And that's all from me, i've been busier than i thought! I'm looking forward to finding out what the lovely folk over at Planet Penny's Happy Friday and Lucy Blossom's Handmade Monday have been up to now :) See you there! x
