The Great Remake

Since the mid-March misfortune I have been melodramatically referring to as "the crash," I've been hard at work rescanning my sketchbook and recreating lost work. Working from shop photos and the remaining stock (pictured bottom right), I've been meticulously making exact replicas of my designs. Luster, Robin Egg and Prim Rose Tags have all been recreated and I'll be starting next on the mushroom and butterfly tags (bottom left).

In remaking the "thank you flat card" sent out with each and every order (top), I decided to take the opportunity to revise the previous design and I am infinitely more pleased with it. In sum, I'm so thankful for both the opportunity to improve and the kind words of support I've received from you all! Thank you so very much.

Sometimes change is good. Unfortunately it was forced upon you! But you're taking up the challenge well and I wish you the best in getting things back. So far, so great!

Livy! You continue to inspire, even in the wake of "the crash!" It's so neat that you've been able to recreate and recreate again. Sometimes it's a fabulous opportunity to fine tune one's design.

Keep up the fabulous work! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello! I came across your shop on Etsy and recently found your blog. I added it to my reader right away - so delightful! I'm so sorry that so much of your work was lost, but it appears you have more than made the best of it! Everything looks simply gorgeous! Love those tags!

It is such a pain to recreate....but in the end it usually ends up being much better than the first designs. Everything looks outstanding!
