I got the best surprise in the post last week!
My best blogging buddy Rosie Rowe has turned me into a completely spoiled child! Her limited edition line of "Arty-Farty bags" are the perfect blend of art, fun, and frivolity, with a huge dose of practical magic thrown into the mix, and she sent me one as a birthday gift!
I wish I could have videoed myself opening the envelope. You would have seen the longest, loudest, happy dance on record. But alas, my trusty camera is frapping out. Very temperamental these days since it's getting on in years -- it doesn't want to hold a battery charge, and I've had to result to scanning most things I've posted lately. So I waited for a particularly sunny day to snap this pic because I knew I'd get only one shot at it. The photo isn't bad at all, but I can tell you that this bag is totally amazing up close and in person! A hundred times, so! The scrummy flower was an added giftie from Rosie. I pinned it to the bag and I love it there!
So here are places where you can see what Rosie has for sale: Click Here for her Artfire Shop and: Click Here for her Etsy
We should all be good to ourselves, making it a practice to be a little bit better, upping the ante each day. I suggest that you be good to yourself today by treating yourself to a little slice of artsy heaven by visiting Rosie's shops and gifting yourself! Go on! Do it! Buy yourself a pressie! You'll get much more than you paid for!
Yeah, I'd love to have seen your happy dance!!! That's a fab pic and I'm still just happy you're happy... makes me happy!! xoxoxo
