I was disappointed to see that she normally charges $550 for a very small print such as yours, however. That was enough to scare me away. :(<br /><br />Amy<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-23550184425235445002011-11-18T18:24:46.002-05:002011-11-18T18:24:46.002-05:00What a splendid gift!

It was so hard to leave that house. Anyway, I spoke with her about a commissioned work of either the kids or that house and I am embarrassed to say all these years later I never followed through. As often happens, life got very busy and I forgot. But one of these days, i am going to commission something from her. I simply adore her artistic style. Enjoy your new art:)3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-36767712398546552742011-11-16T20:33:29.685-05:002011-11-16T20:33:29.685-05:00Joan,

I have been wanting to get a painting done of our home since we bought it 9 years ago, and you have inspired me to contact PVE Designs. <br /><br />By the way, I think you would enjoy a book I read this summer - "Killer Stuff and Tons of Money". It is a fabulous book about an antique dealer and the hunt, the excitement, the shows, the addiction, and the FUN of it all. It is very well written and entertaining. <br />PattiAntiqueaholicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276937668549550258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-33140843856927440402011-11-12T06:42:09.672-05:002011-11-12T06:42:09.672-05:00What precious gifts she gave you -- now treasures....What precious gifts she gave you -- now treasures.

This is a plate! We should give Lola her bananas on it tonight!" Haha - I remember you saying to note that these used to be used so it looks like it will indeed now be being used here! Also, I asked Lillie if she remembered that Miss Joan gave us that and she said, "Oh she has the doggy named Ella. I like her."Dear Lilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916503973078592801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-85764078664303066372011-11-08T16:59:03.726-05:002011-11-08T16:59:03.726-05:00hi Janice!
