This is 'Beau', an adorable chihuahua owned by Cindy Santiago of the beautiful, shabby chic blog called My Romantic Home.I absolutely fell in love with Beau's soulful expression! I would imagine he is a real sweetheart...This piece may already be spoken for, but if not, it will be available in my store on etsy in a few days. 10% will be donated to Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue. If you are interested in having a portrait done of your precious pup, feel free to contact me!

Show & Tell Friday...My Late Grandfather's Carvings

 

(my sister Heather, 'Bupa' Hammerstrom, and me)

Over at My Romantic Home, Cindy is hosting a Show & Tell Friday and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share the wood carvings my late grandfather made...they are something I will always treasure. My grandfather passed away at the end of June...(you can read more about him here.) He is greatly missed by my Grandma, his children, and many, many grandchildren...Thanksgiving & Christmas will surely be bittersweet this year, but I am thankful that he is in Heaven now and no longer suffering.
