PINK SATURDAY




This is my first pink Saturday. It is hard to pick as I have allot a pink. I just finished the pillow wed. for pink Saturday

This is a small pillow 6x8. Here is how it came to be


My friend is well known artist here where I live . He went to Greece a few years ago and took this picture . He came home and painted it. He sold this painting at one of the art shows we did, to a lady that lived in Oregon. A few months ago she passed away and he received it back. He cleaned it up . He was going to Florida to find a gallery that would sell his work .Before he left I took a picture of it. He went to Augustina Florida and a gallery said they would sell his work so he left the painting ,now it is wanting a new home the painting is maybe 16x20 not to big or too small I think the name of the gallery is "Absolute" (like the vodka) .If any one lives there You could go and see and let me know If it is there .They where going to frame so do not know if they did. I went to the thrift shop and there was a bag of flower parts so I bought them . When I got home they matched the pillow . The second picture is the back


I hope you all enjoy it . When I get twenty followers and thirty comments that person will get it as a giveaway.


I went to the craft show today found some nice things from a gal that is from Montana. I want to go again. Today my foot hurt so bad, I had to leave and went to Dr. something with the nerve was getting rubbed .Gave me a shot in it . So I will go back tomorrow to the show if my foot is okay. If this does not work will have a shot again or will need surgery . I have to have it okay for Little Falls. Last year is when it started .Today it was the worst it has been. . It was fun to see people I never see I need to go out more If I had not been with Jeany I, would not have went to the Dr. She said I had it too long ,she sat with me .What a nice friend. I will post picture after I get home tomorrow, what I bought at the show . Laura

  28. Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Laura. I am so glad you decided to join us.

    I am saddened to learn that your foot is causing you so much pain. You are right to get it taken care of. Foot pain is so very painful and debilitating.

    I love the story of your pillow, and of your friend, the artist. Thank you for sharing this with us.
