Style, Hearts, Heaven

On Friday I had a lovely trip out to visit Handmade Heaven to restock a range of my framed and unframed Art Prints and Cards. The collection is looking gorgeous (photo's soon!) in situ as too is the whole shop  - the shop is such a treasure trove of gorgeous and enticing loverlies!! It was so lovely to catch up with the gorgeous Liesa and also chat with Miriam from BubbaChenille  as well as enjoy a natter and a coffee from Di..licious .

The atmosphere in this gorgeous little arcade, in a historial building, is just so wonderful! It was an absolute pleasure to spend time there and these little shops are a credit to the gorgeous owners! You simply must have a sticky beak! If you see anything you like and can't make it into the shop you can email Liesa to arrange something! You can also order any of my prints (framed or unframed) as well as my range of art cards through them! There is lots of great ideas for the upcoming day of love! Valentines Day! But who really needs an excuse to share the love? I have added a new print and art card to my shop so be sure to go and have a squiss!! SandraDarling.etsy.com . You can even suscribe to my shop feed to be keep up-to-date with new Prints and Cards as I add them!

I am now officially a Brisstlyette! Yay!! I am a proud member of BrisStyle. BrisStyle is a cooperative group of talented Australian artists, crafters and artisans who call the Brisbane area home. I have been given a very warm welcome from the fellow members and am looking forward to meeting many of them soon!  One of my Art Cards was part of a feature blog that BrisStyle posted on a wonderful cause that I have donated the proceeds of the sale of  a few Large and Lucious Art Cards to - Heart for Haiti. Hearts for Haiti is an Etsy collective where you'll find donated items from Etsy shops to raise money to rebuild Haiti following the devastating earthquake on January 12th. 100% of the proceeds from Hearts for Haiti go directly to Doctors Without Borders. You simply must have a look - this is a wonderful way of using Art to help and bridge communities.

Finally, today is the LAST day to enter my giveaway competition for January! If you haven't already done so ....... why not!? Quick! Enter now.


Good luck to everyone, and thankyou to all for your support and of course interest! As always, I love a good chat so please be sure to leave me any comments, questions and chit chat!


 I will now leave you all with this wonderful video I just came across and just simply had to share it with you all! Oh be still my beating heart - it is simply exquisite!
