(that would be something my grandmother would say too.) :) I look forward to seeing your newest paintings as you blog. You are so stinkin' GOOD with texture -- very inspiring! Thank you also for the comment on my recent post. I'm hoping to get a few more paintings done from photos I took. Great idea about the bookstore. I have to get more on-the-ball with marketing and selling. (I'm thinking about joining DPW to start online). Anyway . . . great work . . . you get me motivated. :)Kara K.

And I enjoyed the story of the chair.<br /><br />One of my favorite stories involves a love seat I inherited from my mother. She was a little girl living in the country, and her mother bought the love seat from a lady who was a widow and moving away. My grandfather drove a wagon to get the love seat and Mother went with him. She told me that "like a kid, I sat in it all the way home". I think of that story every time I see the love seat.Virginia Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135585280436374598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-7795332086720782702011-07-11T07:53:27.871-05:002011-07-11T07:53:27.871-05:00It's beautiful, Carrie.
