Recently I visited Heather at Audrey Eclectic, whose terrific 'Blogs with a View' article is found right after mine. She is a talented painter of beautiful folk art filled with nostalgia of bygone days. I love her humor, talent and fondness for the past. It all shows in her romantic artwork, drawing out a wistful smile.
I was the fortunate recipient of these lovely postcards of her work, after winning them in a giveaway on her blog:
I'll be using these postcards in my Christmas decor:
Turns out Heather and I have things in common - an appreciation for Scandinavian style, love of Jane Austen & mystery books, habit of hoarding old magazines, and most importantly, daughters with the same name and age! It's fun to 'meet' someone so nice in blogland and have a 'you, too??' exchange.
Make sure you visit Heather and see her new listings of Jane Austen inspired postcards. Sigh...

Susan,
Aw thank you for such sweet words! I am so happy we found eachother across the miles, both of us with our little Audreys and love of Swedish Christmas and old timey things. I love meeting a kindred spirit, and I'm so glad you like the postcards!
The cards are so beautiful and unique! I just added her shop to my Etsy faves:)
What beautiful artwork! It's so nice to know that there are so many kindred spirits here in blog land, isn't it?
I ADORE Heather's work, and she's a pretty neat girl in person. Darling family. I have several of her prints and one original, a commissioned piece from my best friend. It is honestly the best gift I've ever received. I'm glad I clicked on this blog, too, Heather from your FB post! Love this style!
