Dorothea sent me a link to her fantastic illustrations— I love international art, and this is a good representation of what Berlin’s been cooking up this year…

Happy Tuesday; it’s GIVEAWAY DAY! Are you getting tired of these yet? I hope not, b/c I’ve got some fantastic giveaways lined up through April and beyond! You are the luckiest blog readers EVER.

Today’s goodie is from a dear friend Alyson Fox, whom I would probably list as one of my favorite current artists to date. She’s kindly offered this cutie print to a very lucky Tuesday winner!

Comment away, and good luck!

I have some VERY fun news for you. My dear friend Jaime and I are officially in business… not as chefs, but as business bakers.

We put our heads together to bring something to this community that we all need [especially now!]: business advice. I receive dozens of emails daily asking me about blogs, marketing, indie products, etc, and I can finally take the time to realllllly answer those questions.

So, if you’re a business owner (or are hoping to be!), email us at thinkbakery@gmail.com and tell us what you need help with. Jaime’s incredibly smart, and well… I’m along for the ride. Just kidding. I’m smart, too.

I promise!
p.s. Remember our fun Roadmaps series? Bookmark The Bakery blog for plenty more where that came from…

New [and hauntingly beautiful] work from Agnes Thor. Keep it up, Highness. I love this girl.

This tee from Three Bears is all sorts of cute. I love the concept, too. How adorable would it be if the Mama and Papa trees looked out for all of the little trees? Aww… :)

Here we go again with the sketchbooks… if anyone wants to know the true way to this gal’s heart, it’s a fun sketchbook.

Phil keeps a blog of all of his illustrations, and I find them to be super fun and quite good. Also, I love tigers today.

Oh gracious– I am quite embarrassed, but I just realized today was President’s Day, so since everyone else is taking the day off, I am, too! Yay, Presidents!

BUT… before I go, I have some big news. The Free Encouragement project is in its final phase and we have chosen our designs! What this means for you is that two very beautiful postcard sets will be available for sale right here in a week or so. I’ll keep you posted [literally], but in the mean time, here’s a teaser of one of my favorite designs that didn’t make the cut, but that I LOVED…

All thanks to our 400+ entries! What a tough decision this was!
