Sweet William Stall set up for Christmas Markets Well it has been busy, busy, busy here in Sweet William land! Today I am setting up for 2 wonderful markets in Melbourne. Unfortunately Shelley (my sister) couldn't join me this time but I have roped in a lovely friend (Louise) who will be helping out with the Sweet William stall at Magnolia Square while I am at the BIg Design Market in Carlton. I always try and do some new work for the markets and this new piece is entitled Pink Poppies - a soft water colour and ink study of a beautiful bunch of poppies I had on my kitchen bench a little while ago.  This will be available to sell for the first time (in the new A3 plus size!) at both of these events. Do pop in and say hello, I love to her from blog readers. Ok the next few days are going to be kinda crazy and I am sure lots of fun!

Well it is Christmas time after all! Sweet William will be at Magnolia Square this weekend in Malvern Town Hall and we are offering a Magnolia Square shopper a chance to win $200 worth of our prints! Just pop on over here for your chance to win!

Here are a whole lot of freshly, hand made Mini Camilles getting ready to go to market. We will be at Markit at Federation Square on Sunday.

Markit @fedsqaure this Sunday Sweet William will be at Markit@Fedsquare this Sunday. This is always a very well curated design market with some amazing artists and creative businesses. Plus there are some great hampers to be won ! Pop in and say hello if you are in the city on Sunday at Federation Square in Melbourne from 10am until 5pm, this market is definitely not to be missed!

Peony by Paula Mills for Sweet William Painted Peony by Paula Mills for Sweet William My all time favourite flower is the Peony. When I see one, I have to stop and take it in. The volouptuouse form, the softness, the fullness, the delicate colours, the wonderfulness of these flowers! I am so taken by these flowers that I have tried to capture them on paper on quiet a few occasions and I think it is some thing I will keep on drawing. Here are some shots of a bunch of soft pink Peonies I had at home and two illustrations I have done, both available in our etsy shop as prints.
