Lady Falcon Travelers

You may all have already seen that we started changing the website banners. Here's a pretty pic of the Lady Falcon Traveler we've based the new banners on. There are also some extra changes on the website.

• The note is back on the cart page, where it somehow dropped off after we upgraded to the new theme version.
• The PayPal check-out button has been removed from the cart page, since this was too confusing and took people to PayPal before they could even add a coupon code.
• The Galaxy add-on's have been revised and changed to a generic option and an image based option. Mostly because the image based ones were taking sooooo much time and the images sent were getting more and more complex. Where this wasn't reflected in the cost of the add-on. We hope that this will balance out everything a bit more.

There is also some sad news for the Pink TN's that are in the pipeline. We seem to have depleted all our European suppliers of the pink dye. They are on it and are getting more from the USA, but this could mean a little delay in the #37 pinks that are being made. There are still some pinks in the making and we hope the dye will get shipped soon. I hope you all are having a great week, xoxo Monique

Never Reblogged anything but I have to share this with you...specially the photobombing kitty in one of the photo's =)

For quite some time now, I've had angels on my mind... even from before I went on holiday in July. Early July I received an question from Janet to make and paint a set of 3 Traveler's Notebooks using a gorgeous image of an Angel standing in water under a stormy sky. It took me some time to get myself to work on it...obviously there were the standard set-backs...like my camera dying on me and the repair man taking his time...but then there was also some definite procrastination involved, due to fear of not doing it justice....especially since I felt it had a deeper significance to Janet. Now I love drawing and painting angels, but drawing and painting on a canvas is something entirely different to drawing and painting on leather. The leather has to be wet when painting and that makes it very susceptible to dents and impressions... However, I got past my fear, got up the nerve and started the painting and now here they are... 3 lovely angels, flying in the face of stormy weathers, coming through heavy waters and emerging as a figure of beauty on the other side. The Traveler's Notebooks are 3 different sizes, an A4 An A5 and a Regular size Traveler's Notebook I gave Janet the pictures of the proces to making these Traveler's Notebooks and she wrote 2 blogposts about them (here and here), so I think I will just refer you to her blog for the additional images and I will leave you with this funny picture of me juggling my brushes while working on a painting =)... yes I know I should take better care of my brushes... and the mess I make while painting... Thank you for watching and I wish you all a wonderful week.
