mmmm.... just some ideas for you....

yes, it is that wonderful magical time of year where the snow is beginning to fall, the fire is warming the room and the smells from the kitchen are drifting and calling us to dinner....

it is the time when i attempt to find the most wonderful gift for my family and friends.... it takes a lot of thought, i'm not one to just go out and look and buy, i come up with an idea of something that i think they would love and that touches a personal part of their heart.... what is their favorite thing, where is their favorite place, what is their hobby and hearts content....are they fun, serious or a romantic...and so i search and search....

i wanted to share two of the artists that are carried with jen at earth angels (please see link to the left under places to shop)... all of her artists are just wonderful, but these are the two that i collect myself and share as gifts.... be sure to go over to her site and browse her other artists, i think you may find the perfect gift to give...

jennifer lanne.... whether it's her florals, landscapes, farm life, or my favorite new pieces, the prize pieces (above)... her paintings line my home and each and every time i see them, they make me feel... whether it's peace, a pick me up....or a smile...from tiny to wall claiming sizes, there is always a place to put jennifer's work...

kitty babendreier.... what can i say about her pieces? they are fun! kitty takes the smallest collected object and turns it into a story piece.... whether romantic, funny, hobby, or girlie.... her pieces throughout my home make me smile... i just cannot surround myself enough with these little story pieces finished with an old frame....
