I seemed to spend all morning on the internet, purchasing Easter eggs for 10 grandchildren and also a couple of forthcoming birthdays. Four easter eggs (for the smallest ones) I found at Debenhams. They have free UK delivery at the moment. I really begrudge spending nearly as much again for the postage! Of course while I was on the site I became totally distracted by all the other bargains on there. The luggage is so cheap and as I say, free delivery. Our cases get so battered.
In the afternoon we went to meet a lady called Jean. She had been displaying her artwork at Lambousa a while back and she had some excellent water colours of dogs that she had previously painted. Well, years ago, Mal had an oil painting commissioned of our last retriever Barney. He spent a fortune and when it arrived it looked nothing like him but it was a birthday present for me and no time to return it. In the end we kept it and I still have it….in a cupboard!
Jean’s paintings looked so good we asked her if she would paint Rosie. All we did was email a few photos. Mal and I were amazed at the likeness. Not only did we have the painting in a mounting but she also gave us three note cards with the same picture on it. To say we were pleased is an understatement! The price was excellent too. If you would like to contact Jean, you can email her via this contact form LINK and she will tell you what she can do and prices. We don’t get commission, it’s just when I find a quality bargain, I share it! She is also a lovely lady.
