lovely laura



I've been very lucky to have made several trips to the post office this week because of my recent online, well... lets just say... 'activity'!! Amongst the beautiful items that have graced my desk, I'm very excited that my wonderful, wonderful painting from the 'new england' series arrived from the stunning Laura Ferrara. The front of the box itself made we almost squeal (and I'm not a squealer by nature) aloud in delight, because she included this sensational quirky fella - a little thought bubble stemming from his crown with my address details enclosed. Oh my!!



The painting was wrapped with blue gridded paper and a set of her tender little drawings greeted me, begging to be framed immediately. I have to find a spot for the painting, but at the moment it's on the bedroom table (yep, next to the phrenology head and a worn copy of 'What Bird Is That').

That bird book must surely be lovely. Sounds like, at least.
Cheers from Spain!

I like what you found here. I also understand the excitement about the package. One of the best things about ordering from etsy or other similar shops is awaiting the package. I never know what will show up, but it never disappoints.

Hi Paz... yes the bird book is very lovely. It's a well known bird identification book in Australia and comes in a small version (which I have) and a much larger version. I'm not a very good bird watcher (in the city it makes it difficult to build such skills!), but the images are always wonderful. And lovely Lovely World, thankyou - it is indeed very exciting to wait for that precious package! (There's been a few recently!)
