A Blog To Check Out for Sure!



A few weeks ago, a "Comment" was left by a new reader!

 ....LOVE IT!........I love to receive comments and this one was from someone new!
I could not help but notice that Patricia also had a Blog.

I immediately went on to the Blog, PVE written by Patricia van Esshe.  I figured she had to be good, we shared the same name!

http://www.pvedesign.blogspot.com/

I loved her  Art and her Talent!    I dug further and realized that she sold pieces on Etsy.  That's the same site Erica uses for her Art.  

 http://www.etsy.com/shop/pveshop

Once there I found that I could have a "piece" at an affordable price!   She made note cards with sketches of the larger pieces.   I'm always looking for note cards and these were not only beautiful but.....affordable. I ordered the Florist Note cards.

 I wrote Patricia and told her that it was my FIRST Etsy order,  ever!  I also mentioned that I was going to Frame one of the cards......

In no time I heard back, ( I love that) , and Patricia was as excited as I was about what she referred to as my Virgin Etsy Order.

(I don't need to use Etsy to obtain Erica's work!  She's in the family....you know what I mean!)

The cards arrived in the mail yesterday!  I was amazed.  I ordered them Friday!  and this was regular mail!

MC got his FIRST PAY CHECK!!!!
THIS AFTERNOON WE WENT TO SAM'S CLUB AND BOUGHT A NEW CAMERA.

Just in time to show Patricia's Piece!


Oh I love it!







   Yesterday,  I pruned the bushes in the front yard.

Inexpensive "Flowers"?
I think the camera works pretty good and the pictures are much better than the old one.....  With a little practice they will only get better.


 MC has two projects in the garage.  As soon as one is finished, I will share.   Promise....but I need to get him in the Garage!

  2. I have seen her blog! Very, very talented girl. Love that you framed her card. I'm still an Esty virgin--but you might change that. Love that you got a new camera! Your arrangement is lovely. (Please disable the thing-y makes us have to write the screwy word and number. It always takes too long--especially if you get it wrong.)

  6. Patty - Thank-you for your first etsy order and for sharing (me) and my blog. How kind of you and so very thoughtful. I love the way you framed one of my cards too.
    I admire all you do and of course all you share each day. You can certainly add the photos you asked for to this post. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
