BACK IN STOCK: CHRISTMAS CARD SETS

Tonight, I’m delighted to share some joyful tidings with you. My cherished Christmas card sets have made a last-minute comeback, ready to sprinkle holiday magic on your festive celebrations!

Each stroke on these cards holds a piece of my heart, I loved working on them! I hope they will carry the enchantment of this festive season. I wanted them to be more than just paper – a warm hug of Christmas spirit, as I feel we need more heartfelt hugs, especially this year.

LIGHT OF HOPE

Every now and then, I revisit an illustration when I sense that there's another story to be told.

A feeling of restlessness has taken hold of me amidst the tumult of our world.

And I can't help but wonder: Can we, for a moment, collectively hit the pause button?

Can we replace the thirst for greed and war with a nourishment of compassion? Is it possible that together we infuse the air with a little bit more love and kindness?

Let us ponder on the choices we make—realizing that they extend beyond ourselves, reaching others and our precious planet.

In this shared journey, please choose the path of empathy and kindness, recognizing the impact our choices can have on the world around us.

Please find this illustration as a postcard nestled within your packages this weekend— I just really, really want to share a little extra light with the world. And I hope you will share it with your dear ones.

Thank you for being here with me.✨💛

With love, Iris Esther

PS: Feel free to share this illustration far and wide 🙏🏻

SINTERKLAAS MEMORIES Reflecting on the celebrati

SINTERKLAAS MEMORIES

Reflecting on the celebrations of Sinterklaas always takes me back to the enchanting moments of childhood. The anticipation, the wonder, and the hopeful longing on the 5th of December, especially in the afternoon, remain etched in my memory.

It was a time when innocence translated into hope, a hopeful yearning to have been good throughout the year. The wait on this magical day felt like an eternity.

As the hours crawled by, we would escape outside to play, all the while keeping an eye on the sky, waiting for the moon to make its appearance. Because, in our childlike belief, Sinterklaas might just choose that moment to stop by and leave behind some presents.

Looking back, there's an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the simple joy and privilege of being able to celebrate. The realization of how fortunate we were, adds an extra layer of appreciation to the cherished memories.

In the story of times gone by, these celebrations stand out as a reminder of the magic, hope and generosity that define the spirit of Sinterklaas.

‘SINTERKLAASJE’ has been added to the postcard collection in my little webshop. You are so very welcome there….✨💛

I am so moved by this incredible journey with you! Your enthusiasm for the perpetual calendar has been overwhelming. What began as a personal project and a sweet trip down memory lane, evolved into a shared experience that is going to warm so many hearts and has made mine sing!

Tonight is my last gentle reminder that the pre-order time will run until the 1st of November 10:00 UTC +1 and then she will make her way to the printers accompanied by a small rise of the price. You can still order your piece of painted poetry before this Wednesday to secure the exclusive pre-order rate.✨

Thank you so much for transforming this journey into an exceptionally meaningful experience. This wouldn't be possible without you.

With love Iris Esther,

PS Swipe to have a look at all the 12 months of the calendar. The door to my cozy little webshop is always open, simply follow the leave covered road to the link above. You are so welcome there 🍂✨💛

Capturing a moment in time with my debut calendar—pen in hand, I inscribed the first names of my loved ones which I think, is probably the best part of having a calendar 😊 That moment your pen touches the paper….It is such a personal nostalgic journey with so many memories. Each name on the pages echoes little whispers of days gone by. 💛✨

You can still join in on this journey of reminiscence and creation. The pre-order window is open until this Wednesday 1th of November 11:00 CET and then I will gently close her and the calendar will gracefully waltz off to the printers, accompanied by a small rise in price.

It’s hard to put into words what it means to see so many of you already embracing this slow-down and take-your-time to daydream calendar. I am eagerly anticipating the joy of wrapping up your packages in the second week of November. I've ordered beautiful recycled golden wrapping paper to add an extra touch of festive cheer to your orders. ✨⭐️

Thank you for making this journey so very special! 🌟

I am overflowing with joy to finally share with yo

I am overflowing with joy to finally share with you: My debut calendar. This calendar is a long kept wish and became a walk down memory lane, a nod to the warmth of my beloved grandmother.

