My Buttons Are Poppin'...

I'm so excited for my friend, Shell May, that I just have to crow about her latest accomplishment! Shell's business and blog are called The Raspberry Rabbits. Many of you have visited her in the past, but just in case you have yet to meet her, allow me to introduce you!
This is Shell's beautiful face. She's a self-described textile folk artist and an all around talented woman. She's about as "big as a minute", but her heart is as huge as the whole outdoors. I'm honored to call her my friend.

She runs her business from her home, so her staff is small but dedicated. They write guest posts on her blog from time to time. I know you can understand how a person could share their blog with their pets...er... staff (you visit Taggart and me, after all!), so you'll surely find Sir Harrington and Lady Hannah sweet and amusing.

Why am I so excited to talk about Shell, Harrington and Hannah today? Well, Shell and her staff have just published their first book called "Briarside Lane". I have my very own copy and it's fabulous!

Shell shares her Folk Art Fusion method and then features a series of fabulous designs so that you can perfect her technique in your own home.  I love every single design, and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to decide which one to make first!

Here's a link to The Raspberry Rabbits blog, and a direct link to purchase your own copy of her new book, Briarside Lane.  You might as well look around her shop while you're there. She has all kinds of great things!

Congratulations, "Shelby Marie". 
I'm so happy for you!
