Are your walls looking a little lonely and in need of some Odd Spirits? Maybe you already have spirits on your walls, but they could use a friend, I bet! Luckily @tkingfisher.com has lots of friends just for you at Topa.to/Redwombat! 👻 🌕 Topa.to/collections/red-wombat/products/rw-oddspirits 🌕
A graphic of Ursula Vernon's paintings featuring a goat rabbit creature with a golden halo around it. In the first one it is holding a yellow flowered stem and gestures its other arm out to the side. In the second painting it is pulling the skin around its eyes as one leg is bent upwards. The text on the graphic reads "odd spirit prints by Ursula Vernon".Two more paintings by Ursual. One is of a dog like creature with a leather hat on that covers its eyes, and green electric energy radiates from it. It also radiates from its paws. The second painting is of an owl like creature wearing a necklace and a robe, holding a stick with a feather dangling from it. A yellow halo is behind her head.The last piece of art from Ursula, featuring a white rabbit creature (wearing a hood, a shirt, gloves, and a skirt) standing in a lush field of bushes and flowers looking up at the moon.

Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".
