Ever have one of those weeks where everything just goes terribly? So much so that you find yourself almost laughing at the end of it because you just can't believe how much worse it can get...and then it keeps getting worse? Well, that was me last week. I must have lost my luck charm somewhere. However, some friends came by yesterday with beautiful summer flowers and we drank wine in the afternoon and somehow, things felt a whole lot better. I thought I'd share their wild beauty with you and hope that the upcoming week is a good one...for everyone.

I have to mention that it wouldn't be a stretch to say that for the past few days, I can relate to poor Ophelia here. A little frustrated and slightly mad in regards to the disappearance of my prints. They have surfaced after being stuck in customs, and will thankfully be arriving tomorrow. Also, I should have another painting ready too.
Woohoo!

Well, it's Friday and it appears that it will be a 'Print- Free' weekend over in my Etsy shop. My print shipment is stuck in customs which is a nuisance especially right before the weekend. I also won't have an original ready for today since for some inexplicable reason I took it upon myself to completely rework my office space for the past couple of days. The photo is of a small corner in my office, which I like to refer to as the 'reading nook' which will likely never be used as such, and rather as a place for procrastinating and staring at the wall. Speaking of procrastinating, I think I'll head off to the lovely and exciting Stratford dump to do my recycling right now. I'll show more pictures of the new office space once all of the art that I've been buying off of etsy arrives and is framed up. The art buying has been the fun part in this whole project, and the pinched nerve in my back from hauling boxes has been the not-so-fun part....
Happy weekend!

A big thank you to Anne over at Annechovie for the sweet profile and interview she did about me. I realize that stating in the event of a fire, that I would take my Kate Spade purses over a family heirloom or photographs probably makes me sound like a terrible person. I'm a little terrible I suppose.....but fashion accessories are important-right?

I thought I would share a few of my favourites on etsy at the moment. The top two images are from Plum Cushion and the bottom pillow is from Kalla. Etsy is such a dangerous place to spend an afternoon- too many beautiful things.
Also, I kind of misjudged when my prints would be arriving, it seems I failed to factor in Memorial Day and so it looks like they won't arrive until Monday at the earliest. I've also been suffering from painter's block so I'm struggling to get some ideas down on canvas. That being said, I think I have one that is starting to 'cooperate' with me now and hopefully I can post it over the weekend. So please bear with me....
