New Cards!!!

 I'm working on some new cards for spring. I'm hoping I will be able to participate in an art fair or festival of some sort, and to do so I need a good supply of cards to sell. So far this is what I have. These are all hand drawn with black ink (and a little blue) and colored with colored pencils.

 The envelopes match the cards.

elegant whimsy

this is my lamp. It was my sister's lamp when we were little. Then at some point she decided she didn't like the flowers in the base so she painted it pink. Then years later I found the lamp in my parents linen closet and adopted it. I scrapped off the paint (pooryly as you can see). Then I bought a new shade for the lamp. I got one of those sticky shades from Hobby Lobby where you can decorate it yourself. So I had this fabric that I loved but it wasn't big enough. So I just patched it on there as well as I could. Then I hot glued the beaded fringe on and there you have it. I love it. My sister thinks it's tacky. To me it definetly adds some elegant whimsy to my room. At night the beads seem to just glitter with the light. What do you think?
