Momma Valentine

~inspired by Saarinen's Womb Chair and artwork by Robert Indiana~

This is for one of my favorite Valentines in the whole world. My Momma.
Recently she was advised by her cardiologist to take a few "heart health"
tests and passed them all! Of course, I knew she would. She has the most
generous heart and continues to make birthdays, Christmas, even the
days in between, so extra special. Her heart is so big she actually
has a GIFT ROOM (!) completely dedicated to ribbons and bows and
surprises for those she loves more than words could say.

a few weekend notes (with some xoxo)

Sorry for the slow addition of pics on Hunters and Gatherers. Our new goal is to put one up a week, hopefully Sundays. Check out the latest additions, and then look for a collection of Ghost Chairs next week! And keep sending your photos!  We'd love to see YOUR collection!

Come join us on Joie de Vivre's new Facebook page! We’ll post new paintings there, as well as collector’s photos, and maybe a spectacular Louisiana swamp sunset once in a while.

Rumor has it (okay, so it’s true, not just a rumor) that some servers have us tagged as spam. Not been getting the emails? Check your junk folder.

That’s it! Have a lovely Valentine’s week.
