At the beginning of this year, my family and began our adoption journey. My health issues sort of got in the way for a few months there, but now we are back on track. It has been in our master plan forever, and feels almost surreal now that it is on the horizon. It also feels a bit daunting financially.
While i ABSOLUTELY LOVE to donate to friends and strangers when I hear they are saving up funds toward an adoption (ya’ll know kids are my heart and soul), we are planning to Penny-Pinch & Art-Sale our way toward our total. Yes, i turned “Art-sale” into a hyphenated verb. To that end, I have started selling off all my drawers full of original illustrations, watercolors, paintings….you name it! Some things will go into my etsy shop, some things were already sold at an Open Studio event I had a couple weeks ago. AND lots of artwork is going to be posted on Instagram with the hashtag #tinylove. If you’d like to follow my instagram, you can do so here.
So far, the sweet PIXIE RACCOON shown way up top was sold today, the FANCY PANTS PEACOCK above found it’s new home yesterday, and the pair of BITTY FAIRIES just there below went on their way last week.
I am so thankful for this great start and hope I can keep up the momentum! I would also be forever appreciative if you all would share the sales on social media and with friends who may need some new art on the wall.

All my love and thanks in advance,
