I never thought I'd be making another "sold" post so soon! It's really lovely to wake up, check my email, and find that Zazzle notification :D Makes me dance around my room like a total nutter.
So my first sale notification was to tell me that someone had bought TEN of my latin phrase postcards! I am incredibly chuffed about this, as you can well imagine, including a Cicero one:
And then my second one was to tell me that someone really likes the ancient Egyptian god Anubis, because they bought three of these lovely hats!
So my November has been off to a cracking start! Thank you to my lovely buyers, I hope everyone enjoys their purchases!

Etsy Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday one and all! I hope your week is going well so far, time to start making those weekend plans!
Today we dive head first in to ancient Rome! The Romans, as we all know, were a polytheistic society and as a result had dozens of gods and goddesses. Some of them are very well known, such as Jupiter and Juno, and some were probably known only to people on area of Italy. Today I bring to you one of the lesser known goddesses, Meditrina. There was a small festival, the Meditrinalia, celebrated in October in honour of the new wine that had been created that year. At some point someone realised that they needed a deity to go with this festival, so they added Meditrina.
And now someone on Etsy has drawn her and put her on a card!
I think this picture is great! I love way she’s been drawn with 1920’s-flapper hair and the colourful decoration around the figure. It was done by EmilyBalivet, who has lots of other gods and goddesses from various cultures in her shop. You can either buy greeting card sets, prints, or the original artwork! Definitely go have a look at her shop, her “Eros and Psyche” painting is also awesome.

Zazzle Monday!
Merry Monday morning to y’all!
My blog posts may not be so regular at the end of the week because I'm starting a new job on Thursday and I won't be around so much DX
So we return, once again, to the world of ancient Egypt. I’m fairly sure that everyone assumes the ancient world was rather plain and stone coloured because all the statues and other things that have survived had no colourful decoration on them. But in reality it’s simply a case that the paint has worn off over the centuries, and the plain items we see were once covered in vibrant reds, blues and yellows.
So this week I’ve picked a fantastic mousemat that shows off the colour of ancient Egypt!
This mousemat has a picture of the Eye of Horus on it in blues, reds and greens, and I love the “torn papyrus” edging used as well. This is from the lovely shop PrintedGifts, and 25% of the money they get from sales is donated to Wildlife Direct so you get a nice product and you help charity!

An Etsy highlight!
Blog Post 3
Hello everyone! Today is an Etsy day! And today, for your delight and amusement, I bring you the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, Ra.
But this isn’t just Ra on any old artefact, or his picture on some random postcard. No, this is something that an Egyptologist, archaeologist, or any another –ologist would be proud to have in their home! Even if their children are embarrassed and have to apologise to their friends.
Yes, it is...Ra on a shower curtain!
I think every bathroom would be greatly improved if they had Ra on their shower curtain. It’s a pretty unique thing to have as well, most people go for some sort of water-based pattern, or just a plain colour, but this is something different. This curtain can be found in the shop of eternalart, and she also has Thoth, a Mycenaean hedgehog and an ancient Greek helmet, there’s something for every Classicist!
