The Painted Octopus

Yes, I'm still in Pennsylvania and hope to return next Saturday! I am beyond grateful to report my dad made it through emergency surgery, has been recovering nicely and actually celebrated his 95th birthday yesterday! We sure could not ask for more.

Well, I am still in Pennsylvania. On a walk today I was delighted to see these peonies, which is my favorite flower I used to grow when I lived in Virginia.

I'm have to admit my absolute favorite client is a mommy to be! I am so proud to share this photo of a beautiful mommy in her nursery with the changing table/ dresser I was honored to provide ❤️
Tomorrow "Stevie Lynn" will be making her glorious appearance in the world. Keep mamma in your prayers !

I will be suspending operations for a bit while I go to Pa. My dad had an emergency surgery and will need a little bit of time to recover so I want to go help out. I'll have four pieces available and will be describing them in detail in the next day or so. Jeff will be here to meet my buyers while I'm out of town. He's quite competent and helpful. ❤️
