As I mentioned in my last post, the lovely <a href="http://blogs.news.com.au/couriermail/shopsmart/">Paddy Hintz</a> wrote an article in Saturday's Courier Mail newspaper, on my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-good-friend-martha-stewart.html">Martha Stewart Living feature</a>. Paddy has been wonderful since I started my blog and <a href="http://driftwoodinteriors.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>, and so supportive. Thank you Paddy, it's very much appreciated.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjadsdbBBMrRD5tQbm5WePeyxDaWUylYwdrDMHEnfyVZmoqlnRdujZTEf5YyjO38bas15mxDChCFqRrCz1GsT65h7cHw_8UzYGTEQtkuER_dezGVayx6vJDANjyDbVlw2yoEnQnPLN6XrM/s1600/courier+mail+article+19+march+2011hi+res+download+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjadsdbBBMrRD5tQbm5WePeyxDaWUylYwdrDMHEnfyVZmoqlnRdujZTEf5YyjO38bas15mxDChCFqRrCz1GsT65h7cHw_8UzYGTEQtkuER_dezGVayx6vJDANjyDbVlw2yoEnQnPLN6XrM/s640/courier+mail+article+19+march+2011hi+res+download+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">  </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">...couldn't figure out how to Photoshop myself out of the picture without losing the prints!!</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I must thank you all again for your many comments, emails and messages of support - to say it's been overwhelming is a huge understatement.

A big thank you must go to my wonderful family, as it's been all hands on deck to help print, pack and post orders. My mum has even been cooking dinner for us (I think she's concerned the kids may end up with scurvy if she doesn't!).

A thank you update

I must add another thank you to my list this week. Paddy Hintz is a journalist at The Courier Mail newspaper here in Brisbane, and also writes a blog called <a href="http://blogs.news.com.au/couriermail/shopsmart/">Shop Smart</a>. It just so happens that Paddy found me via <a href="http://tranquiltownhouse.blogspot.com/">Kerry</a>, and we got to chatting about blogging, facebook and the like. Well, she was kind enough to post about my sale on her blog today, so I'd like to add a big thank you to her as well.<br /><br />Just follow the links and you'll find her <a href="http://blogs.news.com.au/couriermail/shopsmart/index.php/couriermail/comments/20_per_cent_off_this_gorgeousness_with_a_capital_g/">blog</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/shopsmartblog">Facebook page</a>.
