We’ve got another fantastic art giveaway for you guys! This one is brought to you by the very, very talented Sarah Dyer. I love Sarah. She sent us a package many months ago that included two of her AMAZING books. Marlowe asks to read her books constantly especially Batty. She loves pulling the book out of my hand and flipping it upside down, heh. Sarah is an illustrating mama over in the UK. Her work is beautiful, her life is beautiful, and her blog is beautiful (I love Stanley. He has the most pinchable cheeks of any baby). If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend you check her blog out, especially her illustration section. So much inspiration! Sarah kindly sent Marlowe a beautiful illustration for her second birthday and I cannot wait to hang it up in our new home 🙂 It’s so sweet to have a such nice artwork of Marlowe and Jer-bear. I love them both oh so much.
