Set of 10 Spring Bike Postcards

I want this day. I want to be warm and ride my bike in a flowered dress. I want to see different scenery, like in that movie, The Holiday, where a new place can bring on a new self, or in Roman Holiday, where you sightsee on mopeds and love your hair. I hate my hair, inconsequentially.

Today the postcard, tomorrow the personal revolution.

$16

Let Them Eat Cake Poster

Hey everyone, here's a heads up:

This is a new and super cute poster that would look perfect in the kitchen, or above the mini-fridge, whatever. The coolest part, though, is that there's a buy one get one free sale going on so buy this and get the Keep Calm and Carry On poster free!

$12

4 Swallow Branch Cards

A little bigger than four by five inches, these are so pretty and fresh. Natural, but not trendy in the new "isn't nature precious??" kind of way. Just true to life and beautiful. Tuck them in books you're giving or have the distinctivly sized envelope appear in someone's mailbox. They'll end up stuck in the corners of mirrors and under glass desktops.

Shaking Down

I'm leaving this image clickable so you can get a better sense of the penwork, pigment blots, and mysterious scale. Look closely; It could be a hill by the sea or just a hiccup in the sand. It's really very beautiful.

The kind of thing to surround yourself with.

*Double Sided Print*

On one side, a double script quote:

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. The world you desire can be won. It is real. It is possible. It is yours."

On the other side, in pink:

"If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody."

That just about covers everything, doesn't it? Hang it on a ribbon for easy flipping.
