Firstly, thank you so much for showing up to the From Colombia, with love launch last week! It meant so much to have your support via web traffic, email replies and social media comments, likes and re-posts.
The 11 pieces in the original flower painting collection are still available to purchase:

I am also saddened and disappointed by the overturning of abortion protection by the constitution in the USA recently. I believe in the freedom of human reproduction rights for choice and safety.
Now onto some exciting new product news….
There are two product launches to share with you in this email:
1. From Colombia, with love - new products
2. Peony Collection 2022
LAUNCHING 14 JULY
FROM COLOMBIA, WITH LOVE
Expanding the collection
I have a lot of products arriving on the website this month, and am growing beyond art!
I am now going to introduce you to beautifully hand-woven Colombian homeware and bags.
These items are from my rich experiences in Colombia, where I was so lucky to travel and meet local artisans who have been weaving or carving for generations.
Like a chef who feels that food is a connection to their home, for me it has always been artisanal goods (or artesanias in Spanish), that connects to me to my Colombian side.
Where did you get that from? Is a question that I have been asked frequently, and I have always championed the beauty, skill, craft and techniques from Colombia that make the rich cultural identity beyond the stereotypical surface.
I want to start using my platform to share these crafts and techniques with you while adding a beautiful touch of nature to your home.
So, I am excited to preview with you below, the upcoming product launches available to purchase on the website later this month:
The original painting collection will be available as high quality, fine art giclée prints. I've had so many enquiries into this already, and will be offering the complete 11 piece collection available in two different sizes (A4 and A3) to pre-order when they launch this month.
Peony season is here!
Original paintings of your favourite flower.
This collection imbues the summer moments: long days, lazy moments, and sweet smelling air with the hum of bees.
I have also started painting peonies again in the studio, and I'm in love!
I am releasing them a bit differently this year.
I am releasing the work weekly on Thursdays 8pm (UK time) to Peony Fan Club mailing list subscribers only for the first 24hrs.
Lastly - I'm just sneaking it in here - I've had my first website review!! And it's glowing from a repeat customer. If you do purchase something from the shop, please do leave a review as it really helps to build trust with online shopping.
"Absolutely adore Freny’s art.
This was a gift for a friend who admired my peony bauble.
Super quick delivery and a really special, unique gift."
That's everything from me. I have been busy! I am going to be updating you on the products - who made them, how they were made and the product details in the coming days and weeks.
I am so happy that I am able to combine my passions with my business and have been working hard to be able to bring these items to the shop.
I am really, truly thrilled by what I am able to offer you!
