Yep, one more week & we’re into autumn…it feels like only yesterday that I was “celebrating” the New Year with a poorly-timed bout of the flu (is there a good time to get the flu?)
Anyway, I thought I’d better dust off my blog & post something. Do you like my cigar boxes? I picked them up at a local market. Graphically & typographically you just can’t beat old cigar boxes for pure excitement! I have plans for them…
As usual, I’ve been really busy & my poor old blog has been bumped to the back of the queue, but I’ve just been working on my gallery – not quite finished yet, but nearly! I also haven’t forgotten that my monthly giveaways haven’t quite been monthly (sorry!), so early this week I’m launching a Super Duper Mega Giveaway with four different prizes including Li’l Mary coasters and a couple of one of a kind creations that I’ve made especially for the giveaway.
Doesn’t that sound grand? You do need to join my Mailing List to be eligible for the draw though, so go sign up!
It’s 3.00am & I’ve eaten too much raspberry licorice – time to go! Enjoy your weekend!
PS. Hello to the people who found me via the Sunday Age! Just going out to buy my copy now – so exciting! :)

I love cigar boxes too! I mostly use mine for storing, I want more! What a great find!

Not sure if you know, but your li’l mary coaster featured in todays Age Newspaper in their M magazine supplement.
Hi Natalie…I’m sooooo excited! :)
Tara…I keep my vintage plastic toy collection in some of mine!
YAY…So glad to see you’ve started posting again!
You’ve been missed!

The cigar cases are really cool. :)
Congrats on making it into the paper supplement! :)
I’m so glad I clicked on your blog link on the Etsy forums, I love your work!
Hi Natalie,
I found you through the Sunday Age, and am mighty glad I did so too! I love your work :-)
Good luck with all your new stuff,

Yeah! I get so excited when you post a new blog.
By the way-I’m here to present you with the “You Make My Day” blog award. I’m also tagging you if you have the time for this foolishness! You can check out my blog to see what this is about. Thanks and have a fantastic weekend!
I love your blog! The colors and vibe is sooo nice :)
Mmmmm raspberry..
It’s so strange that you’re into Autumn, while I’m getting ready for Spring. A change of seasons always feels like a fresh start, though.
I found your blog through Etsy a week ago or so, and I love it and your work! Definitely will be checking back, so I added your link to my blog.
Bummer, I missed the Sunday Age article – can you scan it in? Love the cigar boxes – I’m a sucker for multiple fonts!
All I know is that your blog is the cutest one ever on planet earth, ever ever ever. I wish I was as cool as you!
All that raspberry licorice, so late in the day!
