yesterday was a day of being able to tick things off my list - that is always a good feeling - I think I make lists because of the action of ticking things off. This weekend is a long weekend for us Canadians - I will try to finish another calendar that I am so excited about it. I can't wait to show you some peeks. It feels weird making calendars during the summer, but I need to be ready for the fall. 
I thought I would end the week with another giveaway. A lovely triangle print shoulder tote made out of a light coloured linen with a twill lining and a pocket on the inside. it's been pretty busy in the studio and this weekend I will try to eat bbq corn off the cob, take a long walk with my lovelies, eat fresh strawberries, and do lots of water colour painting. thank you for visiting and leaving a comment - I enjoy reading each of them. Have an amazing weekend!*sorry forgot to mention - you have until 10 pm sunday august 1st to leave a comment. the winner will be announced on monday morning.
I hope you have an amazing weekend too! As someone who loves triangles endlessly, winning this bag would put the hugest smile ever on my face.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a lovely weekend planned. I hope to enjoy a bbq with friends, lots of playtime with the kids and sushi for sunday lunch.
ReplyDeletei'm starting to think about making some 2011 calendars too -- that's great that you're getting a head start. sounds like you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you! and as usual, love your designs. the bag is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnother bag! With my other favorite pattern! You do not only have a fabulous sense for prints and drawings, Arounna, but also for giving things a form. Enjoy your weekend! tamara
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern! I have been viewing your blog only recently but I really love your space so glad to have found you. Have a lovely weekend. xm
ReplyDeleteThat pattern... it's haunting me! I adore the simplicity and repetitive nature. And not only that it's a bag :) Enjoy yer bbq corn on the cob.
ReplyDeleteBon week-end à tous Bloggers.
I LOVE this bag!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend too! Look forward to seeing the calender....you're very organised! One day I may just get lucky with one of your giveaways, fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is my very first visit and I just fell in love with your work. I have looked at your "bookhou at home shop" and it is empty. Where can I buy some of your items ?
Thank you :)
I was just admiring this bag in your shop the other day - it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about your shop this morning. It's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous givaway, wow!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely long weekend! We're headed to NYC for a little ramble. I can't wait!
I like the sound of your weekend. I arrived here via Resurrection Fern, via PurlBee, via Yarnstorm - and I'm very pleased I jumped from each of those stepping stones to the next, lots of beautiful things to look at and feel inspired by at each place.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I'm hoping to go strawberry picking and make jam - and I have a long overdue hairdresser appointment which coincides with some knitting I must finish - it's a great way to fill the time while the colour works on my ever-increasing white hairs. (Though my guilty secret is that I like to look at the pictures in Hello whilst I'm there too).
Thanks for reminding me to have some corn on the cob this long weekend. If I cook a steak beside it, it might warm up my husband enough to let me sign up for your letterpress workshop this fall. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what, nevermind him. I'll sign up anyway.
Lovely design. I saw your work at a OOAK show about 3 years ago. Never knew you had a blog until recently. I'd love to take one of your workshops one day. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love this print, and I especially love it applied to a bag. Thanks for the giveaway!
