Months ago (a LOT of months ago), I won this pretty pansy painting (try saying that fast a few times) in a give away by Bridget at My Silly Blog.
I finally framed it!
I’ve had so much fun shopping in Karen Harvey Cox’s Etsy, For the Love of Old Books. I also found frames for these Raggedy Ann prints. 
Don’t you love the pretty borders she put around them? I didn’t even have to buy mats for them, because with such pretty borders, I didn’t think they needed mats.
I was one of the very fortunate of many visitors to Karen Harvey Cox’s blog, A Scrapbook of Inspiration, when she gave each of us a floral painting of our choice! I found an easel frame that displays my hydrangea painting beautifully.
Months ago, Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen hosted an All White Tablescape party, and I did a picnic post for the party. I was so honored that Fifi at Fifi Flowers painted a photo of part of my picnic posting.

I found a frame for this painting too.
And I found a frame for another painting by Fifi.
I am so fortunate to have “met” so many talented people in Blogville. Since I have no artistic talent at all, I LOVE being able to benefit from their creativity and talent by ordering their fabulous work. I also love all of the creativity I find on blogs, so I am sharing some of my favorite things recently found in Blogville (Yep! I’ve been stealing pictures again! Please let me know if you would like for me to remove your photo from my blog).

All your pictures are wonderful and I love how they look framed! I love the paintings from Fifi!!
Hi Laurie, It's so nice to hear from you. I toy with the idea of coming back to blogland but just haven't managed to make the leap.
You have a whole Blog Gallery, you lucky girl. I so miss Hobby Lobby. I can't wait to move back to the south when hubby retires (hopefully soon!)
Hugs, B.

Hi Laurie,
All of your newly framed prints look amazing. Hard to believe you didn't have them done professionally. They all turned out great. I agree, there are some wonderful people in "blogland!" I too have met so many nice people--like you!
Have a great weekend Laurie. I'm a little late joining your party, but better late than never!

You made a great haul - lovely frames and your art pieces are gorgeous!
I love that hydrangea picture! Your header looks great to!
I love the way all of your pictures turned out. What treasures you have them. Knowing someone you've met through blogging has done them or sent them to you. Priceless..
hugs ~lynne~
Didn't you get the neatest prints. I love them all. And great frames too!
Maybe one of these days I will be lucky enough to win a painting or print...cuz I can't paint a straight line!!
Hi Laurie,
You certainly are wonderful at finding the perfect frames. Everyone wants to paint for you Laurie. Thank you for sharing my paintings and prints. I love how those Raggedy Ann prints look in your frames. And the one you chose for FiFi's work is stunning.
Have a beautiful day. It's still gray and rainy here, but the sun will return soon.
