It’s the start of the weekend (well for me it is, anyway!) It’s a Friday night over here on the other side of the equator, and to celebrate, we’re having our third giveaway — a limited edition print from artist Valerie Pensworth.
The print in question is called Furmiliar and is available in an edition of 25. Just comment below to be in the running!
Giveaway ends 14th August, and the winner will receive an email from me.

Susie of Boygirlparty recently launched her latest collection of necklaces in collaboration with Chocolate & Steel. Each sterling silver necklace features an illustrated drop down pendant of animals: a deer, birds, a whale, and more. They are each available only in an edition of 100. My pick from the collection is the snowy owls necklace – perfect if you’re hunting for that perfect gift for your girly half.
They’re all available in Susie’s shop, and if you purchase USD$75 and above, she’ll ship it free for you.
