~ Out of Africa ~

....and into my sister's bedroom.

 

One of my sisters and I drove the three hour trip to see another of our sisters. Three out of four together at the same time is special. Shooting for four out of four in the spring!

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't it so Out of Africa?

 

 

 

 

Only she would have the coolest pair of antique child-sized chaps hanging in her bedroom. I should have looked in the closet to see if there was a pony in there. Or Robert Redford, sans Meryl Streep.

 

Not only is she a collector of all things fabulous, she is the most incredible china painter. I love this young girl she painted.

 

Custom goblets.

 

Truffle Box

 

Above, some of my treasures she has painted for me over the years. To visit her website go to celeeevansporcelain.com/index.html .

She travels the world teaching as well as teaching at home in her studio (amongst the deer, creek, wild turkeys, so beautiful!)

 

Such a great visit with my sisters.

 

And who knew Africa was only three hours away.... by car no less!!
