Turquoise Teacup with Rainier Cherries

Another vintage teacup found on a fun day out "antiquing" with my friend Kim. We always find a few treasures, and I couldn't leave this little teacup behind.

I hope your week is off to a great beginning!

Blessings

Private Collection

Seeing one year draw to a close and a new one begin always leaves me feeling introspective. 2013 was a bittersweet year for our family, but our blessings were abundant. For me, you're among those blessings, and I am very thankful. I appreciate your kind encouragement and look forward to seeing all 2014 brings.

Wishing you a very blessed and happy 2014!

Tea and Thunderstorms (Sold)

Private Collection

Cozy and calm in my studio this afternoon but very stormy outside.  We (Rodeo and I) spent a little quality time in our storm shelter.  Mark came home and saved the day.  He is our hero.

The image is an accurate representation of the painting, but the background isn't a flat black. I just can't seem to capture the soft light change from left to right. I will try again tomorrow. Perhaps the morning light will be better?

Tea and Sunflowers

The sunflowers were purchased at the grocery store and have brightened the past few chilly days.  We've finally gotten a little snow in Texas and are so thankful.  I am hoping for more before winter's end.

I hope you're having a great weekend.  Stay warm!
