Lovely mail

Isn't it great when the mail in your letterbox isn't just bills, bills, bills? I've been lucky to have lots of lovely mail gracing my letterbox lately.

I did a swap with Susie from Flowerpress and received this lovely ruby slippers gocco print:
And this beautiful dandelion:
Thanks Susie!

My brooch swap brooch arrived, all the way from Canada! I love wearing flower brooches. I also got this gorgeous bird embroidery and bunting card - thanks Carolyn!

And I won this book from Sarah's great blog - it's a chronicle of her 5 months as the Frank Sargeson writer in residence in comic form, thanks Sarah! I've been reading it all morning.
Have you had any lovely mail lately?

Looking for a smell...

Inspired by this awesome blog by Sarah Laing (who's the Sargeson Writer-in-Residence at the moment) I have been drawing a few comic type things. This one's about my quest to find a particular smell, a stupidly difficult task! You might need to click on the picture to make it bigger.
