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.

Low Waste Holiday Gift Ideas, In Drawings.

Affordable Sustainable Gift Guide.

If you’ve followed my illustration work over the last years, you may have noticed that I’m trying to reduce my waste and live a more minimalistic life.⁠ My goal: less stuff, less waste, more quality, more adventure! ⁠

This has totally changed the way I shop. I like to call it “consciously unshopping” haha.⁠ I still shop a little bit of course, but only things that I need or know I will love and use for a long time.⁠

Buy less, but better.

Hopefully this illustration will inspire you to also “shop less, but better”, starting this Holiday season. I really hope you will choose to support small and local businesses, because we need it more than ever this year!⁠ My own Etsy shop ships worldwide and is filled with cute hand drawn illustrated cards, prints and calendars.💚
