Mrs. Mary's Luncheon

"Mrs. Mary's Luncheon"

$55.00"

Last fall we found some great old scrapbooks at an estate sale. One of them was from a Women's Civic Club from the 1920's...it includes all the handwritten programs, handpainted placecards for every luncheon, printed invitations, the guest lists....Charming ephemera!

I have included some of this on my newest painting. Notice how well the wax monogram has held up...and to think when I found this scrapbook, it was outside, at the bottom of a box, in the drizzle rain and it was at the most 20 degrees!

This painting little work of art is available on my website now. If you haven't visited...it's up and running...wayward son made it back to school and updated my site! Please stop by and visit....there's lots of art available and more arriving daily. Sign up for the mailing list while you are there and we will notify you as new pieces become available. We will be sending out Grand Opening Coupons for the month of September so sign up today!! (okay, enough shameful self promotion!)

Have a great Wednesday!!

Thank God for Saturday

I have spent my entire week focusing on my "other" job...my job as a nursing administrator.

We had a critical survey this week that lasted four days and boy was I stressed! To make things

worse, I woke up Monday morning, with flu symptoms that have lasted all week. When the survey was over on Thursday afternoon at 1:pm, I came home, put on my pajamas, climbed into bed and slept for an entire four hours. Then I woke up, ate a grilled cheese, watched a recorded Big Brother and went back to bed until 5am yesterday morning. I still feel achy and tired.

I had big plans for this weekend. I need to paint to stock my new website!

The lovely painting in the previous posting was to be the first piece of art on the site

but I sold her this week to a friend on Facebook. I SWEAR, I'm not swelling anything

else on E-bay, Facebook, or to friends until I get my Website up and running.

The site address is http://www.jacksonsquarestudios.com/. I'm working

with a great web designer who, I hope, is willing to listen to all of

my simple demands and turn them in to a GREAT website!

I'll keep you updated of the launch date.
