I am grinningly happy to introduce our new line of wooden brooches to you. Here's the first, the very lovely FoxGirl, magically transformed from my illustration into a real, live beauty.
We received them quite a few months ago, and after the first initial squealing fest was over, as well the varnishing and pin-attaching party, the next challenge was to find just the right packaging for them.
I can't tell which I'm happier about, the FoxGirl brooch, the label of little Trafalgar Rabbit trying to catch stars, or the crinkly brown paper that fills each box. All in all, I think this definitely one of my favorite creations. And it's just in time for adorning fall cardigans and back-to-school totes.
I have two more designs that are almost at the up-for-sale stage, so I'm thinking all these little treasures will be available for purchase on Thursday of this week!
So, now about that giveaway I mentioned earlier. What better way to kick off the brooch collection than with a little giveaway? This time, there will be two winners, and each will receive a FoxGirl brooch tucked snugly in a little gift box.
Enter in two easy steps:
1.Leave a comment (please limit one per person) below stating which illustration from trafalgar's square you'd like to see as a future brooch
2. Blog, twitter, facebook, or tell a friend about this giveaway.
That's all there is to it. The giveaway ends Friday at midnight and I'll announce the winners on Saturday morning, so be sure to check back. Here's best of luck to you!

Do I have to pick just one? I think the "royal little owl" would be lovely, as I am into owls lately and it has such a nice shape for a brooch -- but so would "bunny hug" and the "little scholar."
So happy to have chanced upon your shop and blog. Have grand ideas of a series of your prints on the wall of my little girl's room someday!
Not sure how to prove to you that I have told a friend about your giveaway...but I am emailing several now!

Another vote here for Little Scholar- I love that one! I need to find some wall space in my daughter's room and buy it to add to her Trafalgar's Square collection :)

I think Wishing Mouse would make a lovely broach...it's also one of the prints hanging on my daughter's bedroom wall :).
I've raved about your work to some friends and pointed them to your giveaway.

I think the best buddies with the blonde boy would may a cute brooch as well! Love this new creation of yours - congrats - I am sure these brooches will do very well because they are absolutely adorable! :)

I'm another vote for the Little Scholar girl, though I'll always have a soft spot for the Baby Mine print—it's in my son's nursery.

Royal Little Owl would be my pick for the next brooch because I have a special spot for owls. :o)

Stumbled to you from Etsy.
I just am enthralled with your art! Wondering when you'll do some books?
