Little Leaf Ink

I had to say goodbye to my best pal Coffee Bean earlier this week. She was my constant companion, always wanting a lap to sit on or be picked up and held. Her purrs were like a revving motor, she loved ice cream, and when she made biscuits it was a full body ordeal. A glass of water couldn’t be left out unless you wanted to share it with her. Her warm, snuggly, chatty presence is so missed. She inspired my flowers in their eyes pet series and it will be a constant reminder to me how much she was loved and an ode to all the sweet kitties we are lucky to know 🖤🐈‍⬛🖤

After each holiday season I tell myself to maybe try to not do as much the next year. It’s just me making everything, packing up my market display, loading and unloading it from my car, carrying everything up and down streets and stairs, and it’s a lot for one gal to do. But then, when I’m standing in my booth, and people come by and ogle at all the plants I’ve collected and pressed through the year, or squeal because one of my pressed flower eye cats looks like their beloved kitty, or one of my watercolor prints reminds them of a favorite place or person. Well it is pure joy and pride for this little garden of art I’ve created and grown since 2018, and I just can’t wait to do it again. Thank you so much for the support so far this holiday season. I’ve once again signed up for a bunch of markets in December, you can find me popping up around Portland , .coffeebar and through the end of holiday season. Come shop small, support your neighbors, and find that perfect gift ✨.
