Sidenote: When I find a great shop or artist, I like to share & pass it on. Look at Terry's shop (link below) I see so many pieces I love. It's worth a look-see. Her prices are great. They don’t break the bank. I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I dislike more than overpriced anything. Through the wonders of the internet, her wares and also mine can be shipped all over the word. You have to love technology! Great little shop Terry!
