Five Faves #55

Hot Air Balloon - Minted Condition*

I'm sorry, it's been a little quieter round here this week, I'm busy.

 I'm taking Savannah and Miles to England on Wednesday to spend some time with my family - I really can't wait! I haven't been "home" for a year, and I'm ready for a break.

It also happens to be my 2nd blog birthday on the 29th, so watch out for my vintage giveaway!

Gosh, 55 Five Faves, shall we?

Edinburgh-based illustrator and book artist Lucy Roscoe loves folding, binding, printmaking and all things papery. She runs a small artist's press which produces unique artist's books, prints, cards and decorations.

I have to admit that her Hot Air Balloons caught my eye first, I love the tiny book in the basket. What a special, original Christening gift or keepsake they would make. 

 I hope you'll take the time to browse Lucy's website, all her designs are beautiful, and perhaps send her an email if there's anything you are interested in buying.

Simply lovely.
