Love the fabric for the bags. Was hoping the fabric itself was for sale too!!
The brooches are really nice. Would be a treat to win one. Thanks for the chance.
Her wooden painted brooches are really unique. I love the natural look.

I love the organic look of the peices, and the organizer branch is to die for! I think I need the file folders too so my desk won’t look “messy” when I have things at work that I need to keep out. (Works well with my color scheme in here too!)
I love the wooden handle on that handbag, and I agree with Lorene – that fabric is amazing, I wish we could buy it too!
The dandelion brooch reminds me of lazy summer days as a child, blowing the tops of the dandelion and watching them sail away!!!!
Beautiful work, very polished & well presented. She has done quite nicely with branding herself. I agree with above comments about her fabrics, she should sell yardage. I’d love it for curtains!
I just love the dandelion bag. The fabric is great, I too will echco the other comments and wish that I could be yardage too.
Gosh, it’s so hard to choose a favourite, it’s all so charming.
I’m going to go with the dandelion vase, it’s so simple and sweet.
LOVE the adorable little clutch! That fabric is fabulous!!
What a cute shop, I adore the dandelion vase #2!
I really like the shopping bag!
Love the fabric and vases! All of her products are beautifully natural. Thanks for showcaseing her work.
Loving the brooches! Thanks for giveaway!
i really love the handbag and the dandelion theme:)
Thanks for introducing me to a local (to me) artist and creative!
Such unique items! Very cool, hope I win!
I love all the dandelion things, especially the etched vase – they remind me of childhood summers lying in the grass and blowing these magical little seeds into the blue sky
LOVE it all. I couldn’t open the link to for more info on her “organizer branch,” but it looked quite neat. Good luck everyone! this is another great giveaway. Thanks!
I adore her journal branch! Have bookmarked her shop too. Thanks for the chance to win!

(ofcourse i hope to win a second brooch!
Love her work! Her designs are so simple and attractive. . . Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Yes, please! such delicious yummies to win!!
I love the dandelion vase. Nice giveaway, hope I win.
This stuff makes me think of carefree summers. The handbag branch is delightful.
Her collection is really cute. The mugs are my favorite.
Oh, I love the work from print*pattern*paper! Beautiful colors and details.
I love the mugs the most! Thanks for sharing.
love the ginko goodies – lovely site
The brooch is really nice and the dandelion painting is so cute!! Love the fabrics too!
i love the handbags’ the stationareys and every thing. but what i realy like about her shop is that she has her own style. that its not like any thing alls that it is pure creativety! so she is a very spacial artist in my eyes
I just love the dandelion motif! I desire several of your items with that motif. I hate it when people call dandelion a pesky weed and destroy it—it’s not a weed and it makes a very nice massage oil (treats achy muscles), makes wonderful wine, it’s also a fine detoxifier…and as we see, from Marieke
, it makes for beautiful artwork!! I really like the brooch, thank you kindly for the chance to win such a classy piece.
I realy like the bags! very unique. I hope to win the brooch.
Bye
