New for August in my Etsy Shop

 Finally some rain and cooler air today after the baking heat of the weekend! Looking forward to the cooler days and warm colours of Autumn and Winter with some new products in my Etsy shop.

As the cost of living rises, I've tried to keep my prices as low as possible for original, one-off items and paintings so it's easy to refresh a room scheme, find a handmade gift or top your Christmas decorations.
