Spiral bound memory notebook – just beautiful…so simple, so gentle, so nice….
What a wonderfull memory book! I would love to use it en write down the memory’s for my daughter when she is elder.
The little toadstool babies really tickled me. I’m sure my daughter would love to tuck them in her pockets. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the acorn family. So gentle and serene. It would be beautiful on a fall nature table which is just around the corner!
I do love Marie’s work, what a wonderful opportunity to own or gift this lovely journal. I do love her memory books, especially ones with rainbows.
Thank you for the opportunity x
I love the Mother Earth and the Babies, but I have to admit to often sighing in wonder at your creations. I love the fact too that I frequently see your comments on other peoples’ creations as I check out the craft happenings around the blog traps. Thankyou for the generosity of doing a give away.
They are all so beautiful that itu00B4s almost impossible to deside.
I love everything! But I especially love the circular needle felted tree wall hanging. Just beautiful. Like the tree of life.
Marie you are so talented! I loved the Softearth Boy in a boat and Mother Earth.
Love Marie’s site. The glitter circle fairy caught my eye, but also the babies in baskets, the owl peeking out of the tree…..OK, I like everything. Just feeling non-committal.
I absolutely love the round tree picture–that would be my favorite. There are other things there too like the moonchild and the bluebell children. I might have to get Thumbalina one of these days, I confess. 🙂
I love I love the Mother Earth and the Babies and they all are gorgeous. I would like to write my memories to this beautiful notebook and thank you so much the for chance.
I love the Awake, Awake wall hanging. What a lovely collection of beautiful pieces!

Everything on Marie’s site is adorable, but I think my daughter would have a ton of fun with the toadstool Mother and Children right now. What wonderful talent and I would love to win the memory book for a certain little girl I know…thank you for the opportunity. Good luck to all!
I am having a hard time choosing between the nativity set and the angel bringing new life! Such lovely work, and what beautiful subjects she chooses!
I must admit my favourite was the Earth Mother and babies. It’s winter here in Tasmania at the moment and it reminded me of how we are in hibernation mode at the moment and the joy we feel when Spring arrives again. Definitely going to have to get that for our seasonal table!
Marie’s work is simply magical and she is the absolute sweetest! I have been eyeing the spring, Seeds of Life fairies for a while. They are gorgeous!
I love the softearth lady busy in the garden, I can feel the sun on her shoulders.
All of the notebooks are beautiful, but I love the one with the big yellow flower on the front.
Those pumpkins always make me long for autumn… I also love the toadstool forest mother and babies.
I love this owl! Everything is beautiful!
I love the green Thumbelina on a waterlily.
You have so many wonderful items in your Etsy shop but what caught my eye today was the pumpkins. Maybe because our weather here has been so rainy and I just want a beautiful autumn day with lots of pumpkins.
I love “Under the Rainbow”. Thanks for the chance to win!
This is beautiful!

Every time I look at Marie’s creations, I think how wonderful they are. I particularly like the crystal gnomes and the notebooks are really terrific too and would inspire one to start writing or drawing in one of them. Thanks for the opportunity and best wishes from Tasmania.
Stunning, just stunning! My favorite items form her ETSY shop are the “Three Babies in Baskets – softearthart”. So adorable!
Everything is lovely! The 3 little BlueBell Children caught my eye, but I suspect, like you, that might change ea. time I go to her shop. lol.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh oh oh, they are all so beautiful!! I’m in love with them all but I especially like Mother Earth and her tiny babies….. and those little crystal gnomes come a very close second! Marie is one very talented lady.
The owl needlework is awfully charming, but I can think of so many things to do with the felted pumpkins! More and more I’m thinking I, too, need to take up this particular craft…
thank you marie, i always love every single thing that you create. x
Hello Marie. I am Vellamo and I live in Finland. I am seven years old. I love all your work but my favourite is the notebook with a picture of an autumn tree.i
All of your craft is absolutely magical! An item that particularyl spoke to me was your Christening work. Pure magic!
love all but my fav is boy in a boat, adorable!! Have a 4 month old grandson who brings joy to my heart.
All of her things are great…I especially like the book with the angel on the moon and the gnomes are adorable too!
I have one of her bird mobiles, and out of all the things she has, I adore it the most, it makes me happy and brings such smiles. I also love her pretty fairy dolls like the one on this book.
All of her creations are just beautiful and very cute. But I believe that my favorite one is the nativity set.
I love her creations – right now, the most favorite one are toadstool gnomes – so simple and so sweet!
I really love the soft, etheric feel to Marie’s creations. It’s hard to say which is my favorite, but I suppose if I have to choose one, it would be the Lady Working in the Garden.To me it really transmits the spiritual essence of working the land.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Heather
All of the creations are beautiful!
My favorites are Butterly Dreaming Pink Butterfly child and Spring The seed of Life and Delightful and everything on Marie’s site is so wonderful! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Wow is this a difficult one to choose just one thing from! I love the “Three Little Bluebell Children” and the “Babies in Baskets” are adorable too! I’d love to be able to felt.
I’m always drawn to nativities and hers is spectacular. The Koru angel is pretty terrific, too.
Thatnis just lovely. How did I iss her bluebird of happiness? I will go check that out
My favorite is the Little Poppy Child with Notebook. How sweet to have a little companion to go with your journal!!!
