Hi there!! I am just sneaking in for a little hello and to share some new treats with you!! You see, I have a huge event this weekend, and I am having some ladies over Saturday and Sunday… So I am running around like a madwoman, trying to get everything done. But, I really wanted to pop in and share these with you, and see what you think??? (little update below)
They are a few new postcards for my shop. Now, there are two others that I won’t share because the dye lots came in just atrocious and they are being re-made… But for now, we have…. (oh and these are nice thick satin postcards)
Miss Fungi Fairytale Girl (otherwise known as "She dreamed herself a Fungi Garden").

Backside
I can’t wait to send some of these out. I am going to choose a name at random from this post and send a little postcard sampler to that person. So, don’t forget to leave a comment…
The next postcard is of "Reverie." But since she was so square in shape, I decided to make a fun background for her, and float her in the middle. I am delighted with her…(can you tell the black border has music notes in it? tricky 😉

The next card uses one of my all time favorites, "A Peculiar Day."

And then, by popular demand, I turned "In the Chambers of the Sea," into a postcard as well…

Also, Miss Emilia is back in the shop, as a postcard. She is a love, and I missed her…

I have also, reworked "The Curious Playroom," to have a little black border so that the image itself does not get distorted. It looks like a little movie shot to me with the rounded black border.

So there you have it for now. And they are in the shop. I hate to run so quickly. I would love to stay and play. And tell you more about the Teeny Tiny Tea party winner. But, I will next time, as this is just an impromptu hellllloooo!!!!
Don’t forget to say "howdy" so I can put your name in a hat, and draw a name to receive a postcard sample with all the postacrds. Not just these, but one of each postcard in my shop.
See you sooooon!!! (Pleeeeaaase wish me luck in my weekend endeavors, I’ll need it!!) 😉 xxoo, V
ps:
“reverie” and “into the chambers of the sea” are beautiful, and so moving. so glad i found your blog! 🙂
Holy moly, these postcards are so exquisite that I don’t even know what to say!
ohhh lovely Miss V….you know i love your illustrated girls with their dreamy eyes….hugs to you my creative blogging friend!!
I just love all of these! Whoever prints your postcards does such a nice job too. I love the postcard idea too because then I can have LOTS of Vanessa for a teeny little price. But now I have to wait and see who the two missing folks are. And oooooh the suspense is building for the tea party! Hope you have a fun real life party too!
Gooorgeous postcards. As I looked at each one I went ‘that’s my favourite… no, wait, this one’s my favourite… no, hang on, this one’. lol The backgrounds work really well with them.
Good luck with your busy weekend, it sounds more fun than mine. My busyness involves several uni assignments, I’d much rather be having people over.
howdy!
beautiful whimsical postcards…love ’em
good luck in weekend endeavours, whatever they might be
Oh hello there.
Good luck for your busy weekend.
Perhaps some of your busy bee productivity will rub off on me after reading about all you’ve been up to. I really struggle to stay focused most of the time. I admire your endless outpouring of creativity. I’ve planned myself an ‘art week’ A week away just to make art, away from all my distractions in order to try and focus.

Oh all the new postcards are beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend x
they are all quite, quite gorgeous.
Hello, would love to be in the drawing! I love your postcards/artwork, particularly “The Curious Playroom” and anything with the newspaper attire! Postcards in general fascinate me. I love to collect the free ones they have in coffee shops…at least they have them in San Francisco and Paris. I don’t think I’ve seen any here.
Erin 🙂

Greetings and Salutations…..your work is so beautiful! I love reading your blog, it really inspires me to be a little more imaginative and whimsical.
There you are, getting everything done, and here I am, looking at all you’ve achieved and thinking about all that I have to do. Maybe I’ll read some more blogs…
Oh my goodness…those are soooo great! You must be beaming with pride! They are so well designed! Yay for you!
It’s me saying “Howdy!” My hand is finally able to type a little and you’re one of my first visits. You know I just LOVE your art.
Goooooooooooooooood Luuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!
Have you ever thought of turning your paintings into stationary? It’s the first thing I thought when looking at “In Chambers in the Sea.”
I am picturing you running around your place getting ready. Now you’re here, no you’re there. Ooh! There you are…But here you go again…
Beautifully rich in color and texture! I adore them!
Your cards are such a feast for the fanciful heart…absolutely delightful!
These are beautiful! I can’t decide which one I like the best as they are all so magical and lovely!

