Finally - a Whole Day to Do What I Love!

I Love Coffee - No Really!

I picked my favorite coffee cup up to wash it, and look!!!!

I had just been to lunch and completed this page - depicting of all things, HEARTS!  Only to return to the office and find my love for coffee displayed as a coffee stain!  How amazing is that!



My Faithful Readers

Not feeling up to sketching or blogging lately, I give you instead a view of my zinnias growing in my garden adn some recent auction purchases, arranged for sketching later.  Blessings, dear readers.

Not Your Typical...but a very wonderful Fourth of July Weekend

 My July 4th weekend trip: visiting a friend and her husband...Oh what a wonderful time!

Colored pencil sketches done while traveling in her "bookmobile" to bookshops and a book fair. The scenery was absolutely Gorgeous!!!

My friend thought my little tin of very short pencils was simply ingenious, so I must share it here.  It's a credit card tin I bought at a dept store and turned into a pencil case.  Inside are almost-used-up Prismacolor pencils that fit perfectly!  And the tin fits perfectly in my purse!

And lastly, I must share my huge selection of book treasures that I brought home with me.  This is not even all of them! I also got first editions of Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place and Rosamunde Pilcher's Flowers in the Rain and Other Stories!  Splendid weekend!  Happy Fourth of July everyone!
