Focus On... Flapper Doodle!

For Halloween one year, I desperately wanted to be a flapper. I found the perfect fringed dress, I had a wig styled like a sleek bob, I was going to wear black tights and black heels and be super cute. And then, I got sick. And Halloween went out the window. I'm pretty sad I never got the chance to dress up as a flapper. Although, I suppose I could. Who needs holidays to celebrate? It's Friday? Sounds like Flapper-day to me! In celebration of Flapper-day, I'd love to share with you a very cute shop I found called Flapper Doodle. Kate, the artist behind these creations, has such a great style - whimsical, fun, irreverent and totally influenced by eras gone by. Check it out!

Mostly pen and ink and acrylic, because I know how to use them, but I love trying new mediums, too!

What made you decide to sell on etsy?

It was just serendipity, I found the site when I was looking for a crocheted hat a few years ago and set up shop on a whim!

Finish the sentences:

When it's cold outside...I'm happy!

When I'm hungry...I eat potatoes.

When I need a boost...I talk to my friends.
I wish I was/were...more dainty.

If I could give one gift to everyone I know, it would be...whatever makes them happy.

If I could have coffee with anyone, it would be...my internet friends that I haven't had the chance to meet yet.
