Finally.<br />
You have all been just charming with your responses, and I do apologize for not declaring the giveaway winner sooner. Tenets here at Summer House habe been sniffley and snuffly and things have been crazy. Two little kiddos indoors for a couple of weeks in a lovely, but very tiny house do not make for a most productive me. <br />
<br />
But, enough with the excuses, here is our winner!<br />
Mrs. B!<br />

<br />
Email me with your shipping information Mrs. B and we'll send Trot on his way home!<br />
I want to thank you every one of your for your feedback about Trafalgar's Square. Your comments have helped immensely, and I'm excited to show you the results. Some fantastic changes and additions are coming in the very near future, I'll keep you posted!Kit Chasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16304480802992149521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087654700983606531.post-52181048671095756322011-02-22T10:35:00.000-08:002011-03-03T08:38:41.703-08:00Identity Crisis and a GiveawayThings are really getting busy on Trafalgar's Square, we've finally made over 5,000 sales (thanks to you, you wonderful people!), and I think it might be time to expand a bit. We're going to be setting up a .com and we've been beating our heads over what to call it. I originally started Trafalgar's Square with a different art style in mind, but the paintings had a mind of their own and went off in a different direction. While I like the name, I'm thinking it just doesn't match the artwork. <br />
<br />
So, my question for you, my lovely readers, is this:<br />
<br />
Do we keep the name Trafalgar's Square, or call it LullaLoo instead? Or, do we come up with a completely new name? What's your honest opinion? <br />
<br />
As a way to say thank you for helping my shop out of its identity crisis, here's another giveaway.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This first group is from the CIRCUS TROUPE, a band of performing cuddle bugs.<br />
Here's Wellington...you can tell he's well loved.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwytxvgJiI/AAAAAAAAAZU/YvK-f7Z2oqE/s1600/circusbearmain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwytxvgJiI/AAAAAAAAAZU/YvK-f7Z2oqE/s320/circusbearmain.jpg" width="316" /></a> <br />
<br />
And this is Oliver, he's a winner. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwywQZZEWI/AAAAAAAAAZY/-9cfrSXwEu0/s1600/circusdog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwywQZZEWI/AAAAAAAAAZY/-9cfrSXwEu0/s320/circusdog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And Esmerelda, the beauty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwy2e2LiXI/AAAAAAAAAZg/VF-PlpyZ508/s1600/circuselephant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwy2e2LiXI/AAAAAAAAAZg/VF-PlpyZ508/s320/circuselephant.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And, my favorite of all (don't tell the others), Trot. He can tie a beautiful bow tie.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwy4_ANIaI/AAAAAAAAAZk/bkPD8EOg-cA/s1600/circusgiraffe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUwy4_ANIaI/AAAAAAAAAZk/bkPD8EOg-cA/s320/circusgiraffe.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Let's give them a hand, they live for applause. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
In keeping with the circus theme, I've created this happy trio:<br />

I am sooo sorry about this hugemoungous lapse on the blog, but we've been up to our ear lobes in all sorts of exciting stuff...<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">First off, I have to show you our new home!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUdgeJY7WDI/AAAAAAAAAY8/iC9jld56BRw/s1600/house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kM21cSncVcM/TUdgeJY7WDI/AAAAAAAAAY8/iC9jld56BRw/s400/house.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>That's right, we finally moved out of our teeny, tiny, grubby, grimy apartment into a real house. No more midnight treks across bleak parking lots (and no moochy neighbors stealing our parking space), no drafty stairwells with flights and flights of stairs to climb in the pouring rain, no doors slamming below us, or cigarette smoke drifting down on us from upper balconies. No kitchen in the front room, no neighbor's dog's messes on our welcome mat, no drama from the same-landing neighbor's knife fights, nope, nope, nope.<br />
<br />
And what's even better, this home comes with a yard, lots and lots of yard!<br />
<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We are so in love with the yard (and most especially, the porch), it doesn't matter that there's only one bathroom and bedroom for the four of us, that the kitchen cupboards smell like an antique store, or that the laundry room is out in the garage...<br />
<br />
<br />
So, that being said, what with Gwynnie's birthday, our car completely breaking down, Christmas, New Year's, the move, and our newly arrived flu bugs, things have been a leeetle bit crazy this past month. <br />
Thanks so much for being patient and hanging with the slow posts. Part of my New Year's resolution is to keep this baby updated at least twice a week. :)<br />
<br />
(as a side note, I've got lots of Valentine's goodies to post over the next few days, and another giveaway, as well as armfuls of new prints, so stay tuned) <br />
<br />

<br />
This little lady, for example, was based off my little girl, Gwynnie. I love the blissfully happy expression, and the way the woodland colored balloons set off her pretty grey frock.<br />

A whole truckload of life has been happening the past few months, but the most exciting thing by far just occured over the past 48 hours...<br />
Ready?<br />
Drumroll....<br />
I am going to have a ...<br />
BOOK!!!<br />
wait, amend that.<br />
<br />
THREE BOOKS!!!<br />
<br />
My wonderful agent, Teresa of Prospect Agency, and I just finalized a contract with Shauna Fay at Putnam Books For Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Books, for a series of three books about these little characters....<br />

My brain's been having nothing but synaptic misfiring the past two days, I simply can't believe it. It's like my birthday, Halloween, and Christmas all rolled into one, big, wonderful pumpkin coach. Wishes really do come true! <br />
I am so grateful to everyone who's made this possible, my Mummy and Pop (thank you so much for everything!), my husband, my little girls, Pearly and Gwyneth, Teresa, Shauna, and YOU!!!<br />
Thank you!!<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">One of them is an alphabet print, which was a lot of fun to make. So much so, that I'll be creating a whole series of alphabet prints with a huge menagerie of wildlife, and I can't wait to get started. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Believe it or not, I'm still alive and painting.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I'm happy to introduce a new handful of paintings for the shop. "Lion Boy" will be available in this shop in a variety of hair colors, and "Bubbles" is available as a set of prints. Note: there are many, many more paintings I will be adding to the shop over this week and the next.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
