tiny happy

These flowers were brought back from the park by a group of nieces, tightly clutched between hot fingers and tied together with ivy vine. 

We had a pretty gorgeous time here over Easter, with so many cousins, aunts, uncles and friends in one house. Quite a bit of sighing (and washing) has happened since yesterday, when life returned to 'normal'. I illustrated these small coffee cups: they're vintage Crown Lynn white ceramic, illustrated with small sprigs (inspired by the gifted niece-bouquets) and slightly tinted with blue here and there.

I found this yesterday: '36 grandmothers from around the world, and the food they cook'. I think you'll like it.
