"Happy Easter" elements collection

Nestled within spring's primroses, fairy-tale houses emerge, accompanied by concealed Easter eggs and an endearing duo of Easter bunnies dressed in timeless attire. This enchanting composition embodies the quintessential decoration for a radiant holiday celebration.

Magical Adventures

I adore cute animals, fairy tale creatures, and peculiar houses. There's even a lighthouse made from a teapot, a secret door, and a city snug in a coffee cup. These tales hold a special place in my heart.

Lady Cat Seamstress

In a vintage dress, a charming cat seamstress adeptly tends to her tasks – stitching new napkins, fashioning dresses. Her tools are wonders in themselves. Drawing this scene brought me joy, as my mother, a seamstress, holds a special place in my heart.

Christmas houses

Gingerbread, candy canes, spruce branches, and snowdrifts – the essence of Christmas magic! Do you share my enthusiasm for this season? And let's not forget the vintage touches – a snow globe, a house shaped like an old coffee pot, and a charming fly agaric inspired by German vintage postcards.

Little ones' adventures

Countless adventures await us, as long as we embrace them with joy! The garden transforms into a prehistoric realm, constellations weave their tales, and clouds shape-shift into unfamiliar creatures. Do you recall the art of being a child?

Blossom houses

My grandmother's flower garden held a special place in my heart. In her memory and that cherished garden, I've crafted this collection, a tribute filled with love.
