Quickly, quickly, a long weekend looms large.

Small_collection_available
{Especially for you, Small Collection is now available.}

Another Friday in the bag, and time enough to let you know that Small Collection can now be found for sale both here (AUD) and here (US). The Friday before a long weekend can oft have a quickly, quickly feel and today is proving no different; several Thelma’s felt pins have been sent on their express post way for a magazine photo shoot. An eleventh hour request for autumnal colours luckily was easy to fill. Fingers crossed they’ll feature. Tomorrow the smell of neighbouring barbecues will tickle my nose and taunt my stomach. Tomorrow is Australia Day, a day a whole heap of folk spend with tongs in hand.

Mail of the brilliant kind, to Louise and I, arrived to cap off a week that seemed to disappear before it found its legs. From Elizabeth (blue poppy) came a handmade card and a photograph of her beloved dogs in the snow (who I admire so often), and from Frips (frips mailart) came a host of paper ephemera so magnificent it made my heart flip to the left and then to the right. Thank you both so much.

Happy weekend to one and all.
