Say hello to Lola!
Lola is very wise, her sentiment says,
πΈ" Whether you think you can or you can't you are right".πΈ
She reminds us to think positively, to believe in ourselves and that if things don't go to plan it's ok.
Be kind to yourselves this weekend lovelies. Xx

The thing about December is you have loads of time, then you blink and suddenly it's the 20th already! π
πI'm just popping in to give you a very gentle reminder about posting dates - my last day of posting is the 14th π
Of course, you can still order after that, but I cant guarantee it will be with you in time..... I had a very stressful time last year chasing couriers to make sure customers got their orders, and I'm not able for it again! π€ͺ
Here are some little gift ideas, click the image and it will bring to that item on my website- if you have any questions just shout.
My tree went up yesterday so I'm fierce festive π ππ

So, this quote from A.A. Milne is very popular on Polly Rabbit (scroll to see her) and this Imagination print (scroll again π) with a quote from Albert Einstein is also very popular.
But a customer asked for a print that combined the two, so meet Arthur - (my current favourite boy name . I'm not allowed any more dogs, so I had to use it somehow! π)
Arthur will be on my shop this evening, just in time for the Green Friday discount ( have a look at my previous post for details)
π welcome to the Polly Dolly family Arthur! π
Well, it's that time of year again....
π GREEN FRIDAY π
I hope this little discount helps when you are choosing gifts for your friends and family- or maybe just being good to yourself!
π 10% off in my shop, link in bio. π

Totally not art related but a 'real life's post.....
25 years ago today I was in Tralee hospital in labour with my son. It was a beautiful day with snow on the mountains.
I decided at exactly this time, 9.25sm , that I could cope with the pain for one more hour ( I'm not sure what my plan was after that!)
In very obliging fashion Zachary was born at 9.50am. Very calm and gentle, just as he has been all for all of his years.
Today is also a beautifully sunny, cold day.
I'm so proud to be his mum, I love you squillions. Xxxxxπ₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°xxxxx
Here's a little look at all the deliveries that arrived today. It might give you some ideas for Christmas gifts and stocking fillers.
π Even though it's still November I've gone fully festive!! ππ
π
I will update my online shop today ( link in bio) and then some of these things will be going to @wilddesignireland and @susan_herlihy_ceramics
Thank you so, so much for all the 'Miss Polly and the Crocodile ' orders, I'm so chuffed that I've had to order more from the publisher. π
My book can now be found at @dubraybooks. They have a new shop @dundrumtc .... just in case you need a stocking filler or two πππ
Delighted that the Pollies are now part of @susan_herlihy_ceramics
In Midleton, co. Cork.

I haven't painted in ages, but yesterday this little one appeared and gave me an idea. π₯°
Stay tuned to see her when she's finished.
Name suggestions welcome! β€
Since it's a bit dreary this afternoon, I thought I'd read a little bit of 'Miss Polly and the Crocodile ' for you.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, get to cosy up and eat cake.
