Chance au delà de la mesure | Luck beyond measure...

Really, this week I have had so many amazing, and unexpected things arrive in the post I feel like the luckiest person in the world...when you are stressed, and pushed - there is something about snail-mail [and beauty, of course] that makes you slow down, stop and take a moment to appreciate the good things. Above are the *good* things I have received this week....from the top....

• A stunning print from the lovely Ana Ventura...as part of our forthcoming collaboration, we swapped some goodies :) It is so lovely....
• An early, and unexpected [I had totally forgotten!] birthday present from dear Shari who chose this one off piece for me, called 'Just a Bit', from Maria ...it is so lovely...letter pressed butterflies in a shimmery deep copper on a beautifully aged page with pale duck egg blue/green as a backdrop and lovely little speckled eggs printed on.....delicious. Thank you so much dear friend!
• In the same parcel, a set of lovely Aurum Stria cards from Maria , which I am just loving too.....thank you!
• And finally....Collection 3, from Camilla - which I knew I had to have the moment I saw it a few months ago! I think I threw a spanner in the works as it had been made for Camilla's big solo show...but she was a total sweetheart and sold it to me and made some more ;)). It arrived this morning, and I am smitten.....sigh :) Camilla makes the best parcels...and inside were all the goodies you see above! I keep having to leave the workshop and go through to the other room to take another peek at it all.....thank you so much sweetie....I am just delighted!!

I seem to be running out of words to describe how happy I am with all these lovely things that have somehow made their way to me.....Luck beyond measure sums it up. Big hugs to all of you!!!

I updated my link list with some new sections....it still needs more work, but there is only so much html one can manage at 2am ;)

I sent a collection away yesterday to the RBSA in Birmingham for the exhibition 'Victoriana'....it opens just after I am home in two weeks.

From today, I have put notices up in my shop to say any purchases made will be posted out upon my return from Vacation.

I will be back here tomorrow to check in for the last time before shooting off.....till then, hope you are all having a lovely Thursday!! xox

ps - you ask for the French title, you get it :D xx
