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.

    A beautiful print. I've always wanted to find a great treasure from a sale, you know, like you see on the Antiques Roadshow. But.....wonderful fun!

    I can imagine and feel your excitement, what a prize, yet some don't see it as such, hence selling..
    Your work is beautiful! Well done!
    God bless you heaps for the pure joy you bring to others through your paintings.

    I know! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it! I may end up just keeping it if it doesn't sell, but alas it is for sale :) I do love her work though...moreso her oil paintings...this print is pretty light, but I think in a home that is in soft colors or whites this would be perfect!