Oh, those are all beautiful. I love how you reworked Reverie. The background is just gorgeous! Good luck too with your weekend plans!
I love love all the postcards, but the little fishy lady is my fav…just because!
Oooh! Lovely postcards 🙂 Could Miss Fungi, in fact, be you? 🙂 I love the backgrounds you made for Reverie and A Peculiar Day, they go with the paintings so well!
Looking forward to the results of the Tea Party! (I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it the other day) 🙂
Hope your weekend goes well!
These are all so great.

Oooh….I love them all, but especially Fairytale Dreams! The background is sooo pretty! And The Curious Playroom…that one speaks to me for some reason….now where have I seen that piece before….no, no, don’t help…it’ll come to me! 😉
Your paper dress girl postcards are truly outstanding, the 3-D effect is absolutely amazing!
Wonderful new additions to your shop Miss V.! Oh, and I do very much like the black border around The Curious Playroom!
Oh, Good LUCK this weekend! I wish you oodles of joy and success with your big endeavor.
I really liked the Curious Playroom border…it reminded me of looking at an old slide.
Vanessa – Quite BEAUTIFUL!!! I love REVERIE and IN THE CHAMBERS OF THE SEA, but they are ALL very spectacular!!!

Love the cards and thank you for sending a couple with the Duchcess, she has arrived!
She is settling in just fine-a little weary from her trip but happy to find such a welcoming home. She still is looking for true love so I told her I would check back with you often to see if any eligible men are in her future.
Have a fun weekend.

Fabulous postcards!
Wonderful weekend wishes too you!
I found your blog just a couple weeks ago. It is just delightful & a real treat everytime I come by. Love the work you do, and it looks excellent on the postcards…..WOW
They all look great in postcard form, but I especially love that background on “Reverie.”
If you don’t mind sharing, can I ask where you got them all made? I haven’t been able to find anywhere that does rounded corners, and I really like the style.
Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks once again, for a delicious dose of your art! XO,
Bari
Your postcards are lovely!
Oh my goodness – they are all so delightful!!
It’s all so amazing. As always. I don’t know how you do it all, Vanessa. I’m seriously swamped and that doesn’t seem to make me more creative, but just tired. OOF. 😀
Love them all!!!good luck this weekend!xoxo

Today!
A couple weeks ago you stopped by my blog, thank you for stopping by at a time when i personally needed a hug. Your stopping by felt like a hug. 🙂

These cards are too wonderful! So Sweet and Curious Playroom are my favorites. I had your blog in my Internet Explorer favorites, and the bookmark had been taking me to a cached posting for almost a month. This seemed strange, so I finally typed in the URL instead of using the bookmark, and found all sorts of wonderful posts that I’d missed. Has anyone else had this problem with an IE bookmark? This blog is WONDERFUL and brings me lots of fanciful joy! Thank you!
Wishing you luck Sweetheart,
As always, your work is just beautiful.
Hugs for your pal,
Cookie Sunshine
your post cards and art is simply stunning!

Wow! You are extremely talented! Its too hard to pick a favorite, but since I have a love of sweets, it would have to be “You are Sweet”. Love them all!! Best wishes to you in your exciting weekend – Dream Big!
I have to add my name to the hat…my print of the Playroom is in my room…have a great weekend!
What ever you are up to…wishing you mucho luck! Your postcards are so cool..I would hate to be forced to pick just one…and heaven knows that I wouldn’t be able to ever send one away….
It is always so fun to come and see you and your wonderful new work. LOL
Wow V,your list of comments keeps getting longer and longer!!!you populair lady you!big kiss and love Dees
Do you have a print available of “chambers of the sea?” I was just talking to my little girl last night as we lay in her bed together…she’s almost 4 years old… and we decided we’d like to decorate her room in an undersea motif… A print like this would be so perfect!

Oh rats, you’re sold out on your Reverie. That one just caught my eye. Hope your weekend went well.
I’ve been sick again, & this post & the one under put a smile on my face. Thanks
