Chocolates From France & Bunnies With Headgear
Sara is back from her long journey, and she brought us some very beautiful and tasty presents. This little owl and squirrel are too much:
Look at how beautiful and detailed they are! The little talons on the owl? They kill me.
Also killing me (in a good way, of course) is the new-to-me tiny book from Renee French, Edison Steelhead's Lost Portfolio. Here is one of my favorite, erm..."troubled"... rabbits:
They're such beautiful images...it's hard to not to want to frame up a bunch and make a mini-gallery.
Renee French is amazing.
I'm very glad to have my friend back, and to have purchased this sweet little book today. The rabbits remind me of Sara and her work (and she knows that's a compliment).
And thanks for all the Portland advice! I'm going to make a list with the "must-try-to-do's" tomorrow to pack with us for Friday.






Darling chocolate and bunnies! I'm excited to hear about your trip when you return.

The chocolate bunny and owl look beautiful and delicious. How does one eat such beautiful things? I guess you can frame your photo of them and then eat them. Oh, this would drive me nuts! :oD

Oh how I love Renee French! Long time fan. Thank you for pointing out this bookie. It looks great and I hadn't heard of it.

I'm about a week late in commenting, Emily, but I just wanted to add to what I am sure are TONS of people who told you they absolutely love your gorgeous work and your sunny and fun and happy blog! I bought three of your prints back in February, which was my first ever Etsy purchase, and I was really touched that with all the e-mailing you must have to do, that you replied to me with a personal message. Thanks so much for all the inspiration, and have a WONDERFUL week!!!
xoxoxo!

Oh, those chocolates are so beautiful! And that little troubled bunny is so dear.
I thought I'd mention that I was inspired by your dolls and the Babette dolls to make one of my own! Her name is Sylvie. I posted pics on my blog http://mytutorlist.blogspot.com/
Have a nice day!

I must get that Renee French book! As it is, you've inspired me today to pull my copy of The Ticking off the shelf to re-read.

Being a design fanatic and recent blogger , Ive been paging through some design blogs where I ran across an image of a room with your artwork in it. Ive always been curious how a room would look with Black Apple art and this is a great example. I would love to see more if anyone knows of other images.

Oh, how lovely they are! Unlike those who feel these little pretties can't/shan't be eaten because they're just too dear, I say you simply must sample them. Ever since I was a little girl, I've had this strange little habit of anthropomorphizing nearly everything in my head, feeling that objects, items, animal-shaped-foods etc. will feel hurt/neglected if they're not used for their purpose. Wondering if they weren't quite good enough for everything they were destined for. It makes me blue to even think about it. Like, the apple I've let go bad before eating. Or the stale marshmallow Peep that is the one-too-many and gets tossed. A magic marker dried out in the back of the cabinet before ever being used. My silly little heart goes out to them. Take a bite.

I've been a Renee French fan for a long time. I have one of her books, The Soap Lady. It's amazing. She has another one I want but it's out of print and copies on Amazon are through the roof!
