Two birds, one stone...

I talked a little bit earlier about how important I think it is to shop locally, and to buy handmade.

This post is going to be a two fer....

I want to show off my new background, and also to tell you about Mary Howe.  Mary is an artist living and working in the Grapevine area.  She specializes in murals and faux finishes.

She also happens to be my daughter's art teacher!

One day while picking my daughter up from her lesson, I spied a sample board she had done, and asked if she could make me one as well.  

I couldn't be happier!  

So, if you are in the area and are looking to have some furniture refinished, some faux painting or a mural, contact Mary!

You can find her here.
