That was a lot of boring and rage-inducing admin talk so here are some recent pictures of our fluffy princess to make up for it. 🐈

Happy #Caturday from the queen herself (this is her throne from Spring to Autumn). ✨

Today is "mowing day" (our landlady pays someone to mow our "lawn") so I took pictures of all the wildflowers before they get cut. 😭 We marked out a big zone which we always ask them not to mow for the wildlife but it still hurts (& she truly doesn't get it because it doesn't look "clean"). 🙃

A photo of Cerastium arvense (three white flowers in grass).

A photo of a carpet of Lamium purpureum.

New video on my YouTube channel! Spring Garden Ambience 🌳🐦‍⬛🌱 Morning Birds & Bees in my Garden 🎵 youtu.be/Cb5jmqS1QmQ I used to listen to this kind of videos with my noise-cancelling headphones all the time when we lived in our very noisy flat. Grateful to be able to hear this everyday now. 🐦‍⬛

I got a reply from Payhip - it's good news (for now). Not a lot of people know of or use Payhip but after using Squarespace & Shopify for years, I'm glad I switched to this platform (it's free if you pick the plan with a 5% transaction fee, it's UK-based, self-funded & not owned by billionaires).

A screenshot of an email reply from Payhip after I asked them if they were planning on implementing Agentic Storefronts:

"Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for reaching out! I completely understand your concerns. As far as I'm aware, we don't currently have any plans to implement or integrate agentic storefronts. If this is something that were to be considered in the future, we would make sure to take user feedback into account, including the option to opt out.
I hope that helps.
Many thanks."

Same. It truly is disheartening. @alternatehistories.bsky.social

A screenshot of a Bluesky thread by user Alternate Histories:

"Running a small business primarily on the internet has become more and more of a struggle over the past ten years, with every new change chipping away at your income, your soul, your very will to create and share art with the world.

Now GenAI, the very thing that tells me my art and worth are easily replicable, has access to all my work and can "recommend" my work to customers. All without my choosing or my permission.

As an artist, choosing where to sell and show your work is pretty much your only weapon. It's the only way you can keep some bit of your soul for yourself. When that is removed, well what's the fucking point.

And yes, I can take my work of Etsy and off Shopify and then go out of business but the point is that I shouldn't fucking have to. None of this is necessary, none of it helps anyone but billionaires, and I just...I don't know how to keep going with this work."

New (not so) comfy sleeping spot 📦🐾🌷

A photo of our beloved tabby cat Nutella (aka Choupette) sleeping in a cardboard box that is slightly too small for her - her head is squished against the side. The box is on a table. In the foreground, a blurry bouquet of orange and yellow tulips.

I've always loved packing orders but it's become a lot more fun since I stopped making candles! Making sure they were safe was sooo stressful. Packing flat items is so much more relaxing (and quicker too!). ✉️✂️🌸 Merci mille fois pour vos commandes ! 💛 charlottefriday.com/collection/boutique

A photo of a white hand (mine) holding a see-through glassine envelope with an illustrated floral card inside, topped with an illustrated thank you card (a swallow flying in a cloudy sky) held by pink floral washi tape and wrapped with a string of pink yarn with a bow on top. Behind it, a blurry background of a wooden desk covered in stickers, teabags and stamps.

A photo of a green envelope on a wooden desk, surrounded by stacks of stickers and cards. We can see the back of the envelope which is closed with green and white floral washi tape. A quote from Anne of Avonlea (in French) is printed at the bottom of the envelope in a cursive font: "C’est une des choses rassurantes de ce monde... nous sommes certains qu’il y aura toujours d’autres printemps."

A photo of a stack of brown and green envelopes, with a close-up on an illustrated label of a swallow flying in a blue sky. Text above says "Happy Mail" and under it "Merci de ne pas plier" (Please do not bend in French).
