One&TheSame Tote Bags

Just when I decided to use my camera much more this super nice cotton canvas tote bag from Alessandra Olanow arrived in my mailbox....very nice encouragement indeed.... Alessandra was born in Montreal, but after moving around a lot she settled down in Brooklyn. She is a great drawing talent in my opinion and the simple but deliberate lines from her illustrations really appeal to me.You can find her custom work here on her website, if you wish to buy some of her witty greeting cards or the same canvas tote bag as I have then click here... One & The Same!

on my way to the Netherlands.....yeah after 2 years I will see Amsterdam and friends again...perhaps you would like to enjoy this sale over at Flora's shop? Will be back on Thursday ... bon voyage...

Amor

New prints arrived in our home last week and while there were laying on our dining table my son started asking me all sorts of questions about the beautiful illustrations and that is what I LOVE so much about Ana Ventura's work...they start a conversation, bring you to a fairy-tale world and are so full of love, about connecting with each other and starting new life.

If you would be able to visit our home than you would definitely notice my adoration for Ana her work, some of the (in)visible pieces are above our dining table, another lady hangs in our bedroom and 'tell me a story' hangs in our hallway....Thank you Ana!!

...and yes the paper ladies above are on my wish-list :)

All work is available in Ana Ventura's webshop right here and the new prints 'Amor' and 'Waiting for You' are also available via the lovely online shop Twig right here...
