yummy candy and cookies from china, hauled over the pacific by mr. artsyville. he sure knows how to treat his girls...
a print swap with the lovely violette from british columbia, canada. her bright and encouraging work takes the edge off of my cynicism and my all-too-often grrrrrr outlook on life. my girls love to watch her dance with an accordion in the promo for her new book, journal bliss. thank you for the smiles, violette!
a surprise from south africa, a beautiful photograph from l'atelier as well as one of her gorgeous watercolors - thanks, sweet l'atelier :)
and another gem from canada, uppercase magazine - this issue features two of my favorite artists, heather smith jones and gracia haby. it is fantastic from cover to cover and fully worth the splurge!
hope you're having a great week so far - if you'd like to play weekword with us, visit nicky and let her know. also, don't forget to check out the interview with thereza and the excellent feature on her work at aqua-velvet... well, now i think it's time for a glass of wine, some writing and some doodling. what? the kids? oh, yeah, i guess i have to put the kids to bed first...

Yum! candy! How come The Viking never brings candy from his travels. He comes home with t-shirts and wood carvings. I want candy. Hooray! for Mr. Artsyville.
Nice treats for you, you are sooo lucky!
