Little Leaf Ink

After losing my best pal Coffee Bean last month, this little cat appeared at my apartment complex in need of a home. She made herself comfortable, and hasn’t been claimed, so I’ve named her Daffodil and will happily take care of her.

I’m still dealing with the er visit costs from Coffee Bean’s cancer treatments, and wasn’t anticipating getting another cat so soon, but the cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. The vet confirmed Daffodil isn’t spayed and the procedure is over $900. I could really use the help with covering some of these costs so I’m raffling off some of my favorite products and my friends and donated some goodies as well! The raffle winner will receive my original daffodil watercolor painting, a perennial calendar, frameable cat card, set of watercolor cards, daffodil print, and daffodil earrings.

Raffle is open through 4/26, please comment DAFFODIL if you entered so I can contact you if you win! Venmo is easiest, but I can also accept other options, please dm me if needed!

Any and all help is appreciated for getting this little kitten taken care of. If you can’t enter, sharing this post is also so appreciated!

Moments from tulip season 🌷. My most recent tulip painting, tulips from my garden, wooden shoe tulip festival and one of my first watercolor paintings from high school.

I had to say goodbye to my best pal Coffee Bean earlier this week. She was my constant companion, always wanting a lap to sit on or be picked up and held. Her purrs were like a revving motor, she loved ice cream, and when she made biscuits it was a full body ordeal. A glass of water couldn’t be left out unless you wanted to share it with her. Her warm, snuggly, chatty presence is so missed. She inspired my flowers in their eyes pet series and it will be a constant reminder to me how much she was loved and an ode to all the sweet kitties we are lucky to know 🖤🐈‍⬛🖤

Flowers that will last forever for your Valentine! Come celebrate love this weekend !

Retail shops! It’s time for the winter market and my blank floral greeting cards, pressed flower pollinator frameable cards and collection of flower eyes kitty cards are on sale to stock your shelves.

As always, my cards are printed locally on premium sustainable papers with 100% recycled kraft paper envelopes. They feel as good as they look 💚🌱

Last chance on these sweet botanical faces! I loved making this series, but these are the final ones for the time being. Would love to reimagine them in the future, but after making hundreds, it’s time to explore some new ideas! Snag one for yourself or a loved one at my February markets:

Cheers to a year filled with collaborating with the loveliest of people! Here’s to another year of growing this little botanical business and celebrating all the beautiful things that grow around us! 💚🌱 Bri

After each holiday season I tell myself to maybe try to not do as much the next year. It’s just me making everything, packing up my market display, loading and unloading it from my car, carrying everything up and down streets and stairs, and it’s a lot for one gal to do. But then, when I’m standing in my booth, and people come by and ogle at all the plants I’ve collected and pressed through the year, or squeal because one of my pressed flower eye cats looks like their beloved kitty, or one of my watercolor prints reminds them of a favorite place or person. Well it is pure joy and pride for this little garden of art I’ve created and grown since 2018, and I just can’t wait to do it again. Thank you so much for the support so far this holiday season. I’ve once again signed up for a bunch of markets in December, you can find me popping up around Portland , .coffeebar and through the end of holiday season. Come shop small, support your neighbors, and find that perfect gift ✨.

Winners will be announced Monday at 10am and must be 21+ to enter.

Six new pressed flower petal pollinator and four flower eye cat frameable cards are here! At countless markets, people have asked if my originals are cards, so I took it as a sign that they should be! These cards double as a beautiful easy to frame 5 x 7 in prints and are a more affordable option for fun and unique wall art! Excited to bring them to my upcoming markets but you can also snag them in my online shop and on Etsy.
