On a rainy day finally indoors, cleaning shelves and arranging: a few packs of 11 Greeting Cards for Red Cap Cards added to my small online shop, including three foil cards. Good for the ones especially living in Europe, no custom fees. Many happy moments and wishes!
The mornings and all the colours of the leaves. Lots of bicycling, rowing, walking and a few ice-creams when the summer momentarily came back. Now the raindrops calm down. Drip. Drop. Drip. Drip-drip. Drop. Drip.
More summer trips, caravan journeys, nights in a tent, long walks. This summer is so sweet. Friends are so sweet.
When I started six years ago as an entrepreneur, I had no clue how to manage. No-one has, I guess. Slowly I was contacted by amazing people and I was always surprised. I still am. Thank you all and everyone for your comments, emails, letters, postcards, inquiries and warm words. Now that I am back at work on full speed and the summer starts to turn to an end but still continuing, I think a lot how things are. They are so sweet. All the things.
Thank you, thank you!
One of the most sweet thing is Red Cap Cards. Carrie,Hal and Arlo have believed in my work lasting for more than twenty different greeting cards. And this summer there is something very special, which is now available. The Summer Collection consist of three new greeting cards with foil, three wrapping paper and two notebooks with foil from each talented: Becca Stadtlander, Kelsey Garrity Riley, Carolyn Gavin, Kate Pugsley, Dinara Mirtalipova, Yelena Bryksenkova and me. Violet Birdy, White Calendula and April Bouquet can be seen and purchased here and they are also available for wholesale.
You can see more here and here. Hope you enjoy them!
And thank you so much darling Red Cap Cards!

P.s. A little video of making it alive by Red Cap Cards. Loving this dancing team!
February weather with blue sky, sunshine and strong winds. When the sun turns enough, first balcony afternoon coffee of the spring might happen. Wrapped in wool. And a second coffee in town with friends. New greeting cards are available at Red Cap Cards, for every occasion. Apple Tree Lovefor Valentines. Hopefully you enjoy them! Do you remember, who wrote you the first greeting card or post card? I bet, for me it was my aunt, who still sends a postcard from her every trip. Last time it was from wintery Athens. Happy Valentine's Day ♥ 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th photos by Red Cap Cards.
The end of August brings new winds. Layers of wool, hot cups in hands, some slight oranges, yellows and reds here and there in trees. Moments to light a candle in darkening evenings, to embrace the calmness of the nights.
Dandelion Fields Collection, a stationary collection published by Chronicle Books, is to celebrate the autumn and colder air. To remember the dearest and to write a few warming thoughts down on flower fielded lines.
Foiled covers, sewn with a thread. The three Notebooks are tied together with a turquoise thread.
The Notecards come in a box with envelopes. Sixteen cards, four different kinds, blank inside.
Ready to be sent with some warm whispers to someone far.
The Box of Labels, to decorate and label jars, parcels, books, notebooks, those boxes on your shelf that are filled with sewings, summer memories and all the baking ingredients and the things you were not sure about.
This sketchbook belongs to me. Edit: Those of you who want to buy the items in Euros, please find them through Book Depository. All the items are also available through Amazon. Dandelion Wishes Journal (pictured in the first photo up right) is also still available. Hopefully you enjoy this small Dandelion Fields Collection with my illustrations! Warming Wednesday whispers ♥
February is filled with light. Yellow, grey and blue light. The birds are singing their shy spring-winter melodies, sometimes so surprising. But the snow is melting, when it should be the coldest time of the year. My skis are still waiting for many more adventures with fresh snow.
Hello Valentines! This Apple Tree Love and 14 other cards for any occasion available through Red Cap Cards.
Ti-tyy, ti-tyy, ti-tyy, the birds sing outside.
Have a beautiful Valentine´s Day ♥

Lämpöisiä rutistuksia ystäville, kiitos kun olette ympärillä ♥
Sunny days, snowy days. Skating days, rainbow in the middle of a frozen lake -days. Long walks and baking. And many brush strokes. Days when birds have started to sing outdoors again. The sun is warming, or at least I try to imagine so. Late winter, spring-winter, kevättalvi.
It can happen sometimes, at 23:02, just when you are brushing your teeth and have just switched on your reading lamp by your bed and are eager to get in between fresh clean sheets on a cold first winter night, that you get the idea that you were searching for for the whole day. Then it naturally happens that your reading lamp shines lonely and you find yourself toothbrush still in mouth sketching fourty-five minutes later.
Written on my sketchbook last week with drawings of trees, birds and snowfall.
Silently the first snow came, silently it also disappeared other night. Thank you for the comments in the last post, it became such a nice dictionary of the word "snow". Rain on the calendar with hints of sun rays.
Have a good last day of October, welcome November! Warm evening greetings with dark cloud silhouettes on the sunset sky!
Leaves in every tree are growing so fast. The morning and the evening sizes grow from a little finger to thumb size. The spring rain caresses. Last night they grew also in my dream, to sizes of mountains. The rain made some leaves to grow also here in the blog (do you see them?) and also to the small online shop.
Mother's Day cards on my table. Tomorrow a small train trip with a flower bouquet. Maybe the first swim after the winter ice has gone from the summer house lake.
Happy Mother's Day on Sunday to all beloved mothers!
Back in the town from the strawberry fields. Hot days with long bicycle rides. Drawing and painting in the sounds of thunder. In scent of mint and lavender. Last night, (after sitting in front of a fireplace with friends,) lightnings behind clouds turned them very bright pink. No sound. Reading in the balcony, waiting the rain. No rain, just lightnings in silence of the night. Sparrows.
Someone kind is getting married tomorrow in France. She gets an unplanned wedding bouquet, found next to another painting.
