This Golden-Breasted Starling is dressed to the nines with a classy top hat and a monocle! Looking quite sinister, this big guy is taking no nonsense! Add to that the dark and lustrous deeply saturated colors, this card is incredibly unusual. It's perfect for fans of anachronistic and ironic humor, contrasting the beautifully rendered bird with the contrasting element of being dressed up, making a really fun character!

I'm a returning customer. My first order was specifically for myself, while this second order was for others. I enjoyed browsing through all the card designs and really appreciate the single card options. It allowed me to buy three different cards for three very different individuals. Once again, the cards arrived in perfect condition, and they look even lovelier in person. This is a wonderful shop for unique cards, stationary, and more!

I purchased two of the "2025 Illustrated Teacups Flip Art Calendar, 7x10"". This calendar is soooo pretty. I like that it is smaller than "normal" calendars. The calendar months/initials of the days of the week, and dates are easy to read. But the beautiful teacups, of course, take center stage. The quality of the printing is beautiful. On the back of the calendar is a story behind the teacups that were used for the art. I used to collect teacups and teapots, I had waaayyy too many. This calendar is a perfect replacement. I purchased two, one is going to a close tea-loving friend for her birthday/recent retirement; and the other one I'm keeping for my self. ♥♥

I purchased a set of waterfall cards from Coreyartus Imagery, but I don’t plan to use them as greetings; I actually purchased them to use in my personal meditation practice. When I saw Corey’s waterfall scenes, I fell in love with their ability to transport me into a different world. They’re even more beautiful in person. I’m really pleased with this purchase as well as the great customer service and thoughtful packaging by Corey. Such a wonderful shop to buy from!
