holiday cards...

the holidays are upon us. hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving, i am particularly grateful it rained last night...

one thing i love each holiday season is finding special holiday cards to send to my friends and family. i love the US postal service and sending paper cards, i don't do it enough these days.

we have a small, but lovely assortment of holiday cards this season...

thank you for the photos

dreams of tucson....

hello,

i have a special place in my heart for tucson, arizona. i lived there for only a couple of years, but they were important and memorable years.

there is nothing like the smell of tucson when it rains, the landscape, the creativity and i met some of my favorite people while i lived there.

i am happy to be carrying the delicate and special, Villarreal Ceramics, from tucson.

here is a peek...
