4 YEARS, A GIVE-AWAY

On Saturday, my small company turned 4 years old, hurrah! Thank you so much for supporting my work by your beautiful words, orders, hearts through Instagram and just following my tiny steps! They mean so much to me.

To celebrate, maybe a small give-away could be organised. Hopefully you like the idea! Please just leave a message here with your email address and you are playing the game! One will receive the Dandelion Wishes Journal published by the Chronicle Books with some of my greeting cards. Let´s play until the next Monday evening, the 21st. Good luck!

The journal is also available for purchase, of course.

Just a moment ago, I celebrated these lovely 4 years being an entrepreneur by finding a new friend. She is red and has two wheels. Happy new bicycle trips are waiting, eager to share our future journeys with you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ♥♥♥

One year ago I wrote:

12th of April, my small company turned one year old. Company, where only I work and where I only work with illustration. (Thank you mum for making my bookkeeping and tax reports!) Little I knew a year ago, but it became all possible. There has been so many heart-touching persons, always interesting commissions, long conversations, very few phone calls but thousands of emails over the seas, mountains, oceans, wilderness. Through all the seasons and weather. And it all has made me so happy. Deeply I thank every one of you who has been there supporting me with commissions, orders, emails, letters, parcels, comments or lately even saying hello in the towns that I walk or bicycle. Thank you, thank you so much.

It has been wonderful and I make my best to do it again this year. With you.

The second year was very beautiful too with new kind of commissions and ways to work. New friends from different parts of the world, even longer conversations, with stories of the weather. Always so glad to hear from you and do the best I can.

The third year starts, with a little bit of sunshine, a lot of clouds. A long bicycle trip, writing with a friend from the years back again. A piece of pie and a coffee cup in downtown, while reading the local newspaper. A pot of French soup, dark bread. Rose green tea, my favorite.

Thank you so much for being here with me. Thank you!

P.s. Please come back soon, there might be something interesting for you in the next post =^.^=

Dear Jill made a small interview with me and I painted a little something about what I saw that day.

These photos are from August 2007, after my last summer in Iceland. The first one is from my grandparents´ garage which never saw a car, but a lot of strawberries. The other ones are from my home town, the three last ones from the summerhouse of my parents. In the last one I am washing the dishes. I wish all the places were as clean as that lake.

More days to color landscapes, to walk and see.

Thank you.

Hearts.
