Cityscape.

I'm a city girl, bottom line. I love the beauty and majesty of the countryside,  I periodically NEED to be near the ocean, and I love the mystery of the woods. The beauty of Oregon is we have all of that.

No, seriously.

An hours drive can take you to any one of those locations.  And I love them all.

But i'm a city girl.

Gimme cozy bars and coffee shops. City shopping. Oversized shades for people-watching..."No she didn't wear that".

I've accepted our 8-9 months a year "rainspell". I didn't realize that until I discovered I could not stop drawing or painting rain, clouds, coffee, overcoats, books, umbrellas.  Let the. City obsessing begin again....

Cityscapes coming soon. Yay!

Last Thursday on Alberta

Wow! What a ride.

Free street fairs in the dead of summer are exciting and exhausting!

I had great help from my dear friend and my nephew, introduced many to A Little Card, learned a lot and even sold a little!

New in the shop - vintage paper cards!

I have this tattered, OLD english/spanish dictionary that I am in love with. I've been ripping out each page, and delicately upcycling them has confetti, garland, etc.

I'm already to the N section.

Anyway, I adore these pages. I've used them to make tiny notecards, stamped with birds.

I love vintage, I love cards, and of course I love birds!

Happy Friday!

Life is just....

Well, you get the idea.

Happy July!

A Little Feature

A Little Card was fortunate to be involved in 2 giveaways/features this holiday weekend. I am still catching up from housesitting, the 4th, Etsy orders (ya-to the hooo!) and a ton of homework (giving homework during the holiday?What gives?), but let me say, I am blessed. These blogs rock and I am so excited for these giveaways.
