The delicate watercolors and droll English country stories of Beatrix Potter are legendary. Her most popular character, Peter Rabbit, can be found almost anywhere. A while ago I managed to purchase a number of old Beatrix Potter books and the images inspired me to create this garden themed collection, named after the elderly gardener who makes his first appearance in The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902). This playful collection has the spirit of a sunny spring day in the country, and offers a gorgeous set of painterly papers, delicately enriched with floral stamps, brushes and overlays, a bunch of adorable embellishments that are inspired by the books, but that can also be used in a more general garden themed project, a variety of paint, vintage stamps, labels, seed packets, crocheted pieces, wildflowers, and word art stickers… In shades of carrot, butter, periwinkle, olive, sapphire and caramel, a soft but still bright and cheerful color scheme that is perfect for documenting your garden parties and adventures, a farm stay vacation or even for your Easter projects.

Can you believe that Easter is here in just a week? It’s been a while since I had a bit of a spring feeling, it’s been raining a lot in Belgium. But now I’m here in my studio, and I can see the blossoming trees in the meadow next to where I live and the sun is shining.

And to help you prepare for Easter, I’m having a sale in my Etsy shop thru April 20. Everything is 40% off (excluding licenses).

I’ve got a lot of Easter themed products in my shop: a banner, gift boxes, gift tags, egg hunt signs… and I also have an Easter junk journal kit!

What’s more, she is hosting a give-away AND I’m also giving away 3 coupons of 10 USD for my Etsy shop. All you have to do is subscribe to her channel en answer the question she asks in the video. You could use those coupons to shop in my Etsy shop during the sale.

Good luck!
