Good Morning Mrs Excitable!
Awwwww I LOVED sharing Friday with you, it was soo much fun, I swear my heart was pounding with excitement here on your behalf.

Can I just say, as a recipient of one of your lovingly wrapped parcels, that it was an absolute delight dealing with the layers, with the papers and card and string.

You know what, wrapping and presentation should not really matter a jot in the big scheme of things, but actually it does, it REalLy does. And you wrap and present to perfection Vanessa, you were so meant to have a mail order shop!

Me thinks you need to get busy painting because your shop shelves will be getting bare!
have a great day

Congratulations Vanessa! I bet you're going to have to do lots and lots of painting to keep your etsy shop stocked.

The packaging is delightful. I think lovely wrapping is a gift in itself!

simone

Well done Vanessa. We need more paintings to look at please!

Pam

Oooh, the excitement may just be too much! When I come to collect my picture you may just have to speak to pillarboxred for a while. I'll just be sitting there, undecided as to wether to open the package or else save it for home. Hmmm.
Well done, though I'm not at all surprised - the paintings are truly delightful.

How on earth did I miss this! I've been wondering for ages if you were going to do something like this and trying to pluck up the courage to ask!

I've just been and bought the daffodil one for my Mum for Christmas! Thank-you!
