Hello friend and happy Friday. I have seen many back to school pictures and meet the teacher pictures circulating on social media lately. What an exciting time filled with anticipation, yet it can also be a nerve-wracking time for both kids and parents alike. There’s so much to prepare for, from shopping for school supplies to organizing new schedules. Praying for all you parents out there and kiddos to have an easy transition into school, embracing the new opportunities and friendships that await them, and finding joy even in the challenges. Remember, each new school year is a chance for growth and discovery!

Yesterday I met a lady at her picturesque farm, nestled among rolling hills where she has commissioned me to paint the stunning landscape and charming buildings that dot the property. After our engaging conversation about her love for the land, I made my way to a city nearby to explore an estate sale that had piqued my interest. Although it was a relatively small sale tucked away in a cozy neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised to uncover an eclectic assortment of intriguing goodies, including vintage decor and collectible items that told their own stories of the past. Each piece seemed to possess its own charm, sparking my creativity, and I am excited to show these wonderful finds at my booth, where they will surely attract the attention of fellow enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Don’t forget to DM me your name so I can choose one of you to have an original piece of art from me as a token of appreciation for reaching an incredible milestone of 5,000 views. I’m truly excited to celebrate this moment and give back to my amazing supporters in a meaningful way, so be sure to send me your name and stay tuned for the announcement!

As always I’m glad you’re here.

Best,

Amy
