Just thought I'd show you

Hello and thanks for coming over

Hope you've had a fantastic week?
Thanks so much for the encouraging comments on our new furniture section.
 I've listed another Fabulous piece of furniture since, which you can probably see on my sidebar...I love this one!


It's been so, so, so cold and wet down here, I've had the flu, then was left with a horrible infected sore throat, finally gave in today and went to the Doctor....my Doctor is lovely, but nothing personal, I just don't like to visit her, unless it's absolutely necessary, are you like that too, I have a sort of phobia I think?


Anyway, decided to paint a largish canvas for our Market this Sunday
it's at
Mornington Racecourse and if you can, we'd love you to pop in and say Hi
you can go here for details


Where, was I?...
..yes the painting, loved, loved working on this one
as I said it is a larger size, 20 x 20" (51 x 51cm), I've used large brushes and kept it free and easy
 I felt the chippy pottery urn in the painting needed a little something....

I love the look of black stencilled anything's at the moment, thought I'd try it on my
 Pottery Urn
After a bit of hunting around I found my old metal stencil
I bought it from a Garage Sale years ago
 I think from an Apple Orchard in the Red Hill Area?
It was their Logo for branding the Apple crates....

Tony and I, over the years, have used it over and over again, mainly for rustic furniture.  Here it is, wanted again and used in my painting.


See you again soon!

Dear Gail....You NEVER cease to amaze me with your totally BEAUTIFUL paintings...
(jee I wish i could paint)...

Hope you are feeling better...my Mr Christain has been coughing ad nauseam & sent him off to the docs yesterday to finally get some antibotics..
(funny..his doc prescribes penicillin for kind of non existant pimples.BUT NOT so for a bronchial cough)...
so i got him into MY doctor..!! to FIX IT...

I am just sooooo sick of this weather...yes WE know it is winter BUT hey remember our 125 odd consecutive days of temps OVER 20 degrees?? bring them back...
BRING ON SPRING.....
Had enough of gloomy boring days......

although I must say I really DID HIT A MEAN wet tennis ball today...!!! LOVED IT..

take care...xxx andrea

I have a bldy head cold from hell, worst timing as today all i did was lie around feeling terrible and have so much to do..only 8 more sleeps till we move. Whoo hoo, see you soon, Mel xx

I hope that throat clears up soon Gail. It's no fun being sick in winter. I hope the market went well on the weekend and wasn't too cold for you.
