Ooooooh dear friend!!!!!
I am soooo extremely excited about this post!!! Because it is about my little book with the flower people!!!! The final title of the book is Blossom Buddies, I think that it is a great title (given by the editors :)
The book is coming out in April and I can't wait to see it in person!
Something that makes me craaaaaazy excited and honored is that my favorite store in the world: ANTHROPOLOGIE , has already ordered a number of copies for distribution!!!! Isn't that wonderful?!!!! I almost had a heart attack when I found out about it!!!!
I have placed a picture of the book on the left sidebar of this blog; by clicking on it you will be able to learn more details about Blossom Buddies, you will also see a few pictures of the characters in it and I have also place a link to Amazon, where you can pre-order the book. Yay!!!
Lots of love!!!
From your super happy friend Elsita, that never ever thought that she was going to have a librito published!!! Yay!!!!
:)
CONGRATULATIONS, LOTS OF CONGRATULATIONS, HAPPY CONGRATULATIONS, LOVING CONGRATULATIONS, LAUGHING CONGRATULATIONS, ENCOURAGING CONGRATULATIONS.
You deserve all the CONGRATULATIONS. Enjoy this momentum, it is very SPECIAL.
All the Danish Congratulations
Elizabeth

I will also show my children the link and drop a big hint about my birthday coming up in April. It looks so lovely and that is my favorite publisher. Hugs and thanks for showing the world that amazing things can happen when you play with nature.

I'm so excited for you and for all of us!!! Your flower petal people were my first introduction to you last year. The beauty and tenderness of your relationship with Diego captivated me...compelled me...drew me in...with these little fairies leading the way. Then I discovered all of your other mind-blowing creativity and awe-inspiring gifts. Needless to say, I will be ordering your first lovely book. Congratulations!

Posted by: Jamie Watson | March 02, 2009 at 10:50 PM
querida elsita, lo acabo de comprar a The Book Depository así que con un poco de suerte en poco más de un mes lo tengo en mi casa. La verdad es ¿cómo resistirme a tu obra y encima a las flores?
hace unas semanas descubrí a alguien quien quizás se dejó inspirar, digo quizás, a mi me cuesta mucho evitar que mis cosas se parezcan a otras, es difícil tratándose de ganchillo pero lo intento con tesón, aún así no sé. Por eso no sé que decir, échale un vistazo, sus creaciones son muy lindas http://www.flickr.com/photos/10fingers/ hay que tener en cuenta que no obtiene beneficio económico y utiliza dibujo. Enhorabuena por tu libro, ten por seguro que presumiré de él en mi blog, un gran beso
Posted by: olivia_p | March 03, 2009 at 01:14 AM
quería decir que se inspiró ella, que se dejó llevar, me imagino que me has entendido por lo que digo después, disculpa si no me he expresado bien
Posted by: olivia_p | March 03, 2009 at 02:53 AM
Beautiful and exciting and wonderful news - you deserve all this and more...................
YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!
Posted by: mary | March 03, 2009 at 03:05 AM
Congratulations Elsa! I knew you would publish a book. I love Anthropologie too and live right around the corner from one so I will go and check it out! Very exciting. I think this is the beginning of other book adventures for you. I keep thinking children's book...Maybe someday. For now I will enjoy this first publication of yours. Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us always. Hugs :)))
Posted by: Beverly LoPinto | March 03, 2009 at 11:39 AM
Oh how wonderful! Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see it in person, at Anthropologie no less! I love the title, it makes me smile, as do your floral friends.
Posted by: Erin | March 03, 2009 at 01:03 PM
Great news indeed! Anthropology carries the best books ever. They are very selective; this is a huge honor you've been bestowed.
Congratulations on a beautiful book that will inspire many.
