Love for Sale

Many of you know [livejournal.com profile] blueberrymoon and if you don't, you should definitely check out her journal. She's an artist and a photographer. She sells her paintings on eBay and prints of her paintings and her photography on Etsy.com and today she greeted her friends and family at the Love, Me boutique on Birmingham Street in Halifax. Love, Me features crafts and hand made items including local artists and they are featuring her photos and other items made from her photos and paintings such as buttons, cards, mini purse mirrors, and her prints, framed and unframed. You can see the framed prints i the pics through the cut. I went after work for a little while but my back was not up to standing for too long. The shop was filling up when i left, though. Shelagh's work is always wonderful. Her paintings are bright and cheerful folk art and her photography is just *that* good! One of my favourite photos is this one that she took of her daughter's checked socks and red shoes against a black and white tiled step in London. I bought a set of cards, one of which is this one so i can get a red frame for it. I also bought a button of one of her paintings, cat looking at a night sky. Seeing a photo or painting on her LJ always brightens up my flist :)

I had every intention of attending but being the wimp I am, and not knowing Spring Garden Road that well I hesitated to go, and the rain didn't help. I was even going to bring my cousin Joyce! Diane told me about it and I could kick myself for not being confident enough in my driving. I'm sure it was a success as I love your colorful paintings and your photography is the best! :))))

It was LOVELY to see you Diane! Thanks so much for popping by. It did get busy after you left so you came at a good time.I am sorry your mum didn't make it but it wasn't the nicest night.
That picture of me on the right looks naughty, the pear looks like a bizarre boob!lol!

I couldnt see the pics on flickr :(

That's odd. They aren't on flickr, but they are on Live Journal's scrapbook but you should still be able to see them.

And when are you going to post about your trip?
