27.9.12

from melinda & chris

I don’t mean to single out one wedding gift over another, because the generosity of our friends left me completely stunned, but I wanted to share this one here because I think it is one that a lot of you will appreciate: an original watercolour of Oreo and Pony by Melinda Josie, expertly framed by her husband Chris. When I unwrapped it, I sat  in shock for a good two minutes. It is just incredible, especially in person (click it to view it large). My baaaaaaaabiessss!

ETA: Melinda posted about the painting on her blog!

    AMAZING!!! She is so good, I just love her work!

    One of my friends recently did a couple of portraits of my kitties for me, in proper Victorian bust style...I have a feeling you would like them. Here's my Mabel: http://www.etsy.com/listing/108396786/example-illustration-print-mabel

    aww! that is adorable! it's so nice to have friends that get you (or make you, in this case) exactly what you want, without you even knowing you wanted it to begin with. :)
