Meeting Lisa Kaus

Today was a great day.  Actually it started kind of blue, but turned out awsome.  I went to a store in Sellwood, OR, called THE JEALOUS GARDNER.  This is a beautiful store with garden type decor and some plants and flowers.  It is always an inspiration to go there during ANY holiday because you go home and just want to decorate your whole house...Anyway...LISA KAUS was there today having a trunk show.  She had some original work there as well as some of her prints and gift items.  I love her work so much.  She and Kelly Rae Roberts are my two favorite mixed media artists, and I admire their work so much.  Lisa's is the class I had signed up for at the ART AND SOUL event, that I was so excited about and ended up missing.  Ugh...that was a heart break!  Anyway....I met her today and she was lovely and sweet and I bought one of her originals!  Merry Xmas to me!!!!  I had my husband take our picture, so her we are...

p.s.  Lisa, if you happen to see this, I hope I didn't come off as a stalker!  I just was really excited to meet you as I really love your work and admire your style and free spirit.  It was really great to meet you!
