Here's a sweet & simple 5 minute DIY to try!

Eye Candy - Miyahara Hazuki

Stumbled across Japanese artist Miyahara Hazuki's work on Pinterest and simply had to share!

I love how playful and colourful this work is. The fluidity - magic!

Miyahara creates under the name hacco - see more work here, check out hacco's blog or discover other artists in the site's excellent link section.

Send Pretty Mail #21 - Cotton & Flax

I have a pretty unabashed love for postcards - so, this month, Send Pretty Mail is putting down the envelope and embracing the simple (yet stunning) postcard!


I've actually been dreaming of a postcard art gallery for some time now. Art prints all in postcard form - perfect for framing, or for sending, or even for sending and then framing. Fun, right?


When I stumbled across these hand silkscreened postcards from Cotton & Flax, I knew I needed to include them in postcard month. The patterns are so wonderful - and the cardstock is 100% recycled. Love that!


Plus, I find it really hard not to love anything hot pink. It's a weakness!

Are you a fan of postcards too? At the end of the month, we'll be giving away a fantastic selection of postcards for your own collection. Stay tuned for that!

Want to receive some pretty mail in YOUR mailbox? Send me a note at info@omiyage.ca with your mailing address and a little something about yourself. I'll be making a list and choosing new friends to send mail to each month. And don't worry if you don't hear back from me right away - if you send your info, you should find a pretty piece of mail headed your way some time this year!
