Hi there.

Just a quickie, to shine a light on some wonderful stamps, which never get old:

Jayne’s Winter Scenes A5 Square Stamp & Mask Collection

STA-WI-11096-A5

• £40.38
• RRP £80.75  

Maybe you remember Jayne Nestorenko. She was a smashing woman, very gently spoken, wicked sense of humour. Good friend. Both Paul and I loved her dearly. She was a classy lady. She was also a talented artist.

I like looking at her work; it reminds me of her.

She called me one day, and asked me whether I’d be interested in buying some of her illustrations. She was very ill, and was fretting. Trying to tie up loose ends, I guess. Of course, I said absolutely, and YES! “But you need to pick what you want” she said, “so do come and see me”. As if I was going to reject a single thing! Paul and I went up to visit her, spent a few magical hours with her, made a deal which suited her well, and then got to work.

We developed a beautiful collection of floral stamps with her art, and I launched it on TV. We shouted about Jane Nestorenko, we promoted her art, we involved her, we sang about her as loudly as we could! We even got her on the phone during a LIVE Sunday TV show. It felt so good to be able to bring her back to the top, where she belonged. She’d been ill for a while and had not been active. You know how it goes. When she died, in January 2017, she was right back at the top of her arty game. Hallelujah.

We also wanted to show her how amazing her artwork was in Groovi and parchment too. When Paul and I went up to see her again, to show her the wonderful samples from the DT, she was blown away. it really was special.

So yes. This Winter Collection is very dear to my heart. Jane LOVED Christmas!! She loved what we did with her designs too…

  

AND we gained an hour today! I shall use it wisely…

Love and Clarity,
