Etsy Finds: The Picture of Love

I've always felt the gift of art is such a genuine way to show someone how much you care. With Mother's Day soon approaching, now is a great time to start planning ahead. Creative art with a personal touch is a great way to give mom a token of your appreciation that will last for years to come.

Cute - I have 'vintage' paintings from my own mother in my shop. I'm proud to offer some as archival prints, because I want to keep the originals.

For Mother's Day, from one mother to another.

April 7, 2009 at 2:01 p.m. JodyBatson

take a look at rhe treasury cjccjjslsll expiring soon I didn't do the artist justice by the mistake on the title but their work is so worthy of being looked at and considered for any mother as a token of love, these artist got TALENT. My tag line "CAUGHT MY EYE, THEN CAUGHT MY BREATH" was supposed to be the title. hope more people will view and buy from these artist.
