I Love You Like A Fat Kid Loves Cake

As is my usual want one evening I was randomly searching Etsy for vintage delights and happened upon this print from Ecceprints. I really loved the humour and graphics, plus it was rather inexpensive too and so it I promtly added to cart.

I’d been collecting the crosswords that The Gardener and I do every Sunday over coffee with the idea that I would somehow make them into a piece of artwork or craft project. I was inspired by butterfly entomology and specimen cases so made a stencil and created these crossword butterflies.

    Hi Girl….
    Greetings from a rainy Oslo…
    In order to read this post, and really cosy up I made myself some hot cappuccino, and turned on the radio…

    Thats just how your work affects a girl from Oslo:)

    Wish you the best week ever…
    Kisses

    This is so gorgeous Lady! Not only aesthetically, but is a beautiful reminder of all the lovely brunches you had with your Gardener. Makes me want to do a similar project for me and my Mister :)

    Love the graphic butterflies. So lovely! I’m going to have to make my own version.

    Love the Etsy link – they are such clever prints.

    A have-to-have for me is “I Love You More Than Cheese” – it’s a big call!
