Commission - Part One

Stall, on a sunny Sunday.

Last Sunday, the last Sunday of September, one felt as if Autumn had kept out of the limelight for a day. It was nice and warm, and the sun shone with all its might - by the end of the day I was sunburned. What a beautiful day it had been to show off my stall! People could buy my greeting cards, postcards, my bookmarks, and some posters. A big thank you to all of the nice and friendly people who were there!

See you soon July.

As July gives way to August, and as I am slowly packing my things for my trip to Poland, I'd like to offer free shipping in my shop. Just because I am happy.

Enter the coupon code SEEYOUSOON07 at the checkout. You have until Monday.

A Christmas Eve in Bruges

At this rate five Christmas will have passed when I finish my Christmas illustrations - let's hope not. The Christmas cards marathon has started for me (since the end of September), and I am wondering whether I will finish my cards on time... There are about ten projects in my sketchbook that are waiting to take shape. A Christmas Eve in Bruges is the first one of the series, I hope you'll like it.

Despite the lack of time and my very slow progress, I can at least be delighted to see that patience does not totally fail me; I managed to paint all the bricks, and I must say that I love the result.

To be continued...

In the meantime, I offer a 50% discount on the remaining cards of the previous collection 2009, until I receive the new ones. The promo code is : RIDNOV50. Don't be shy! Have a glance at my shop, you just have to give in out of weakness and click on the right button.

Have a card.

Indeed I am. Indeed, 'pertinacious' is the word to describe my vain endeavour to get rid of all of my old cards series, before the release of a new series - have the strange feeling I am drivelling. To show you how desperate I am, I am offering a 30% discount on etsy, until October 18th 2012. The promo code is : RIDOCT201230

Let's imagine for a moment that you have the ineffable desire to buy five cards in a row, know that there would be no shipping costs - just let me know before the purchase.

Shopping Shop on Etsy

A few months ago, I reopened my Esty shop. What a surprise it was to see that I would not be disappointed, far from it. I am just selling old cards of my previous collection for the time being, the ones that have not found a new owner yet. I have managed to make two sales, selling four of my cards - Champagne!

The shipping costs are free until September 30th 2012, you just have to type in the following promo code : 0LDC0LLECTIONSALE

I would like to thank Robin Willems for the lovely post on her tumblr! She has made my cards look beautiful thanks to her photos! Feel free to take a look at her fascinating website.

Do you remember my post on Mail Art? Well then, that is what you can expect of the parcel if you happened to buy one of my cards on etsy :) Hope it is appealing.

Give way to the blog's first Giveaway! - And the winner is...

Hi folks!

A few weeks ago, I organized my first giveaway, and I must admit that I feared no one would enter it. I was amazed to see that some of you did take part in it, and I thank you. I will not prattle on about the giveaway, do not worry.

And The winner is... (drum roll)...

Congratulations to the number 6, that is Ti-igra!! Please, email me your postal address (ainolopa@gmail.com); the card will be sent to you, as soon as I find an envelope :D

Give way to the blog's first Giveaway!

Today was the first day of my Summer Holidays - at last! Exams are done, and from now on, I can devote my time to doing what I like the most: drawing, writing, reading, and taking photos (and of course sleeping).

Over the next few days, I am going to make new illustrations. I would like to give away a card from the former series, in order to celebrate the first sell I made a few months ago (I managed to sell eight of my cards to a shop near Paris), and to thank you for being interested in my works.

I hope that many of you will take part in the giveaway. To that end, you only have to post a comment under that post. Do not forget to give your first name (or your nickname), and your e-mail address - so that I can get in touch with you if you are the winner.

The deadline is July 1st 2011.

If Someone is interested, I will offer you the shipping costs. If you want to buy something, wait until Monday (December 7th).
