It's been a fabulous year, more so than I could ever have imagined, and now it's my turn to give a little something back. For the next week only, my whole<a href="http://www.driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/"> Etsy store</a> is on sale! 20% off every print, every design and every colour. All you need to do is enter the code NOVEMBER2011 at checkout and your discount will be automatically applied - it's that easy. What's more, all prints will soon be available in two standard sizes - the usual 8x10, as well as 11x14 or approx A4 and A3). So if you've been thinking of buying some new artwork, now's the time!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Oh, and did I mention there are a few brand-spankin' new prints to choose from?
