Happy Valentine's Day


We were in Portland last weekend and this silly window display caught my eye. It's amazing how expressive the mannequins are!
 



And... while we were there this is the treasure I acquired. It's a 1970's Smith-Corona ELECTRIC typewriter in mint condition. It is very heavy and oh so beautiful. I thought I was in love with our rice cooker, but I have fickley (is that even a word?) gone to the typewriter side. It makes a very loud typing sound and the nicest hum from the electric. I have already written a couple letters and they are on their way. Are you drooling anyone? Do you want a letter from me? Maybe a bad poem? If you do leave your address  and a comment and I'll send you some snail mail.

Shirley questions her life...


This is Shirley Partridge questioning her life...

on another note, I'm going to teach a class this spring on artist process. It's for anyone who has ever said, "oh I wish I could make art" or "I want to, but I just have no -------(fill in the blank)". I'm thinking a 4 week class, 2 hours each week. I know I can get most anyone motivated and on track. It's a talent I have!