I found myself reminiscing about the days surrounded by my grandmother's loving warmth. This calendar, a personal tribute to a wonderful childhood memory, takes residence in the comforting embrace of her little private sanctuary. A cozy retreat where, as a little girl I found solace in staring at the pictures of her birthday calendar, as my imagination unfolded with each visit.

Yet, beyond the sentimental reverie, I’d like to think of this calendar as an ode to the vanishing art of slowing down. I hope it will call us to reconsider the constant companionship of our phones when stepping into these little spaces. Let us embrace those moments and have a little daydream.

Of course, not all calendars will find their way into the small sacred spaces of our homes. Whichever space you have in mind, kitchen, classroom, office; this calendar is a personal invite to cherish and commemorate your dearest moments in life- birth dates, wedding anniversaries and the memories of loved ones.

I painted all names of the months and numbers by hand, to add a personal touch and to emphasise my love for everything heart - and handmade. I’d love to see this calendar stand the test of time, that’s why it’s printed on the most heavy FSC certified paper possible. It will easily slip through your mailbox, the sizing a compact 30x18 cm | 11.8x7.08 inch.

The perpetual calendar is now available for pre-order for a special pre-order price. Orders will be shipped in the second week of November, perfectly in time for the festive season.

If you add other items to your cart, they will all be shipped together. If you have items that are time sensitive, please let me know and I’ll take care of it for you.

Thank you so much for your support over these last few years, you have made childhood dreams come true.

PUMPKIN GLOW I am so grateful that I can share my

PUMPKIN GLOW

I am so grateful that I can share my latest illustration that emerged from the early morning whispers of this week. Amidst deadlines, finishing the perpetual calendar (it's coming!) and nursing an unwell little girl at home, time became a delicate matter. Yet, this illustration was a breeze, a personal comfort zone where I could unwind, be quiet and listen to the story that was waiting to be told:

As I painted, I envisioned children mesmerized by the dance of lantern flames, anticipating the magic of the upcoming Martinmas celebration. I’ve now witnessed this celebration many many times and it just mirrors the innocence of a thousand childhoods....✨

Wrapped in a cozy warm vest, fueled by steaming tea, I painted through the quiet hours. A few hours each morning that I had all to myself and this enchanted little girl and her dear companions. And today, she is ready to step into the world....🍂💛

I hope you will embrace her light as much as I have.

She will be gracing a new A4 size art print and will also be available as an postcard, wonderful to grace your seasonal table this Martinmas….

SPOILER ALERT: In a super last minute decision, I deciced that she'll also be part of the upcoming perpetual calendar! The prototype will go to the printers this Monday morning and I'm eagerly anticipating it's arrival to share here with you. Stay tuned!

"𝑃𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑘𝑖𝑛 𝐺𝑙𝑜𝑤" can be found in the art print ánd postcard section of my cozy little webshop... Simply follow the leave covered road to the link above, the door is right open..... Feel free to wander and wonder.....✨💛

With love, Iris Esther 💛

And as the sun dips below the horizon, bidding adieu to summer's golden glow, I would love to share another glance at the Fall Favorites set. 🍂💛

With this curated selection of all my favorite fall greeting cards, I am hoping to preserve some of that summer warmth in your heart, to take with you during colder days ahead.

Even though the temperature is surprisingly high this week here in our tiny Netherlands, but I've been folding and hand stamping boxes for the seasons to come, like a little squirrel preparing for winter. 🐿️

Paired with 5 charming craft envelopes, these cards are housed in a cute biodegradable box, which also makes it a delightful gift. 🎁

These greeting cards are my personal invite for you to explore a realm of timeless fairytales and childhood whimsy moments. I hope these sweet forest animals having little adventures in their natural habitat, will have a warm place with you and your loved ones….💌

You are so welcome to wander around in my cozy little webshop filled with art prints and cards made with little pieces of my heart. ❤️

Every order receives a personal touch, wrapped with love and care by yours truly.

With love Iris Esther ✨
