the shop bug

Thank you to the Shop Bug for making me their Shop of the Week! It's my first time being interviewed (I'm almost always the interviewer!) and so I was quite excited to do so... Take a peek here!

Also, this week I am giving away one set of my 8 plant markers (above) to EVERY customer, until Sunday July 5th. Let's say it's to celebrate my interview at Shop Bug and my first consignment shop in Toronto! (More details to come) Just add to your message the word "gardening" and you will get a free set.

The 8 markers are:
• basil
• oregano
• coriander
• mint
• thyme
• rosemary
• sage
• parsley

PS. All my plants but one are dead (the coriander). I screwed up somehow, haha. I won't need these plant markers, so take them away from me!

and the winner is...

The random winner of the last Oh Sweet Woods special edition is #23, Lisa!
Congrats Lisa!

If you didn't get a chance to get your hands on the special edition, you can still get the regular one right here.

Hope everyone is having a lovely evening!

update and giveaway!

Hello! It's been a while! If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know that I've been without a laptop for a while... But I have it back now and so my whining is over! I really missed the internet and my to do list just kept growing and growing. Yesterday, my sis-in-law Amy and I went out to take some photos of my art and books in the city, in the most nature-full spots we could find (just for fun).

Here's a photo of the Oh Sweet Woods mini book in the industrial wilderness that is my parking lot. Still, I think it looks nice! An update on those, of the 5 special edition versions of the book (with all the nice little extras), 3 have been reserved and I am giving one away (read on for more details)! So there is one left, if you would like all the frills! If you want the no frills version (though I think it's still pretty frilly), I've put 5 up in my etsy shop right here.

Oh and this! I've printed the collages from my Language of Flowers set in an accordian fold book, there are 8 colour illustrations in all. It's wrapped with a doily and watercolour tape, with a stamped title. I loved taking pictures of this sitting near/in/on/with flowers, it just seems natural—it being a flower-themed book!



Above is my lovely (and helpful) sister!

There are more and more of these...

I mentioned a giveaway—and it might be sneaky for me to put it all the way at the bottom of this post!

Leave a comment and I will randomly pick one winner on Monday, June 8th. (Make sure to leave your email address!)

Hope your summers are lovely so far!
