Ryan likes to make art inspired by coastal landscapes. Elisabeth likes to draw birds. If you like birds, or beaches, maybe you should follow us in case you also like what we make. 😊

Are you in the Wairarapa today? (You should be in the Wairarapa today.)
Why, you ask… because today is the Rathkeale Fête, with many wonderful stalls, including Bird and Beach.

Just a quiet reminder that we're into the final hours for tea towel pre-orders. Elisabeth will be preparing the fabric order tomorrow, to make sure it's here in time for early December delivery to you (i.e. giving her time to sew them).

While I'm on a roll - here's a reminder that Elisabeth doesn't always draw birds. In fact, she's quite fond of plants as well. And because she knows not everyone loves birds like she does, she has a Focus on Flora collection too!

And I ran out of room for the URL in that last post, but that's ok, because maybe you have more classical tastes, and if so, I wouldn't you to miss out on nabbing one (or more - you get a good discount if you buy 4) of the native bird portrait tea towels.
