I adore the new issue of Adore magazine!

One of the best things by far about this whole blogging caper is meeting lovely fellow bloggers. Judy from <a href="http://verandahhouse.blogspot.com/">Verandah House</a> and I met last year, and she's an absolute sweetheart. I was thrilled to see her, along with fellow blogger (and fellow sweetheart!) Sharnel from <a href="http://mylife-myloves.blogspot.com/">My Life-My Loves</a>, featured in the April/May issue of <a href="http://www.adoremagazine.com/#!read">Adore magazine</a>. And what's more, Judy was sweet enough to mention my '<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68324832/abstract-ikat-new-series">Abstract Ikat</a>' painting in her feature.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TB3NZbT2TrbVLjojNVQyBhgNUSQgbzdnIjYzN_9K00t230YxRMl0ecCpFCcft4_8NV6Vd0NhhZyFiA2dwQY0MtZdqAr4tbFO5u1PiTY1dn5uBE4J6nozSibL2sZr5iE74rSfXw0ulPU/s1600/adore+magazine+april+2011+page+46.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TB3NZbT2TrbVLjojNVQyBhgNUSQgbzdnIjYzN_9K00t230YxRMl0ecCpFCcft4_8NV6Vd0NhhZyFiA2dwQY0MtZdqAr4tbFO5u1PiTY1dn5uBE4J6nozSibL2sZr5iE74rSfXw0ulPU/s1600/adore+magazine+april+2011+page+46.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">you can check out the latest Adore magazine <a href="http://www.adoremagazine.com/#!read">here</a> - it's fabulous as always</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfb-BdA-qi0v9XUBIprcHb7DI_M-ysFOYEEEl5oERX7d4jq1nKUS6UIt53iB1UBFlMKiIKW7Qt2EQwuGiOKeRFAqzgcEqgS08H3bdROhrlWZTlLQEs-uauCSEwWv5F7jktwccGzOocZEo/s1600/fuze+interior+portrait+3+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfb-BdA-qi0v9XUBIprcHb7DI_M-ysFOYEEEl5oERX7d4jq1nKUS6UIt53iB1UBFlMKiIKW7Qt2EQwuGiOKeRFAqzgcEqgS08H3bdROhrlWZTlLQEs-uauCSEwWv5F7jktwccGzOocZEo/s1600/fuze+interior+portrait+3+watermark.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">'Abstract Ikat'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">watercolour on paper</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">210mm x 297mm</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">for sale on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68324832/abstract-ikat-new-series">Etsy</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>And did you notice the stunning chinoiserie chair as well?
