A Truly AMAZING Find!

Can I just tell you I had one of those 'this has to be too good to be true' moments yesterday? We were just coming back from walking our two dogs when I told my husband I wanted to just run through a garage sale just down our street because you just never know what you might find. So I'm strolling through all the knick knacks, old books, used golf balls, and glance up to see some random prints for sale. Well, I just about lost my breath when I saw this vintage, limited edition (retired), hand signed & numbered print entitled, "Cousins" by none other than N. A. Noel! I didn't want anyone to notice my excitement, as I almost ran from the garage to get some cash from home...thankfully when I returned a few minutes later, it was still there. True, I felt a little guilty considering how little they were asking for this print, but for whatever reason the owner was letting it go. It's so rare these days to find such incredible items, or at least before all the scavengers get there...so this was my moment of true victory! I do love this artist's work, and have contemplated keeping it, but for now it's available in my store on etsy.

Thank you to everyone who entered...tweeted...posted...& are following! Have a wonderful, family filled weekend!!

"If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are." (Mother Teresa)

Today I found out my work was one of the items that was unfortunately cut out of Flea Market Style Magazine by the publisher to make room for some last minute ads. They did mention my work (on page 12), but wires were crossed & my website was inadvertently printed incorrectly 

(my website is 'Studio Lara' NOT 'Lara Harris')...such is life. 

On the bright side, to soften the blow a bit, I am being featured on the Flea Market Style Blog next Wednesday (the 24th) & although I can't say too much, my work WILL be appearing in print at some stage this year so stay tuned! :)

**Now, without further adieu, the winner of the FREE issue of Flea Market Style Magazine & a FREE Giclee Print by yours truly is: bumblebecky !

THANK YOU to everyone who entered & for your WONDERFUL COMMENTS!
