Greetings delightful human, I hope that you’re well and enjoying the beautiful beginnings of Autumn. I’ve had a delightful month enjoying plentiful picnics surrounded by fallen leaves, though I have to say that acorns are quite the concerning choking hazard! There is something so wonderful in taking time to simply be in a space and observe. I hope that you have a chance to slow down and breathe in the rich odours of the earth this month.
Read more about what I’ve been up to in life and creatively and in life in my latest ‘Dose of Whimsy’ blog post.

Hello again lovely people and welcome to another ‘Dose of Whimsy’ instalment. In this monthly post I share all of my whimsical arty play and creative thoughts. 😊
Congratulations to Older and Wider: Heather Lee for winning my little competition and getting all of my recent zines in the mail. Here’s a tiny video of my little friend trying to help me take product shots!
You can purchase April’s instalment here or subscribe for a surprise in your letterbox every month here. My ‘Letterbox Legends’ here on Substack will receive the zine and mini-print in the real mail every month too.
Since my last update, I’ve sold 40 Australian Animal A-Z Books online (which is more than anticipated). As I’m donating $5 from every book sold to the Bob Brown Foundation, I’ve just donated $200 to the charity. Since 2021 I’ve sold around 1000 A-Z Books, which I’m incredibly proud of. Unfortunately I still have 1000 books sitting in my shed waiting to find new homes. Fortunately I know a lot of babies that are turning 1 in the next few months that will be receiving the book as a gift, but it’s not 1000! 😅
If you’re interested in stocking up on books to give as gifts to people in your life, use the code 5FOR$50 to get 5 books for $50. I will continue to be donating $5 per book to the Bob Brown Foundation and won’t be profiting much from the sales but will be very pleased to know they will be in good hands. ❤️
I have a couple of workshops coming up at The Cedars in Hahndorf - Winter Birds and Spring Flowers. It would be lovely if you could join me for a cuppa and painting session.
