We're on the edge of a mystical and romantic weekend ... all full of hearts and love and the moon and all. And tigers. Don't forget the tigers.
To celebrate, some of my artist friends in Blogland are having neato giveaways I'd like to tell you about:
My friend Sue passed along Chris Chun's latest e-newsletter, thanks Sue, what a treat! I've only met Chris once and he was super nice, and his art is just magical. If you're not already a fan, you really ought to check it out. Chris is doing a fun giveaway in honor of Chinese New Year: 4 lucky winners will each receive one of his beautiful limited-edition silk eye-pillows, filled with lavender and flaxseed ... oh my goodness.
And how cool is this: for each eye pillow Chris makes a donation to a charity that restores eyesight in a developing country. Nice work Chris! To find out more about this and to enter his drawing, visit his blog.
And my amazingly prolific and multitalented friend Diane is doing a giveaway in honor of Valentine's Day ... she has stitched and collaged this absolutely beautiful package of goodies for a lucky winner...
If you haven't visited Diane's blog lately you should - scrolling through her many projects feels like thumbing through a copy of Victoria magazine (sigh) just look at all the pretties!
And in other news (tee hee), after telling you about them yesterday, look what Molly's nemesis left on my doorstep this morning! (Pay no attention to the messy desk the box is on).
Ooh, ooh, ooh ... you know I love this part. When I posted yesterday, I didn't even know that the windsocks have Twisting Action and the thermometers have reversible suction cups (so you can view it from whichever side of the window (or whatever else you stick it to) you like. Aahh, the fun things you discover when actually looking at something. And am I a broken record about my darn samples if I tell you they're even cuter in person? Yeah, I know. Sorry. But I can't help getting absolutely giddy when a company such a beautiful job with my designs, thanks Toland!
You know, I'm probably long overdue for a blog-giveaway myself. Hmmm. Stay tuned ... in the mean time, I've got work piling up on that messy desk of mine. How about March? We'll talk.
