Busman’s Holiday?
Now you would think that being part of Papernation would mean that I’d seen enough of gorgeous cards by the time the weekend arrives, but that’s often not the case. Today, we went on a gorgeous walk through Brandon Hill park in Bristol, and then on home via the fledgling Bristol Art Market. That’s where I picked up a fabulous greeting card featuring this beautiful illustration of a tin of golden syrup. The artist, Georgina Luck, is based in the wonderful Jamaica Road Artists Studios, and I’ve seen her work there too. I could be very tempted to buy a print one day, but for now, this lovely card will suffice – it’ll go on the Wall of Loveliness at work (which is where we stick all the lovely things we come across that inspire and entertain).
You can see more of Georgina Luck’s art here.
The next card I bought was from a chap who takes photos using a Victorian camera on a tripod, then colours them by hand. All his photos were shots of Bristol landmarks, and the one I chose shows a boat down on Bristol’s Floating Harbour. If you look closely, you can spot the SS Great Britain in the background. The card is perhaps slightly touristy, but I like it nonetheless!

These are great! I’m quite partial to Golden Syrup and the smashing tins – we don’t have Lyle’s in Australia so when I moved here I was very excited at how adorable they are.
I also like the idea of a wall of loveliness! I must start one up at home.

I absolutely love the Golden Syrup tin card, I’d have bought it too, in a heartbeat. I like the other card too, I wouldn’t have realised the basis is a photograph if you hadn’t mentioned it. Sounds like a great place for a day out.
