Dear Sweet Charlie
On November 21st I lost my dear little Charlie. Our terrific veterinarian, Dr. Tammy Lons, did so much to help him....she believes he died of cancer. Jerry got Charlie for me 8 1/2 years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer. Through all of my surgeries Charlie always gave me comfort. We still have darling Eloise who is a sweetie and even more spoiled than ever.
In Memory of Charlie
"Good night, sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"
- William Shakespeare
Nancy (N.A.) Noel, Artist
In November, I traveled to Zionsville, Indiana, to meet Nancy Noel at her gallery, "The Sanctuary." If you ever get a chance to visit you will fall in love with her gallery and experience the unique peacefulness of the setting. It is not only for those who appreciate art, it is for anyone who appreciates life.
I picked up many of her books and prints. Nancy was gracious enough to sign them all. As always, if you purchase one of her prints from me and have it framed, you are only charged the wholesale price of the print.
New Frames and Engraving
I have a new collection of moulding from Nurre Caxton and T.C Moulding to select from. We also now offer personalized mat and glass engraving to enhance and personalize your framed art work. Stop by to see samples.
My commitment is to always give my personal attention to your concerns, comments and requests.
