December 2020 – Cindy Mangomini

Bye Bye 2020!!

2020, The Year We All Stayed Home.

BYE BYE 2020! This Friends TV Show inspired drawing, was my third most liked post of 2020 and I thought it was a fitting one to end the year with. ⁠

I think I made this one in March. Oh how little we knew then about how the rest of the year would be!
If you’re reading this it means you survived 2020, congrats!⁠ I want to thank everyone who follows my work. THANK YOU for your support, comments, likes, kind messages and orders, I REALLY appreciate it so much!!⁠ Have a good last day of this terrible year and see you in 2021.⁠ Take care!⁠ 🥂⁠

I have three other Friends-themed available in my Etsy shop. The classic Central Perk coffee mug, a birthday card, and one with Joey Tribbiani’s famous catchphrase “How you doin‘?”

You can also follow me on Pinterest and Instagram to be the first to see if I add more.

Hello Winter!

Today is the first official day of winter (on the Northern hemisphere that is). And although this one will be a little (or a lot) different from other years, there’s still so much to enjoy. For starters: the days will start to get longer again, hurray!! And what about candles, cozy knitwear, yummy comfort food and long winter walks followed by hot drinks? (Mulled wine is my favourite!) Winter can also be a time to recharge, find new inspiration and make plans. Are you as excited for the start of winter as I am? I would love to hear it and why.

December Sadness

When your self care routine is not enough and you just feel sad.
I had quite a horrible week but at least I managed to do some drawing again so things are going in the right direction. For those also feeling the December/2020 blues: take care!💚⁠

Happy International Tea Day!

Tea is Always A Good Idea (In Drawings)

Happy international tea day! I’m a huge tea-lover, so of course I have to celebrate this with one of my most popular illustrations. Did you know that this is actually a day to bring attention to the often poor working conditions in the tea industry? So: tea is always a good idea, but make sure you buy from tea brands that support fair trade.

I have this illustration available on Etsy on postcards and prints.

Want More (Hand Drawn) Tea?

Take a look in my Etsy shop. I have a very similar card with a different text available there, as well as much more hand drawn happiness that often includes tea.

Hej! Scandinavian Style, Illustrated.

Scandinavian Winter Style, In Drawings.

Scandinavian-winter-style-inspired illustration, because French style is not the only style I’m obsessed with.⁠.

I love the simple, practical yet elegant fashion that Scandinavians are known for. They really know how to dress well for the cold. I often think of their famous saying: “There is no bad weather, only bad clothes” when I feel like staying inside because of bad weather. It really motivates me to go outside anyway.

If you like this drawing, take a look at my Scandinavian Winter Style postcard on Etsy. You can also follow me on Instagram for more regular updates.

I’m selling a few original drawings, in A4 and A5 size. I have them available in my Etsy shop.

PS. I’m selling a few original drawings, in A4 and A5 size. I have several up in my Instagram stories, but I might add the others to my Etsy shop. I’m not sure yet.⁠
