Wishing You a Happy New Year…

Hijiri — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:00:53 +0000

This will be my last post of the year 2010… ((How fast did 2010 fly away? Was that a year ago already?!)) It’s been another great year here at Heartfish, thank you so much for visiting and sharing your thoughts, all your sweet words, cheers, smiles… everything! It really means a lot to me (happy tears) :)

It’ll be 3 years in January since I started this blog and I am launching a new letterpress company, Heartfish Press (have you signed up our mailing list yet?) then, too, so I think I’d like to stay focus on design inspirations even more next year… will have a fresh new look, new weekly posts etc. I can’t wait for you to see!

((Live What You Love 2011 Special Edition is on its way…))

We are driving up today to Cape Cod, Massachusetts to celebrate the new year’s day with our lovely friends :) Wishing you a very happy and exciting New Year… May 2011 be filled with joy, love and creativity!

I will see you all next Monday — that’ll be in 2011! Happy New Year :)

I had such a fun time at Kings County General Store Holiday market yesterday, yes, the weather was bad (it rained… again, but could be way worse i.e snow storm) but I got lots of warm support and instant feedback that I never get from selling online, gave me so much energy and motivation! Thank you soo much for each one of you who came and looked at my work, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I don’t do this often so the display could be better… notes for next time… :) Oh, next time will be Heartfish Press! By the way, you can sign up for our mailing list now, please do if you are interested from here!

and wow, it really is a count down time for Christmas! I should get my stuff together… big time! :)
