I'm putting together bits and pieces, including old postcards, stamps, text, botanical print, anatomical print, just a great selection of bits and pieces to create whatever your heart desires.!

Lovely surprise ....

Found these lovelies in my letterbox on Tuesday morning, expecting to find some bills to pay but surprised to find a container full of beautiful butterflies from a great neighbor who works at the butterfly enclosure at the Melbourne Zoo. He collects them for me before the ants get to them for me to work with! Lucky I am!
