Paper Birch Art

FEBRUARY I love turning over a new calendar page and starting a fresh new week. Mondays are busy around here, catching up on weekend orders, tackling laundry and putting the house back together after it inevitably comes undone every weekend.... anyone else? Let me know what your Mondays are like!

Throwback Thursday to photographing Millie and her siblings last year with @tasselsnknots #easiersaidthandone But so much fun!

Delivered a large restock of cards today to @flower_fountain in Aylmer including Valentine's designs like this one This beautiful shop is the place I began my dream job as a florist and it still feels like home when I walk through the door (Shop safely by ordering through their website or calling in for curbside pickup!)

This new birthday card is rustic ... almost too rustic for me. But when I asked my husband what he thought, he loved it, so we're keeping it! It's a good reminder for me to use different scenes and styles (so not everything is peonies and poppies) But what do you think; do you like real- life scenes like this one? Let me know!

N E W For the longest time, I've wanted to create this greeting card! An envelope bursting with tiny blooms, that says "happy mail" all on its own. I love this design for Valentine's Day, a birthday, an anniversary or just because! Let me know in the comments what occasion you'd send it for!

Booth's Harbour, ON.

The Maker's Outpost - Nestled in the heart of historic Collingwood, this shop houses Canadian-made goods and DIY supplies and I'm honoured to be a part of it. A fresh new batch of greeting cards is on its way to this beautiful place!

It feels like Fall has officially arrived here in Ontario Besides drinking all the hot beverages to keep warm, I've also been putting together a giveaway to celebrate 4 years of business in October. It won't be live tomorrow like I'd hoped (I'm still gathering some pieces for it) but stay tuned!

My husband first spotted this beautiful little path beside the Georgian Bay and brought me to it a couple days later, adding he thought I might like to photograph it. He was right and it was exactly this type of card I could envision making with it. It reminds me of friends walking side by side and I hope that feeling is portrayed and felt when it's sent to its recipient "1 TheLordis my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Psalm 23 Verse 1-3

I was excited to find a tiny flaw on one of the birthday calendars because it meant I got to keep one for myself! #itsthelittlewins I would be lost without one by my desk to remember birthdays & anniversaries PS: I still have 2 in stock here and 2 available @therusticfeatherbarntique if you're looking for one!

Are you looking for that perfect card to add to a special gift? Michele from @paperbirchart takes all her own photos for her cards. This one specifically I love... And can you believe that this Happy Autumn card made by @flyingideas , that she is only 15 years old!! Daphne is extremely talented and her watercolour cards are just beautiful. Cards are only $4/each or 4/$14. #therusticfeatherbarntique #barntique #barnfinds #unique #barn #oldtruck #watercolour #farm #gifts #card #handmade #supportthemakers #youngentrepreneur #simcoeontario #norfolk #norfolkcounty #shopping #retail #country #countryliving

Watercolour Stickers I designed these custom stickers to include as a freebie in my fall Etsy orders. They printed white and I added some color and texture with homemade watercolours. I love both of these but I'd love to know which one is your favourite; the paper airplane or floral camera?

If I'm being honest, I'm not ready for Fall yet This year has been unlike any other and we've spent some amazing time outdoors and it'll be hard to give that up (for the most part). But the temperatures have been dropping and the pumpkins are ready in the garden so it seemed like it was time to add some autumn touches around the house. (These are dollar store pumpkins I painted a couple of years ago and they are still holding up nicely ) What about you? Have you decorated yet? I'd love to know!

Coming soon! A @therusticfeatherbarntique original! This beautiful, old teal-blue truck has become an icon of the Barntique over the last year and it seemed only fitting to create a custom greeting card to honour it! (insert classic truck emoji here) Available soon in the Barntique and online at www.etsy.com/shop/paperbirchart
