These are my three favorites in
Mademoiselle G's etsy shop.
She is currently having a print sale,
so drop by and see what kind of goodies
you cannot live without!

{snowy afternoon}

I had a wonderful afternoon walking around downtown.
It was snowing, but not too cold.
I decided to take my camera, and snap a few pictures.

*my favorite Missoula building*

*hello snowy river*

This cute cardigan was
the only thing I fell in love with at the
antique store.
I wish I was 5'2"
so that I could fit into it.

Now, it is time to bundle up again,
and head off to the post office.

I hope that everyone has a lovely day~

IF*clandestine

Elsabeth just had a
{clandestine}
meeting in the clouds
with a spirit who gifted her a magical bird.

If she promises not to share her secret,
the bird will grant her as many wishes
as her little heart desires.

Shhhh....

I'm so excited...

*a pleasant surprise

.wow.
I received this e.mail today from the winner of my print contest.
{i love to put smiles on people's faces}
It reminds me of why I create.


All of the experiences that I have had in the past year and a half
*displaying my work publicly*
have been so amazing!

I feel so blessed, that most days I have to pinch myself.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
to everyone that supports my work
and finds joy in my creations.

IF*voices

Mr. Gherrity hears a lot of
{voices}
in his spooky old house up on the hill.

He can't quite figure out if they are ghosts,
or if he is finally losing his mind.

He secretly hopes that the voices are ghosts.
He cannot bear the thought of
ending up like his father.

{fun with banners}

Not only is there a new look on my blog,
but I gave my shop an update, too!

Let me know what you think~
