SUMMER FIELD GREETINGS

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!

DANDELION FIELDS COLLECTION

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.

The Notebook Collection consists of three different Notebooks with hand drawn 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!

CARDAMOM COFFEE, MELODIES OF THE WIND

On a cloudy day. Feeling like it would already be an evening. A smile comes back from these greetings from Paris. Also the sunshine, if imagined enough. Outside the strong rushes of an autumn wind. Time to find some wool around.

Hot water boiling. Grinding cardamom seeds. A dash of cinnamon. Another one of vanilla. Coffee time. A very early one. Wondering how long I am able to keep those jars untouched. Till the next coffee time?

Oh, the weekend. A light(house) ship, beautiful melodies (a small moment to be back in the treasure island), guiding hands (while writing sms´s in street lights), the longest breakfast (feeling like abroad), walking, admiring houses and boats (especially the lighthouse one and another called Elvira Inga), a small food market, the deepest nap on the way back, in train. Sunshine at home.

Afternoon greetings.
