It's a Small World
It really is amazing how blogging brings together people from all over the world. I have met some amazing people thanks to my blog and the kindness of strangers continues to surprise me.
I think almost everyone in our blogging community knows about the artist Anne Harwell. She is one kind lady. A long time ago she painted my gilt chair in my lounge room which she calls Anna Spiro's Chair. She sells prints of it in her etsy store. Last year I received a package in the mail from Anne and inside was the original painting of my chair which she sent to me as a gift. That little painting now hangs on my cluster wall in our sitting room at home {as above} and I look at it all the time and remember her kindness.
Another artist we all know and love is Patricia van Essche who I had the pleasure of meeting in person in New York earlier this year. She too has painted a few of my vignettes in the past. I am yet to frame the original of the Staffordshire dogs she painted of mine which she sent me a while ago. I am planning on framing it soon and hanging it in my office at work. I will post pictures once I have hung it as it is beautiful.
I really think these ladies are so kind and so generous and I would like to thank them for their paintings which I love so much. You must check out their etsy stores here and here if you haven't already done so. I'm sure you won't leave empty handed!
