Welcome Carolee to SuzAnna's

There's a fun new dealer at SuzAnna's Antiques.......her name is Carolee and she may have kissed the Blarney Stone because she's traveled in Ireland, home of her ancestors. Yesterday, while she was setting up her treasures in this corner space, we chatted non-stop as the Irish and English often do, but at the same time I was eyeing her framed art, especially the print of yet another English country scene...............with sheep!

The other 'sheep in English meadows' paintings I showed you recently on SuzAnna's wall, stayed in my mind, and one of you told me I needed to go back and buy one if it reminded me so much of home. Of course the prettiest one had been sold to some lucky person. Always remember, if you see something you love get it before someone else snaps it up!

Carolee must have known I was coming................for there, hanging centre stage on her wall was my 'sheep in English meadow' painting, an old starting to crumble in the corner print, in the perfect refurbished old gold French looking frame. I love the sky, the river, the thatched stone farm cottage, the man in his crude little flat-bottomed punt.................and the flock of grazing sheep in the water meadow.

This charming print came home with me, thanks to Carolee's generous discount, and looks lovely here in the dining room. Looking over at it I can visualize the Devon countryside where I grew up................and remember how especially beautiful it was when I was there last Spring.

Do you hang art which brings back memories of your home?
