Happy Holidays everyone!
Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you're well and happy and not stressing out about the upcoming holiday season ... after all, it should be a time of joy, festivities and hopefully lots of fun and laughter :-)

Is this your name? Are you a Winner?
 If your name appears here, I have a fabulous gift for you! A handpainted silk chiffon scarf which I've lovingly painted can be winging its way to your door if you will simply email me with your mailing address. If you do so, it should arrive well before the holiday season! The colours will be a surprise, and you can keep he scarf or give as a gift.

October - Lara Concepcion of Indonesia
September - Debora of Lismore, Australia
August - Vivian Bomberry of Vancouver, Canada

I do apologise in advance that I've been a bit slow with getting the newsletters and scarf winners online - forgive me? I've been busy with silk, designing, website changes, planning the silk adventures in Paris next year ... but I'm here today to give you a quick update from my Studio.
I have a new 'look' for the Newsletter (yes, again, constantly tweaking and trying to display info in a way which I hope will be easy for everyone to use), do let me know what you think :-)
PLUS I've been spending time each day pllaning the next trip to Paris in June/July next year - want to join me for a week of adventure?? I am soooo looking forward to it! I've met some lovely people online whom I'll be taking my group to meet, from artists, to café owners, B&B owners and many more. It'll be so much fun! Click the PARIS ADVENTURES link below to read all about the different options.
Before I get started, let me be the first to wish you all the very best for the upcoming holiday season! From my heart to all of you around the world ...
