PopPop and my Shop


This is my PopPop.

He was a fascinating man who sat me on his lap and taught me how to draw swans with a single line, and horses out of circles.









When I opened my etsy shop, Age Before Beauty, I named it after one of my favorite sayings he had. He would always hold open the door for me and usher me through before him saying, "Age before beauty".











So, when trying to think of a name for my latest etsy venture (selling surplus bits and bobs, as well as cool vintage items) I turned to my inspirational and witty PopPop yet again. 
He was famous for pushing his chair back from the dinner table when he was full saying,
"I've had sufficient aplenty, any more and I'll be a flippety flop"!



So thank you, PopPop, for all the inspiration you've given me.

And thank you, for stopping by my blog. If you would like to visit Sufficient Aplenty, I promise you won't be a flippety flop!

She Ate My Crayons!


 She Ate My Crayons--- isn't that a hilarious name for a shop?
And what a wonderful shop it is. If you are a lover of vintage treasure, pop over and take a look, click here.

I've been working on a postcard that the owner commissioned me to do. That funny name is based on a true story---  her younger sister really did eat her crayons, thus giving this shop owner a lifelong excuse for why she has 'no small motor skills'.

 So if you have a little time, browse around the wonderful world of etsy,
