Time to shop for that someone special.

 Valentines Day is just around the corner. Cotton Depot in Monroe is having a Valentine's Open House on Saturday Feburday 13th. We will have a coffee bar set up and some yummy chocolate treats to go along with it. What a perfect time to bring your better half in and show him some of the vintage items you have been wanting. There are so many wonderful ideas for this holiday. Maybe your Grandmother would like a vintage hanky, or add to someones special collection. There are so many beautiful vintage things to choose from, you might even pick something up for yourself.  We will be looking forward to seeing you on the 13th but feel free to stop in before. Everyday more great finds are added with so many dealers in this wonderful shop. While you are there take a close look at my booth (WHIMSY) because I have a great sale going on that you won't want to miss. Look for the Big Red Hearts. Have a wonderful Feburday and we will be looking forward to your visit.
WHIMSICAL HUGS

A few more of my paintings.

Here are a few more of my paintings. The 2 cats are my daughters. Lola is the grey one and Nismo is the black one. The horses were painted for my niece for her birthday. I think she has one more for me to paint and the bird I painted for my Mom for a gift because she had eye surgery last week. I am enjoying painting so much. I find it very relaxing. I am waiting for Lexi our Great Dane puppy to grow up so I can paint her.

Some of my FAVORITE purple things

Theses are some of my favorite things in my kitchen. Everyone knows that I love purple.

Paintings I have painted of my dogs

These are my Shih Tzu that I painted in art class. I have tried to paint flowers and bird but my love is painting pet portaits. From the top is Maggie, Lilly, then Hogan and Zoe. I will paint my new Great Dane Lexi when she gets a little older. Lucy our  first Great Dane is at the bottom. We lost her in 2008 to old age. She lived 11 years. We miss her deeply.

Our Little Angel Dewey

        This post is in memory of Dewey. He would have been 2 years old in April 2010. Dewey was the beautiful baby horse of my wonderful niece Holly. She is  Dr. Holly Breaux DVM. I have never seen a person that has the compassion and love for animals as her. Ever since Holly was a little girl she talked about dogs and horses. We knew that she would become a Vet one day. She now is a Dr. at an emergency clinic  here in GA. Holly and her one horse Fleck have been in many horse shows. She was looking forward to train  Dewey to do the same. All of her horses are Appaloosas. They are the ones with the spotted Rumps. The start of this new year wasn't a happy one for Holly as Dewey became very ill. I think she called it Dead Gut. Poor Holly had to make one of the hardest choices ever in her life. With her love and compassion to her beloved Dewey she had him put out of his pain. If you have a pet and have had to make this choice you know how hard it is. It is sad because Dewey had such a short life but as I told Holly he had the best life because of her love. Holly was very brave and is a strong young lady and I have so much respect for her. She means so much to me and I hope her pain heals fast. Please take one minute and say a little prayer for Holly and Dewey and the many other pet lovers out there that have gone through the same thing. Pray to give them strength. Animal lovers have a special kind of HEART and SOUL. I believe that if you are an animal lover you have the compassion for all living things. Just think of your pet dog who is like your child and how he will love you no matter what. We learn so much about LOVE from our animals. JUST THINK ABOUT IT! Give you pet a HUG today and say THANKS. I see Dewey now having a great time in the beautiful green pastures prancing around and having the time of his life.

Grosgrain Annie's Ribbonemporium at Lakewood 400

 My FRIEND JoAnn has a flare with ribbon. It's a must to visit her at Lakewood 400 in Buford. The 3rd weekend of every month.
                              

    It is so inviting to see all the beautiful colors of ribbon she has.  So as you walk into the building just turn right  and you can't miss her.

      Your eyes will be drawn to the beautiful colors and display of her ribbon.
