Ha Ha Well the little fish painting I fell in love with by Christine in Canada has arrived in my mailbox today.
I enjoy her little mini paintings and I think this size is such a good idea. She has a site on Ebay so I check her paintings that are for sale once in awhile. Christine's fish painting is perfect for our mantle and lake house and I totally fell in love with this one too.
When I was trying to paint a couple years ago, I painted a little sailboat. I found these mini easels online for display.
I miss painting sometimes, especially with the watercolors. I had gotten frustrated with it as I am not all that good with paints but watching friend Cathy learn I may get motivated to try again soon. My goal was to be able to paint one of our awesome sunrises here on the lake.

I have all sorts of items on our mantel-homemade pottery pieces, wood burning, my collection of gnomes and a couple of vintage items
We had rain all day today 'til just now-3 pm-more on the way for a few days. I had put my bottle "greenhouses" back out yesterday afternoon so now they got a really good soaking. I just placed them down on the brick walkway next to the house so shouldn't get much more rain inside the bottles. Better for them to be outdoors. The ornamental grass I purchased was supposed to arrive today but looks like it is still in Kansas City
Stay safe all of you in this storm's path moving towards the east-there will a lot of flooding with this one.
