Can I share my lunch with you?

Happy Friday! Hello fall. 

It's been blissfully mild so far and the trees look beautiful with their multi colored leaves.

I hope it remains a friendly season :)

Here's a gift for you 

It's true, the holidays are around the corner. 

I'll add some Christmas & holiday cards to my Etsy shop next week, 

but for the next few days (thru Sun Nov 9th) 

Receive $5 OFF ALL of my products in my Society6 Shop, pillows, bags, art prints, 

everything ... plus Free Delivery. Just click - AllynHoward to grab your deal

* This is a small sampling of what's in my shop *

It's probably obvious that much of my work is inspired by springtime, 

the colors, flowers blossoming, birds singing 

... that kind of thing. 

However, I do love fall and even wintertime (sometimes). 

New York City is especially magical during the holiday season.

 I'm happy, just as long as I have on enough layers to stay warm.

mugs, rather mug (double sided- see who's on the other side)

It means a lot to me. Enjoy your weekend.

For the Love of Gingham, Florals, Vintage & Critters

Hi and Happy Monday!

Here are some of the latest products available in my online shop -

Society6.com/AllynHoward

I created these characters in Lilla Rogers' course MATS 3A, 

which I wrote about last month, in several posts.

I decided these guys were cute enough to use on some products.

Kitsch-y bear and chipmunk are based on a couple of pieces from my 

collection of ceramic animals.

You can view some of those in an earlier post or on my Instagram stream.

I just ordered the Hello Love pillow and bag for myself. 

Yes, that's how much I like it and the quality of these products is fantastic.

The prints on paper have a nice border and the canvas prints run to edge.

All products available in Society 6 shops are offered in a variety of sizes.

I rarely use white as a background, but I think these little characters 

look sweet on it.

and here they are on a darker background -

Hope you find something you might want for yourself or that great kid in your life!

Here's a puppy and a pear for your time ;)

Look what came today! More bags ... outstanding quality.

Have a swell week!

I Love Saturday!

Why?  you ask. 

Saturday morning I sit and drink coffee as long as I want. 

I listen to NPR for as long or as little as I want.

I go out for as long as I want.

I play music as loud as I want (if my neighbors are out)

I paint pictures of anything I want.

I read blogs as much as I want. 

Finally, I anticipate the cocktail hour 

with the same enthusiasm I have for it everyday ;)

Here are my brand new pillow covers! 

Now available in my Society 6 Shop AllynHoward

You can choose between several sizes of covers

that come with or without the actual pillow insert.

I'm happy with these, so I hope a few will end up in 

a cozy cute child's room or nursery.

I've also added some more greeting cards.

These are 5x7 cards sold in sets of  3, 5 or 10.

Plus, please peruse the plethora of Art Prints available in my shop!

* Hurry * FREE SHIPPING * through tomorrow, Sunday *

Sept 22nd until Midnight Pacific Time :)

Best part about this Saturday is that my bathroom floor can't be

ripped up ((rotted wood, moldy tiles and all)) and replaced, until tomorrow! 

As Mark Twain once said -

"Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well."

If it were up to me, it would definitely be done day after the day after after that day after

and so on, but I know that's no good either.

I love Sunday, so I hope this doesn't ruin it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a lovely day! xo, A
