just came across this blog for the first time ... the fabrics & illustrations are lovely!

Maria said...

This is so cute! I am celebrating my son's birthday today (so much work) and he is the king (today :-)..
My favourite point in this painting is the curled line under the word circus. And of course the butterfly, whoose wings seem to look like the little flags..
A beautiful giveaway – You are a very generous person.
