Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! I’m very pleased to announce that (so far) we have over $150 going directly to Japan for disaster relief. I know that seems like a small drop in a very large bucket but I know I’m not the only artist out there that is doing this, and when you combine us all together, the bucket doesn’t seem quite as large as it did before. It seems donating through the Red Cross is the best option and the best way to insure the money is put to good use, but if you guys have any insight or suggestions I’d love to hear them. The postcards are going like hot cakes (they’re my favorite too) and currently His & Hers and Rouge are both sold out, two sets remain of the Delectables and only one Autumn Harvest. You can still order them but they will take a few weeks to get to me as I have to order a new batch from the printer.
And since I will already have to place an order and wait for new cards to arrive, I decided to add new postcard sets to the shop from our time in Ireland. (And I still have a few yet to add, so if you’re were browsing and didn’t see anything that caught your fancy- perhaps that’s changed!) 100% of the proceeds will still go straight to disaster relief in Japan on orders between March 11th through March 22nd. I will gladly trade my art for aid.

20 Mar 2011 at 10:00 ami want to order one of the ireland sets (the top one with the horse and the fireplace)! i didn’t see them listed in your shop though…anyways all your sets are just wonderful and even better that they are to help raise relief funds!

20 Mar 2011 at 9:10 pmThat sounds great, Sarah! The one with the horse and fireplace is the “Ireland Favorites” set and it can be found right here:

Right where it says, “Delectables”, there’s a drop down bar and you can select the “Ireland Favorites” and place your order.
Thanks for shopping for a cause. =)

I had a necklace almost exactly like yours from Belfast, and I’ve lost it! 🙁

I love, love, love your necklace: so delicate and feminine.
Your photos from Ireland make PERFECT postcard images!! I am curious (seeing as though I’m on the hunt for an actual printshop I like), where do you get your postcards printed from?

19 Mar 2011 at 1:05 amMoo! They are SO fabulous, too. I have to take some photos this weekend for my shop anyway, but I’ll show you what they actually look like. It’s great quality, thick, and not a label or brand name in sight. The front is just the image and the back just has a spot for the post stamp and your writing.
I’ll show you the photos as soon as I take them.

Stunning photos of Ireland.
I love you necklace. Delicate, soft, feminine.
I bought one very similar in London with flowers.

17 Mar 2011 at 5:22 pmI really think that sheep photo should be printed to cover a wall – it’s just so stunning. I’m so happy everyone’s pitching in! Not that it’s hard to do when you offer such a return. 🙂
