Happy St Patrick's Day

I hope you are enjoying a merry and luck filled St Patrick's Day!  Some of you may not know that my Grandfather (on my Mum's side) was Irish, sadly I never got to meet him as he lost his life very bravely in the Second World War.  But I have always been very proud of him and being part Irish (in fact I'm quarter Irish, quarter Scottish and half English!) so on this special day I send you this old Irish Blessing:

May you always have 

walls for the winds,

a roof for the rain,

tea beside the fire,

laughter to cheer you,

those you love near you

and all your heart might desire.

This Bumpkin Bunny does love to hunt for four leaved clovers!  

Lots of exciting news coming up here at Bumpkin HQ, including a very special party that I worked on for an Events company in Australia.  So do fly on by again soon.  Irish Hugs, Catherine x

Well it's been all go here so I'm a little late getting back to my Blog. I'm excited to share with you all my news, I have been asked to be part of an International Judging panel of 5 for the Gläserner Teddybär Competition. It is a real honour to be asked and to stand alongside such wonderfully talented Bear Artists. It's going to be quite a task with all the wonderful Bears. You too can vote here. This week is the beginners section voting and everyone that joins in with voting has a chance to win a prize!

Other exciting news is that I have been accepted as a Guest Contributor for the Oh My Handmade Goodness Blog. Tomorrow (April 15th) you'll be able to read my article about the enchanting Woodland Themed Baby Shower that I was lucky enough to design the invitations for.

Today has been a busy busy day taking lots of photographs, getting them ready in Photoshop and creating listings in my Etsy Store for my new range of Buttons (badges if you're in the UK!) & Magnets - SO excited :) They are nearly all loaded up. There is a limited amount of each so catch them when you can.

Thank you for all your kind words about Beau in my previous post, he is a little quiet hoping to find his new family.

See you back tomorrow for the Woodland Article and I've got some cute photos of the lambs in the field behind my garden.
