Sweetwater Country Home

 My husband (Mr. B) and I moved to Virginia in 2005 and opened a store which sold classic country furniture. We named it Sweetwater Country Home. Our wooden furniture was handmade in Pennsylvannia; upholstery was handmade in North Carolina. The store was a lot of work but we enjoyed it. Nothing was more fun than re-arranging all the furniture! Well, maybe going shopping for accessories was as much fun. We would fill several carts full of baskets, silk flowers, lamps, lanterns and more. I wrote the email newsletter and took photos for the newsletter and our print ads, while Mr. B greeted customers and handled the business part. It was a great partnership.

Poster Art

 I love creating Poster Art. There are so many wonderful quotes to use. Sometimes I use my own quotes. Many ideas and the background possibilities are endless!

Flowers in the Market in Montreal

 My son, Ken and I drove from Boston to Montreal where we met my daughter and her husband. The highlights of the trip were the Montreal Botanical Garden and the Market. Cut flowers were present in abundance at the market and I went crazy with my camera. The is one of the bouquets I especially liked.

My Best Friend and an Art Work Named for Her!

 

This photo is named for my dear friend, Carla. We met at an art event in Willimantic CT about nine years  ago. We had our first visit and did not stop talking for two hours! When we shared information about our roots in Georgia, it cemented our friendship. She is the best friend a person could have!
