a long'un...(well, longer than normal, anyway)

so, naughty blogger that i am...no post for ages, but i am about to make up for that for i have quite alot of news...

firstly, i got a parcel from the states the other day, although before i realised what it was, i nearly sent it away again because i had to pay £30 import tax and duties on it...grrr...but, well worth it, for inside was all the gorgeous stationery i designed for galison. i a) nearly cried it's so perfect and b) kept stroking it for hours...my only problem is that although i received 5 of everything (social notes, coasters, writers notebooks, writers notes and writers pads) i can't part with any of it...so if you feel you can't live without any of the lushness (and believe me the quality is fabulous) you can order directly from the galison website. which of course is fine if you're from the states but if you're from ol' blighty or anywhere else it's a bit more complicated, see the galison shipping page for details by clicking here, and the friendly galison team will help you place your order!...and in the meantime if any of you fine people (from anywhere in the world) ever see my stuff in a shop or store, i'd love to know :) you can see lots more photographs in my flickr stream.

so that's that excitement. other news is that i have a new design...called 'sweetheart', it's the first design i've done for a particular 'theme' (ie valentines day) but in fairness, hearts sell whatever time of year, so hopefully it will do well. it obviously has a 'scandi' feel to it in format...anyway, it's available in 5 colourways, which you can see in both shops, etsy, and folksy. there's also a rather delicious larger A5 sketch/notebook available in two colours - i printed up a storm yesterday using different colour and design combos, so keep yer eyes peeled for them soon...have a happy weekend, y'all :)
