Hello everyone,

It's Mary here, writing to you just to talk about my email newsletter.

My email marketing service provider has been retired. Annoying yes, but it gives me a chance to learn something new - and maybe better. I've never like the term 'email marketing'. It's my aim to provide something more/different than that. After all, I'm not a retailer; I'm an artist. (Yeah, maybe I have to sell some things to keep myself afloat, but, well, you know.)

After a little bit of research, I've decided to try out Buttondown, a very basic newsletter service. And this is my first attempt at it! Please let me know if there are any issues on your end.

Some things to note -

1. This is a good time to update your preferences. If you no longer wish to receive emails from me, please unsubscribe with the link below. No hard feelings! (Okay, I may be a little sad to see you go, but I'll understand. We all change. :)

2. I may have inadvertently transferred your email to the new service. If so, my apologies. If you unsubscribed previously, please re-unsubscribe.

3. On the other hand, if you know someone who would enjoy my updates, please share with them!
