My calendar says it's Fall already, but our temperatures in the South are still pretty warm.  Fall means we start thinking about the holidays coming.  Over the next few months I'll be creating some Holiday decorations and gift ideas.  Before I get started on those, I still had several of the new Gothique Faeries on my art table.  I wanted some way to display the Faeries so I could see them all at one time.  Here's a peek at the finished display.  

When you have finished the newsletter, be sure to check my blog and see how the rest of Faeires look, all together.  You can see a bigger peek below.
   
Warmest,

Oooo... la... la... oh, yeah!  Still on the Petites Gothique Faerie kick and I hope you are, too.  There are a couple more little samplers added to the collection and some "Flatties" (faeries already assembled in smaller sizes to stick here and there... wherever a bit of magic is needed).  More Flatties on the way to augment the eight "main" faeries now dancing around the shoppe.  I'm not tired of them, yet, so expect more and expect something different ('nuff said).

In the meantime, take a gander at Rande Hanson's Faerie Garland dressed up with trims. crepe paper and tassels.  I could also see these little faeries held up with itty bitty clothespins or Trinket Pins, dancing along a stip of ribbons or curly wire, even some glorious fibers.

I'm always lookin' to have a spot o' fun and, well, darn it, I love spreadin' it around, too.  So how about some fun and an opportunity to stock up on collage sheets all at the same time?

As a way to reintroduce you to some wonderful old favorites, and in celebration of the whimsical new names for sheets 065-091, these collage sheets will be specially priced until midnight ET, Saturday, October 4th. 

Save 30% and pay only $3.50 each for paper collage sheets 065-091, lovingly known as Mary Jean, Violet Pippin, Kaari & Lida, Waverly, Josette (Ooo la la), Juliette & Ophelia, Clover & Cordelia, Patience, Sarah Jayne, Georgianna, Pixie, Willhelmina, Gwendolyn and sweet little Alabama Jones, grand daughter to old Indiana <grin>.   

By golly, there are some new things and some of them are collage sheets.  I've just had an itch to create a few new collage sheets and there are a couple more ideas still floating around upstairs in this little noggin of mine and should be springing loose, shortly.  For now, though, take a look at this face.  Does she not inspire you?  Her name is Winifreda Bird and she's hoping you'll take her home and create a story for her.

There are also some new collage sheets (Sheets 162 and 163) with images that are perfectly sized for your 1" x 3" art.  I used them all weekend long at the PW PJammers September Art Jam.  Also, look for a familiar face: dear Pansy Rose Button.  She's in a new sheet sporting a new background, plump rosy cheeks and faerie wings (Sheet 165).  I think you'll find her very irresistible.

There are also some new Prima Essential Flowers just perfect for this lovely Autumn weather we're heading into (Mother Nature's been hinting at it here in Indiana with gorgeous blue skies and low humidity).  So, you're in the mood to use some vibrant hues in your art because of the time of year, and Prima's at the ready.  Check these out in the Pretty Petals section of the shoppe.


Some little trinkets to add to your art whether it be paper or textile.  I love these little charms - they're quite adorable.  You can find these and more in the Baubles & Beads section of the shoppe.


Rusty Tin Tiles are back in - hooray!  Perfect backdrop for your collage pieces - add a brilliant flower or two and you're in business!  Find those Rusty Tin Tiles in Rusty Stuff in the shoppe, and look for the Rusty Icicles that are back for an encore performance, as well.


You can take a gander at all this new stuff by Clicking the NEW STUFF button below which will magically transport you to the PaperWhimsy Shoppe.  I don't know how it works but, believe me, it does!
