How to use this Page

I found your blog a few months ago, and your Etsy store, =) and have been reading ever since. I love your artwork and am sure I will have to buy some very soon. But today I went right over to Rima's store at your suggestion and bought myself a calander! Thank you for the hint.=)
My favorite picture of yours, by the way, is the header to your blog!

Sorry your feeling poorly and hope that you soon feel better.

Gretel, as you can see you have been wafting custom through my shop doors :) Thanks so much for telling all about my humble little calendars!
As always it is lovely to see the nooks and crannies of your inspiring studio and lovely that you've got the oompf to get drawing :) I hope the weather climbs right back underneath you soon! Sending you virtual picturesque snow from up here today :) Lots of love and thanks again x

Thanks, Gretel!
I didn't think a signature was necessary, but I'm pleased to have provided a few moments mystery at least.
When visiting a friend's house I cannot resist looking along their bookshelves … you have some wonderful old volumes there. Surely it cannot be pure chance that the pointing finger card finishes up directed at "The Caxtons"?

What a lot of lovely things have come to you! Hope you recharge a bit and come out of your retreat feeling better. Your tags were very well received by the way! thank you.

Lovely drawing, I hope 2008 is agreat year for you.

Thanks for the link to Rimas blog. Her esty shop is wonderful. Yes take a rest with your sketchbook in front of your woodburner, and show us your sketchbook delights when you come out of hibernation ! ~ love Julia x

Gretel it has been wonderful to catch up on your last few posts (I am so behind on blog reading but actually it is nice sometimes to read a few favourite bloggers posts in a row). I just wanted to wish you a wonderful year for 2008 - it has been lovely to discover your art and your world via your blog and I look forward to seeing more!

Have fun relaxing and sketching in your beautiful wee home - xxx

lovely books (and other stuff)
poor poorly heffalump, and you

hope you feel better soon
and that 2008 is GREAT for you

I would so love to have a rummage through your studio, as a fellow accumulator! Hope you feel better soon and at least get some drawing done.

Hope you make a speedy recovery Gretel. I've just read about your tumble.

I'm sure you will be grabbing 2008 by the balls and make it a successful year.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well - hope you are better soon.

I don't know if it's just your artistic eye or whether a lot of thought went into each one, but I love the way your items are framed against the backdrop of the books. I so want to come and rummage through your tomes - I see some old friends tucked in there:)

I hope you are feeling well again very soon, Gretel, and looking forward to seeing your drawings. This is such an iformative post - thanks for the links to Rima's etsy shop, too.

P.s Ha... another Tintin fan... I teethed on Tintin books.. my Belgian aunt sent new publications regularly..signed too!

Everything is lovely. I'm afraid the goop is going around--all over the world it seems. Feel better soon.

Hope you are soon 100% dear girl.
Thanks for the peek into your studio...its fabulous.

I think we all feel a bit like the poor collapsed elephant at this time of year.
I'm really loving your blog and illustrations!
all best wishes from Marrakech

I loved walking through your studio. Some of those books made me go all weak because I love old books. The covers and binding on them are a work of art in itself and I can disappear into the world of illustraions quite easily. How marvellous it would be if I could draw my own world to emmerse myself in. You are so lucky to have such talent. Hope you are feeling better and look forward to seeing what you are working on next.

I adore interesting studios, like yours. Gawd help us from the designer minimalist places some people seem to prefer.

Get well soon!

I just found your blog. It is wonderful.I love your swet, beautiful illustrations. They speak to my heart.
Love,
Linda

Oh my lovely, I am sorry you are feeling under the weather at the moment; I hope that you're feeling a little better. Much love xx

I just discovered your blog - I love the Cat's Cradle cards. And those books with the printer blogs.

Hope you're feeling better!

Now there's a guilty pleasure right there!

Great plush mate.

Thanks Kyle

They are very yummy indeed
