Erin's Art at The Painted Garden

I feel pampered, spoiled, fortunate, and thrilled to bits!!!

I was a winner in Erin's The Painted Garden first anniversary giveaway. Last Friday was the fun day when the mail carrier left her truck and walked my package up to the front door. Inside was this beautiful WELCOME sign painted on canvas by Erin and........................

.............................a most generous $100 gift card for one of the most beautiful stores, Anthropologie! Luckily a branch opened recently in my area so I'll be heading that way soon to pick out something special.

Congratulations Erin on a whole year of vibrant art shared through your beautiful blog and website.

If you haven't visited Erin you must. This delightful artist paints the breathtaking flowers of Southern California, blending them in to garden scenes, afternoon tea table settings, shoreline vistas and pretty everyday things such as bicycles with flower baskets. Often helped by her 'studio assistant' Bentley............the cutest dog ever.............Erin's colorful art brings happiness to many. If you stop by my cottage you will be welcomed by this lovely sign. Erin, thank you so much.
