co-inkydink...

I do love me a co-incidence, not only does it make you feel safely wrapped in the hands of something greater but it also allows me to paraphrase The A-Team's Hanibal.."I love it when a plan comes together..." :)


Having taken a trip down south of the Border to promote and sell my wares, it dawned on me how  daft it is that I have never taken the time to see if the little local gift shop would be interested in my bits and bobs. 


Its the kind of gift shop I am never be able to walk past without a look in the window and see what inspirational quote is on display or little nicky nacky noo I'd have to purchase to make my home even more "homely"... I think you know what I'm on about! :)



So with a small child off to nursery I took my mini prints on blocks around to the shop (which I'm wondering..actually have I ever shown them here? Ah well first time for that too!)
 Anyway wouldn't you know ,through a wonderful twist of fate, Fiona (gift shop lovely lady) had been given a catalogue, picked up from the Harrogate Trade Fair, which after rifling through had found 5 artists that she wanted to do business with..and one of them was Love and Peas! 
What are the chances :)



Turns out she's tried to contact me without any luck..and there I turned up on her doorstep with exactly what she was looking for!
I love it when a plan comes together indeed!!!
My mini prints on blocks are available in my etsy shop and now in Bumbles gift shop too!! Thankyou Fiona! :)

ps..I'm taking a walk on the wild side on 1st May..hope you can join me! x
