Agh, many a drowned rat has been given shelter from the proverbial storm. Long may that continue (not the storm, obv. The shelter and the open arms! 😋)

Makes you wonder what went wrong with the eejits protesting about immigrants… 🙄🤐👀

God bless her - I’d never seen this before, and for some reason (she wasn’t wrong, let’s be honest) I am absolutely howling here…

Think this going to be looping all day now.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints
