At Altered Art Addicts, the paper arts store my daughter and I own, we sell canvas kits from Quick Quotes. We've had these particular kits on the shelf for too long and I have wondered why they're not selling, since I think they're delightful. I decided we needed a sample so folks can see the possibilities. My daughter also has a birthday sneaking up on us, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone.
Grandma's life on earth ended 30 years ago this month. I've always loved both of these photos of her. In the small one she's sitting in a car and likely in her mid-twenties. I wish I knew what the ribbon on her label says, but my best guess is that it was taken at a county fair. In the larger photo she looks the way I remember her. I can still feel the warmth of her smile.
So, Grandma, we're going to have you hanging on the wall in the store. I think you'll like it here.
I honor two wonderful women, my daughter Kathy, and my grandmother, Eva Lyons Shearer. Thank you both for the encouragement and love!
